@IDareT'sHair I have purchased from ebonicurls multiple times and while it's worth the wait, the wait is really annoying. Previous purchases were scarves, headbands and turbans. This time I got headbands.

I see SSI has $10 off $30. Ya'll think that's a good deal?

@divachyk
Oh, okay. I was unsure what they sold?

 

[divachyk]

I now have pause on hitting pay now because I know a better sale is on the way when they think no one is looking like you mentioned @IDareT'sHair.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Been emailin' a vendor multiple times to ask a question. Filed a PPDispute and got a response within seconds.

@IDareT'sHair, Eboni has great quality and she's very accommodating. Most everything is made to order which is why there is such a long lead time.

Funny how that happens!

@divachyk
Oh Yean....Most Def.

They will offer all kinds of crazy discounts and flash sales and stuff.

During Crazy times/hours . eg. Tuesday 10 a.m. until 11:15 45%-50%.

Or 6:00 p.m. until 6:50 p.m. on a Thursday.

I can't stand those. That's a quick way for me to unsubscribe. Can't we say KJ Naturals or whatever that vendor is called.

Depends on shipping. IIRC, shipping is a bit high and would likely eat that $10 up.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I was going to say the same thing about SSI @divachyk regarding that shipping.
And you are right about not trusting companies/vendors, especially for BF. JCPenney on Black Friday had all their St. John's Bay long sleeved tops marked down from $14.99 to $5.99. The next day, the shirts were still marked down AND they added 25% off $49.00 or more.

Lesson learned about jumping and buying anything major on BF online. Had I gone in stores, I could've gotten a price adjustment.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@divachyk

Yeah, I want that Kiwi Kiss Butter (8oz) but don't wanna pay a bunch of shipping for it. I'll just wait for it.

I was gone get it BF, but got busy with other vendors and skipped it. I still want it tho'.

I have Seyani, so I'll use that and "pretend" I'm using Kiwi Kiss.

Yeah, I know some folks gone try to slide some stuff in while every body is Jingle-Bell-ing.

@NaturallyATLPCH
Could you had taken your on-line receipt in and got the adjustment? Or, I woulda' returned my on-line purchase and bought them in the store for the additional 25%.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

The vendor offered me a free gift, because I was stressin'.

Admittedly, I start stressin' when I can't get a response.

@rileypak
You get any packages today? I thought my BN might come.

It's here, but never went out for Delivery.

I picked up my Soko Glam package but that's it. No more until next week for me.

I got slammed late last night. Stuff was just sitting out on the Porch.

I happened to look out the window, only because I was on the phone and a friend said we had more snow here than the City he was coming.

But US/PS didn't ring the door bell or nothin'.

 

[Aggie]

@Aggie

My friend said it's pretty good. I'm interested but I'm hoping it's not too strengthening

It is not too strengthening at all. I was looking for that hard feeling and I did not get that at all. In fact, if I wasn't looking I would have thought it was the UCS. My hair stopped breaking instantly but it did not get hard at all and even now, it's 3/4 dry and it still feels so soft.

@NaturallyATLPCH
I've noticed that in the past.

Alot of 'sneaky' high % Sales will come out during certain "busy days" of the holiday season.

@IDareT'sHair

Good lookin' out and thanks for the heads up. I will be looking for these .

 

[Aggie]

BeKura finally sent me a shipping notice this afternoon -

I could have and should have gotten a price adjustment.
But when the shirts arrived, the sale was off. I just didn't feel like going through alladat though.

See, this is why I don't need to read stuff like this. *goes to Etsy*

Girl listen, I already went back there and added that to my cart for the next purchase during a great sale. I sure hope we get another BOGO mix and match sale in January.

 

[curlyhersheygirl]

Hey divas
I got an email from ST talking about shipping delays . Still nothing from Jakeala and I got a shipping notice for my second APB order.

I want to get a few things but I'll wait. I'm currently drowning in cardboard boxes and bubble wrap from all my non hair related BF orders.

Are you surprised?

@Aggie

I have two carts. One for Jakeala and one for APB.

I have two UCS but I may just add a not easily broken or wait until January.

 

[Saludable84]

I noticed the same thing too with these vendors and the flash sale. It's pretty annoying.

A vendor I was looking for emails on BF sent an email saying they would be closed but look out for sales. Wasn't that great. I didn't order because we have our own code and it was basically comparable to the sale percentage off.

A few days later, a flash sale was offered with a higher percentage off than the BF sale. I ordered neither time, instead just used our code.

I sit in front of my work email all day. I don't have time to be checking my personal email day in and out searching for a sale.

The common thought of the vendor is that your going to buy it anyway. And track patterns during the year. But that's a different story.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@Saludable84
Nope. Not at all.

However, I am surprised that she offered me a Free Product.

I feel insulted and it's not my claim.

How many emails and now a free product? How long will that take?

Exactly! Stop it.
