Use 1 buy 1 Challenge 2010 pt.3

[La Colocha]

Good morning. My qhem should be here today or monday. It is at the p.o. but i don't know if it got in before the trucks went out. My scalp is doing good so far, i used mixed greens yesterday and i don't have any itches so far. I may alternate head and shoulders with bs washes every other week. And i forgot to trim my hair yesterday so i will do it next week. That is a shame with afroveda, i have no recieved a response to my email about the price hikes yet.

 

[La Colocha]

Ya'll know what???? Now I wish I woulda' ordered at least 1 Vatkia Frosting.

I like it after I Relax on my Scalp.

If anyone got an extra one....please let me know. Like if you bought 20 Vatika's....help a Sista' out.

I don't know what I was thinking......

I shoulda' at least got 1 Jar

I feel like i should have gotten more stuff too since it was so cheap. But oh well. The only places that i am really eyeing for black friday are sally's, curlmart and qhem to stock up on what i need. I will not repurchase the moisture maniac once this bottle is gone. I am liking the gvp conditioning balm, i can use it to detangle and dc which cuts down on products and costs. I think the only time that i will dabble with all natural companies again is when they have really good sales like hairveda did.

I agree. I shoulda' got at least 1 Jar of VF. I can't remember if she offers it BF? I think it's only once a year and I missed it.

Yeah, I'm looking at Qhem & Curlmart too for BF (not sure what tho' from CM?).erplexed

BJ really did have a Great Sale. When I looked at my order that "Rinse" was only like $4.25 or something, that was good.

I thought I got great deals on everything I bought from her.

And I got my Shipping Notice, so the stuff is on the way. Eventually.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I told ya'll I got that little Jive-Time 2 ounce from Ori.

And a scathing response to my e-mail. She is DONE. I hate argumentative Sellers.

I wouldn't care if her products had Pure Gold Spun into them at this Point with Diamond Lids.

Vonnieluv08: Did you ever get a response?

I should have gotten a jar too because its good on the skin but i wasn't thinking. I was trying to stick to body products not trying to accumulate a lot of hair products again but most of her hair products i have tried and liked. Oh well its over nah.

So this is the whack response I got from O.O. yesterday after I filed a paypal dispute. I'm steaming hot right now.

However in this situation according to the post office, your package has been delivered. Unfortunately what happens to a package after it is delivered is not something we can control.

Well, she shut the Sale down Early(and alot of people were 'complaining' that she shut the Sale down, before the end-date).

When I looked out there, the VF is still $5.00. And there is a number to call. So.....yes.....I called and asked if there was a way to still get the VF? I had to leave a VM.

I kept saying I wasn't buying any VF (which was stooopid) because it's really good to use after a Relaxer (with that Coconut Oil & All).

Yeah, I only got a "Lame" Response After I filed that Dispute too.

She is Very Un-User Friendly. Her Response to me was less than courteous. Oh Well, I got my little 2 ounces and I won't be back. I am not even tempted.

So, are those "samples free?" If they are, I'd make her send them.

Did the post office really say that the box was delivered? Have you talked to them yet vonnie?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Curlmart has 15%

Coupon Code: FALL15

They always have 15% give me 20-25 hell 30.

Based on the Priority Mail scan it was said "delivered". I went to the P.O. and they don't have it nor the carrier. Everyone wants to blame me for the missing package. I'm just really frustrated with this whole thing. I've had dozens of packages delivered at 3 different addresses and never lost one. Now O.O. is saying its my fault.

None of our packages ever go missing off our porch or in our box. We live on a quiet street with other older people all the kids are grown and don't live at home anymore. The SSI package had been sitting on the porch for a day and in the rain and even the carrier didn't move it when he delivered the next package.

 

[redecouvert]

hello ladies,
IDT: great to hear from you! aaw..I understand about being under-processed. When I used to relax, my hair will always come underprocessed. It doesn't help that I have a sensitive scalp and coarse hair..so by the time the stylist is touching up the front, the back is burning and I want to have everything rinsed out. Have you tried Mizani relaxer? that's the one that worked best for me...

chebaby: I know what you say about henna mixes I just use water and if I am not lazy a herbal infusion. I add about 2-3 tsp of ACV to give the color a kick!! I buy my henna from mehandi and she told me to add a little bit of ACV since I am allergic to citrus oils...well..guess what the color was amaaazingly red!!

Vonnie: so sorry about ORI

Colocha: 30% will be nice indeed. I've never ordered from curl mart.... by the way I miss your blog updates

Today, I am steaming my hair..yay! I haven't done that this summer since it was so hot..so this morning I was dusting the steamer...I am mixing some rhassoul from anita grant..pre-poing with coconut oil and about to get ready for a me time...sigh.. I looove pampering my hair! that's what I missed the most when I was locking.
I still think of locking but I know it is not for me...no more hunting down products ..no ma'am..
I am even tempted to order some qhemet even though I know it has citrus oils and will bother my scalp...

Talking about citrus oils, that was my experience w/ Vatika frosting. Last september, I order 10 VF from hairveda sale...I was so excited, imagining all the bonding times w/ VF. As soon as I applied it, 3 minutes later, I was rinsing it out crying
I shipped all of it to my sister who lives in Tunisia!!

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Yup. They Do.

Didn't they have 25% BF last year? If they do again, I may get some BeeMine Luscious from them. Not a big deal if I don't though.

Here are some things I am looking at:

Qhemet
Marie Dean @redecouvert have you checked out Marie Dean? Go Look! You like that kind of stuff
Hairveda *depending on what she has*
Claudie
Jasmine
Komaza
Njoi
Christine Gant

Still haven't narrowed down anything. But I am committed to NOT Buying anything until then tho.

 

[redecouvert]

Marie Dean redecouvert have you checked out Marie Dean? Go Look! You like that kind of stuff

ooh..off to check it out..
I am also on a no-buy challenge...it's been hard...
I am considering getting a case of JBCO once I use up all the oils I have and stick w/ only JBCO

 

[Vonnieluvs08]

Just read the response to my paypal dispute. O.O. shows no grace whatsoever. The first statement to me is a lie. I asked if they would resend or refund and they never responded. I'm done with them. I don't even want the samples. Any other company would have understood and resend or refunded to show go faith or customer service and avoid bad press.

I believe that we responded to your emails and related to you that since we have fulfilled our duties in providing your package to the USPS, our liability is now terminated. Your issue should be with USPS, not with the company that sent the package. USPS track and confirm states that your package was delivered. At the point where we provide your package to the shipping service, our duty is done. We are very sorry that your package was either lost or stolen. However, as a matter of policy, we cannot grant refunds in these situations, when as far as we know, according to the USPS , the package was delivered.

Girl, go look at that Marie Dean.

I do use Mizani Butter Blends Lye (Regular). I may switch to Super/Coarse.

I know you can't use Citrus Oils Red. That's too bad.

I know. She is just plain Tacky. I asked for my $8.99.

She dismissed my PayPal.

This is what i was going to ask you next, so i wonder why the ori package came up missing. I too have never not recieved anything that was sent to me or ordered. Now something has been spilled or broken but it has gotten here. I am sorry vonnie, if she can prove it has been delivered to paypal you just might be out of money. The thing to do here was to answer your emails promptly and to if not send out another package at least, at least offer a refund. If someone is hurting that bad then maybe they are in the wrong business.

I am not siding with ori at all but this statement is right, but how you go over and above it to correct the situation via another package or refund. That is good customer service, that is what will keep people coming back and giving good reviews. I know people try to get over but the first time she should do what she can and if it happens again then that person is on their own but respond to people. Don't wait until paypal gets involved, i hope she sees this thread.

 

[Shay72]

I recently did not receive a package and according to USPS it was delivered. I didn't even go there and just took it as a loss. The p.o. hours are 9-5 during the week and 9-2 on Saturdays those don't work for me. So oh well...Besides I was just not in the mood to give it my time & energy.

I have another lingering migraine. I think I may start on my hair. Hopefully that will be relaxing.

Hi Ladies!

Where is the ori thread? What is the full name of the company?

Let me take this back, i have read her policy and no where does it say we are not responsible for lost or stolen packages. I was assuming it did because other vendors have stated this. Paypal may award you just because of that.

Hey ladies, just popping in to say hi, I will be back later.

T, I only got one VF! I surely would send you one if I ordered more than that. Maybe I will win the double order. I still haven't gotten my HV shipping notice but I did order later than everyone else.

I am really please with the aphogee 2 step. My hair looks nice and it feels great. I am now 100% certain that my hair loves protein.

I am so disgusted by Ori, I want to reiterate that I will never order from her. Trife as heyall.

Che, good luck with the henna. I think you will great results. I only buy my powders locally from the indian store because it is so cheap, like $2.

 

[mkd]

AV has really made me evaluate what etailers I will be buying from. Really I feel like we are being played, like lets see how much black women are willing to pay for products and a lot them are using bases. I am probably sticking with HV and KBB and everything else I can find locally as long as the store here stays open. If they were to close, I would shop at curlmart.

 

[Ltown]

im about to go find this indian store. i hope i dont get lost lol. im good at getting lost.

Che, those stores are in crazy locations the ones in Maryloand near UMUC don't make me comfortable and they don't have everything I want. I found this site which is in the vendor thread great and fast delivery:

AyurNatural Beauty | Ayurveda | Ayurvedic Products | Ayurvedic Herbs

That's been taken care of, by another Lovely Poster in this Thread.:littleang

Did your package arrive?erplexed

I keep looking it up and it's still saying ACCEPTANCE from September 30th. It had an estimated delivery date of today tho'.

 

[Shay72]

I got my HV shipping notice yesterday and got my box today. She fit all of my products in one box. She's always done that. I appreciate that. I like the bottle that my purfumed oil came in. I would be able to travel with it which is important to me. Actually I like all of the packaging. I noticed that the consistency of the butter cremes are different than what I have. Matter of fact two of my jars the consistency is creamy and one is more whipped. I'm okay with that if they still get the job done. They ones I previously purchased have a thiiiiiiick buttery consistency.
