I'm getting impatient with my Jakeala order. This is my first time trying the products, so I hope they are good. I guess they will be here eventually. A shipping label was created almost a week ago, but no movement on the package since then. I did receive a code for a discount on my next purchase, but that only bought a couple more days of patience with me.
I received my shescentit order. I got two product I hadn't tried before-the pumpkin white chocolate cowash and the riche moisture masque. I hope they are good.

The garbage: So these people sent my order anyway with no notice and after I cancelled 3 times. Note that once you receive the products you can't return them. You have to cancel prior to your order being shipped and fulfilled which is what I did.
And if it wasn't already insulting enough, the "complimentary gift" that they put in it is the 1 oz size of something that I purchased. Truth be told that 1oz just fills my complete 8oz's because the product is definitely not filled up all the way.
The moisturizer had NO plastic seal around the rim and I opened the top to see the paper seal that you peel back OPEN and the product is used
Also when I have multiple items like this I expect a box. Maybe it's just a pet peeve idk but don't send me 8 products in some dusty envelope.
Oh and let's discuss this rude ass FedEx dude that just dropped my stuff on the ground even when I KNOW he heard me opening the door
And I'm just being petty now but her plastic jars and bottles are thin. Thought they would be the nice sturdy plastic. No wonder it took me forever to open with all that bubble wrap. They can burst open easily

The VERY Good: Myloux.com screwing up my order and not sending out my Sweet Potato Pie butter...only to end up sending me an extra one for free.
The bad (well, mildly annoying): Still waiting on Hairveda. I placed two seperate SSI orders and received them before HV moved out of the starting gate.
The Ugly: No funds! No funds! No funds! There's so much more I want to buy!!!!

Is anyone still waiting on products from Karen's Body Beautiful?
Ynone Shop order arrived today.
Jakeala sent shipping notice yesterday.
It's now down to Amazon Rain and KBB.
Bought a Totally Twisted Loc Butter from Alikay Naturals. I had one in my cart on BF but when I checked out it was gone. So I took advantage of the 25% off Holiday special + the 10% coupon included in my BF order but with shipping it was back to full price again.
Oh something annoying; the spray top for my Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-in popped off the first time I tried to use it. It came off with the clear palstic cap with a pop like it was pressurized. I tried and tried and tried and then ultimately gave up my futile attempts at reattaching the darn thing because all I did was make a mess of it. So I added a note with my Totally Twisted order requesting a replacement sprayer for my Leave-in.
I'm officially broke.

I haven't had any bad Blk Friday experiences this year. All of the vendors I ordered from (SheScentIt, Jakeala, MYHC, APB, Siamese Twists) shipped within the window of time that they said they would. The items were packaged with care and everything looks and smells

Can you send me a pm? I'm tired of wasting money on vendors with poor customer service. I already placed 2 vendors on the never again list.
I'm not saying anything; I've said too much already. As I said, people become loony about their favorite vendors/products. I'll be keeping my opinions to myself from now on.

So does this mean no pm for me

I think it's Alikay Naturals.

I thought so, too...but people be acting wonky. I'm going to edit my original post to include the names of the vendors because y'all are making me feel bad for not sharing (which goes against my nature anyway). But, das it.

I've noticed this from a couple of sellers this year. Shescentit didn't have the 16oz Okra Reconstructor that I wanted and BelNouvo didn't have the 16 oz Coco Castor Pudding either.

But then QB suddenly didn't have 16oz CTDG and I'm sure that's a best selling item. Buying 2 is $7 more before the discount. After shipping, it's not worth it.

Hence why I didn't even bother purchasing from QB this time. I only wanted CTDG since I still have the large containers of AOHC & BRBC

The Good: The Mane Choice is already in transit.
The Bad: TMC ridiculous $12.95 S&H. She betta be happy, I'm really curious about that Ancient Egyptian Collection.
The Ugly: Courtney thinking that her customers are stupid. One of my e-Sistahs pointed out that she's making up the 50% discount on the S&H. Last week she had $7 flate rate S&H on the site.

I agree TMC shipping is CRAZY. I really wanted the vits and a length check T so I spent a good buck with her, I just hope my order is delivered before the few pills I have run out.
If this is true, it's not only unethical, but immoral. I hope her ill-gotten gains are worth the karmic spit storm she's brewing for herself.

It's true. She definitely changed her shipping price for the sale smh.
