For those of you living in the UK and those who still have yet to order or would like to reorder the Paltas Leave in Conditioning spray for braids and weaves may be purchase at the sites below and it's a hell of a lot cheaper there: I don't think the shipping is as ridiculous as amazon or ebay
http://www.hairnbeautyshop.com/vpd/hair+oils/paltas+b.k.c+sof+oil+hair+tonic+150+ml+
If you use the search engine of the second site, all the products will come up.
*CherryPie*, AKA-Tude, auntybe, Beamodel, bronzephoenix, charmtreese, CodeRed, cynd, DanceOnTheSkylines, Fenaxa, Fhrizzball, ghanagirl23, HeavenlySkies, Iwanthealthyhair67, JudithO, Keen, Kerryann, lamaria211, LaToya28, Mahogony7, MrsMe, runwaydream, smores, soonergirl
If you saw a second site i have removed it because i tried checking out and realized that it 's 5 pounds per item for shipping.............sorry

nrock - thank you for your confirmation. My front left ,which had a bit of thinning from wig wearing, is filling in. I can't prove the improvement because I didn't take before pics of all of my areas but hair has definitely thickened in that area.
My alopecia areas have not yet joined the "hair grow" party
- but I keep "coaxing them by massaging morning and night" 
Hair re-growth in those areas is a VERY TALL order to fill (due to scarring) - but I won't give up.
PureSilver - I feel bad that you have not received your products. Hopefully you are able to acquire the product from another source.
I don't understand why suppliers don't adopt the "sell more for less" philosophy instead of "sell less for more". Here is a product that has probably not had significant sales over the years - and instead of offering promotion to increase sales - the suppliers are jacking up the prices - which will drive customers away.

Hey! Didn't want to get everyone excited just in case it doesn't work out but I'm working directly with the supplier/manufacturer to order in bulk. I'm hoping to work something out within the next few days. I'm not going to say too much because nrock is right, the distributors are reading this thread and playing w/ the prices. Now that we've started this challenge the interest in the product has increased.
One company even asked me to explain American women's "sudden" interest in the product...that's not ok and has never happened before. I think some are even reading this thread (it's public).
I can't promise I can work out a deal (price + shipping + min order + length of agreement) to do this, but I'm trying...even if and because I do have a very personal interest.
If anyone else in the US buys in bulk or has bought in bulk, I'm willing to buy from you for a reasonable price and shipping.
-----------
To the distributors lurking and reading about our challenge: we are very interested in this product but we can and will recreate it in our bathrooms and kitchens or go without it if you continue to fluctuate the prices and offer us subpar customer service and shipping options.

ilong, my hair has thickened quite a bit. I have not straightened my hair in a year, but I plan on straightening it this spring. I'm hoping to be full mid-back by then. I had to use the search feature to find something on how to mention.
smores,Keep us posted on your progress with the distribution side of things.

Count me out. I refuse to pay $20+ per bottle With with shipping for anything. Will make my own concoction before giving in to greedy sellers with outrageous prices, especially after those pak turds canceled my initial order.

@smores - NO Please DO NOT delete your vent/rant. To be honest I was considering writing PAK, Fab4N Beauty Mall (or whatever the name of the Amazon seller is)and Paltas a similar communication. If the distributor/suppliers are reading (and ITA with you that they are) posts on the forum(s) about the product then they should read your post and similar ones.
Apparently greed has displaced "good business sense". I have mixed emotions about the supplier asking about "American Women's sudden interest in the product". I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume the question was based on business planning ***cough - cough***, which has them considering increasing inventory/supply of the product based on "trigger for recent demand". HOWEVER, if plans include, ridiculous price increases similar to those seen recently - then the supplier's should be aware DEMAND will come to a screechiing halt.
I think they are perhaps misinformed if they believe otherwise.
(i.e. NIOXIN was believed to be one of the BEST supplements and when ILLEGEAL suppliers began price gauging - consumers said
- they must be crazy!

yodie - yay - glad you received it.
nrock - glad you received your shipment. I don't understand how you've received 2 shipments and PureSilver can't get hers.
smores - thank you for what you are trying to do for us and the SUPPLIERS - I hope they realize that ultimately for every bottle sold their benefit is guaranteed. While on the other hand, consumer are taking a chance that the product will work, results are not guaranteed. While negotiating with the suppliers do you think you can see if you can get them to ship PureSilver and AKA-Tude orders? Not sure who they ordered from - perhaps they can post or pm the info.
HeavenlySkies - I totally understand. I don't like being taken advantage of and with the recent price increases I feel these suppliers, especially the AMAZON seller is trying to take advantage of consumers interested in purchasing the product.

PureSilver - so sorry this has happened to you. Did PAK provide a tracking number? Any chance it was delivered to the wrong address?
smores - is Pak Cosmetics one of the distributors you're in discussions with? If so, can you mention PureSilver s order?
I thought I saw a thread which listed "BUYER Beware Vendors/Suppliers"

Yes, PAK. I click the check out with PayPal button and a page pops up with the prices of the products I am purchasing but it doesn't allow me to log into my account.

QUOTE ilong I'm not talking with Pak, but not saying I won't. It's just after all these problems, I'd rather not give them any business wholesale or retail. I'll try to go around them first. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure Pak would handle a wholesale order any better than everyone else's.
One company looks promising but since they don't sell retail, they're still verifying that my business is legit and also that they don't have a distributor in my area, which is standard. During our exchange I told them if not approved, I'd like the distributor info for anyone in the US carrying any of their products. The US list would allow us to push (emails and calls) current US distributors to carry Paltas products. Yep, I'm working on a Plan A & B at the same time.
Hoping to get this all this finalized one way or another before everyone gets MIA for the holidays.

Ok. I decided a photo would be better for this, just way too many ingredients to type out on a phone or tablet. I tried to zoom in on the ingredients.
Paltas BKC Hair and Scalp Tonic for Plaits & Weaves
A completely different smell from the hair treatment. No medicinal scent. Smells like generic shampoo, soapy and kind of light. This is more of a moisturizer, not an oil treatment.

I placed another order with them on 12/06 to see if it would get cancelled out (since so many folks were having their orders randomly cancelled).
I also checked the box that said, if it was un-available to just Cancel & Refund.
As of today, it seems as though my 2nd order placed 12/06 is still 'accepted'. I will let you all know if I ever get it.
It is 3.98 in the UK. Not sure what that is in USD? But it looks cheap.
ETA: My 1st order I paid $10 & some Change.
The order placed 12/06 was $11.00 & some Change
*price creep*
