Idea to help our International Members...

ok so Im new and since I dont know anybody or anybody knows me Im guessing that can cause a lil trust issue or whatever but I soooo wanna participate. I live in The Netherlands and Im eyeballing the 'bee Mine hair serums' like Im R.Kelly on a cheerleader match! I dont have a fotki (yet,Im gonna open one when I have my BC) but my myspace is www.myspace.com/cococuraida ( BIG HUG MAXWELL fan,hence the name lol) so you can see who you're doing 'business' with and I have a paypal account so that shouldnt be a problem. Oh yeah,I also have an ebay.com account which Im guessing I have a 100% good rate or whatever since I always paid my shizzle right away.
So I dont know if I can join but if there is anybody out there willing to help a sister with that 'buy 2 get 1 free' action from the 'Bee Mine Hair Serum' ?!
:blush:

Suerete bless you!

Everybody black I see here in Australia that isn't Ethiopian has HORRIBLE hair. There are NO products here for black hair that aren't truly inflated in cost or just plain useless. Some fool was selling Fashion Fair powder for $65!!! I could buy this for $18 in the US and have it shipped to me and arrive in 3 days for a total of $43. Even with $25 shipping this is still cheaper than the "crack dealers" here!

Honesty, I would be over the moon for online vitamins or cosmetics that don't ship internationally. That would give me more bang for my buck. Personally, if I could work something where I could buy my items online sent to their address and pay someone to ship it to me, I'd be really happy (My dad is not in any condition to do this for me, he's to old). If there's anyone that's willing to do this, please PM me when you get a chance.

Thanks so much for this thread!

wow....EVERYBODY!!!:rolleyes:

so is this happening or not??? it would be great to have people to shop for us.
 
:yay: :yay: :yay: :yay:

This is a wonderful idea! I have an account @ www.myus.com, which is actually great, I get everything shipped to me and can even order clothes,...etc from the US. But it would be great to have an LHCF hair shopper:D I'm all for it, I have paypal:yep:. There are a few products I want, but I'm on a no buy challenge for six months, so...untill then, let's keep in touch lol.
 
Wow-what a great idea! I'm from Australia so it is a lot harder to find some certain products over here. What about products that arent for the hair? Eg; nail polish, cosmetics, skincare? I'm thinking I could make a whole list of stuff I'd like. \: And I'd be happy to send stuff to anyone in the US too-but I'm not sure theres much you could find in Aus.

LADIES PLEASE HEAR OUR CRIES!!!!!!!

i would like to get magnetic rollers, holders, end papers.

when is this starting????
 
Hi ladies. I was just wondering if anyone is gonna get this idea up and running? I think it's a great idea as I would love to get some things sent over to Australia. :rolleyes: And just out of curiosity, how much is a MAC Creme De Nude Lipstick and Nars Striptease Lipgloss in the US? Oh, and what about Redken All Soft Leave In? Would love to hear back from somone. :yep:
 
I'm willing to help. But I seriously need to get up to speed on shipping costs. As a test, I'll give it a shot with the first few ladies who pm me.

I have several BSS's in my neighborhood. So I'd imagine I could get my hands on most products.

This week I'll be making trips to Super Walmart, Sally's and Target. So let me know what you want ahead of time. For the next 30 days I'll post my shopping schedule on my hair blog.

I've seen 3 half wings I like, and the Keracare Humeto in the tub, I would love to buy these, can we start a sticky of the ladies that are willing to be shoppers?
 
Please Please Please ladies, if any of our international sistahs are willing to help. Please put your name forward. I know that I would be sooooo gratefull
 
Maybe the wheel doesn't need to be re-created.

We can just post an ongoing thread titled: International Shopping Thread in the product exchange forum, find a way to set up a PayPal vendor, and when someone needs something, another person stateside can offer to shop. It will be entirely voluntary. There can maybe be 3-6 people with access to PayPal to disburse funds to the shopper so that one person is not responsible with all the activity. Also, we would not want someone who is challenged with stealing to just be in charge of the money with absolutely no accountability.


  • When someone wants to order, they make their request known on the thread.
  • When someone wants to shop, they let that person know that they will shop for them - on the thread.
  • One of the multiple people with access to the PayPal site will monitor when the buyer has paid the Paypal account titled "International Shopping Thread" and will then disburse the funds to the shopper. The buyer must include fees, shipping, and a lil' something to the shopper for their trouble so that the shopper is not "put out" for doing a favor. As time goes along, we can get an accurate idea of the cost of various weights and shipping times, etc and post those clearly on the thread as well. It might not be a perfect science to start and I can imagine why this stopped; it's challenging working through all of this. I think, however, over time, it would be perfected to a science and we would not have to get mad at one another and reduce ourselves to namecalling or any other hurtfulness which can happen when dealing with money and long distances. We could be a model to others who want to learn to work together.
  • Finally, once, the shopper is finished shopping and has mailed items off within 3 days of having received the monies from buyer - which should actually be within around 5 days AFTER they said they would shop - they have to post to the board (in a very public manner) to say that the buyer's item has been shipped. The shopper should also PM the buyer with the exact same info.
  • Everyone involved should subscribe to the thread to keep up with all info on a timely basis and for accountability. This way, we can watch shoppers and buyers to get an idea of who is reliable, kindm trustworthy etc over time.
Have I missed anything? Have I repeated everything else that has been said? (I just dont have time to go through the entire thread at the moment, Sorry!!! :wallbash:)

I am willing to help in any way possible. We should really try hard to make this a resource in every way to international members and maybe even to stateside members.

The only thing: it might not actually be cheaper the longer I think about this. It might be a tiny bit more costly but might be worth it simply for peace of mind for people overseas who want access to products. (I am thinking of shipping and the fee to the shopper.)

Bumping now for feedback. If we all work together, this could be up and running in about three weeks maximum from today. Please give honest feedback so we can know what everyone feels at this point and whether or not to let this thread die...

Subscribing....

Blessing to us all!

That's great. Thank you so much.

I wonder if there is anyone willing to help with the PayPal stuff. I'm overseas and would be one of the people who needs to get products every now and then.

I need to go back and read the entire thread...
 
I was thinking about this the other week. I always feel bad when I see the threads about international members searching for stuff. I'll be a shopper. Let me know how I can be of service :)

LOL. I have a conversation with Beverly coming up that hopefully will help the site be able to help international members better. No promises..but we'll see what happens and better be able to say whether or not this idea can work on a large scale for everyone not in the US or not with access to the products they want to get with ease.

Should be able to update on Monday the 23rd of Feb. 2009

Blessing to us all!
