YAY!
hmmm… haven’t ordered from them YET! lol.
Ok, this is kind of spooky…..my H&S is due to arrive on July 8 too! I ordered Sunday June 23 – I thought the long delay might have been bc they had that little sale? Anyway, I am all out of hot cinnamon spice…..trying not to succumb to Williams Sonoma’s extortion price of $14.99 for 20 sachets (vs. $8 online…..)….will see……
@Lilysmom…. good god! no kidding about the extortion price! i like blends like that as well. H&S you say? hmmm. august, august, august.
Wow – that is a delay! We ordered on the 25th. We missed the sale but someone on Steepster gave me a coupon code! H&S is great, but I’m never ordering unless I get some kind of deal to balance against the shipping.
shipping anything anywhere i brutal these days. and it’s hard to tell with gas prices versus business discounts who is being straight up about their costs and who is playing the part of shipping cougar. there are some vendors that i wouldn’t complain about (verdant and butiki), and others that i have heard are good that don’t charge at all? i am getting samples from teavivre and they aren’t charging me anything… it’s all so gloriously unclear.
i guess it boils down if the company has my loyalty i might gripe, but i’ll still buy. lately i’ve been in the midst of ordering, see that the shipping charge and cancel it. sigh… i hate unrealized tea potential.
I agree about shipping. Adagio’s $35 fee to Canada is ridiculous. H&s’s $15+ does because they ship UPS with tracking and duties/taxes included. I wish more places had the option for USPS like Butiki and others do as I’d rather wait 2 weeks and buy more tea than pay shipping costs.
I don’t actually mind the $15 H&S, as they do seem to have fairly regular sales, and if you order more than a sample, it comes in a tin. I’m in awe of the tins. :)
Same thing with Della Terra. Their shipping is $$, but with their frequent 25-40% off sales, that covers the cost if you spend $40-50.
Yeah I agree about H&S! I was trying to say it made sense. :) And you’re right – catching sales definitely helps male it easier to swallow! I just wish USPS was an option for more places, but I guess that complicates the shipping for those companies. St least that was the excuse Adagio gave me.
I’ve been tracking my H&S order and it hasn’t moved since 28 June. It’s still in the Eastern US. I don’t know why it couldn’t have kept moving through the US on Canada day…..last time it shipped from NY to Washington state……getting worried…..come on package, come to Canada!
I notice that there were no updates either for mine – I’m guessing it’s because it crossed the border and it takes a bit of time for it to cross and start getting tracked again. I wouldn’t worry so long as you haven’t hit your delivery date. I think my first order did that too and it showed up exactly when they estimated it would.
I wish it were the 8th already though! Hahah.
YAY!
