He is a smart businessman with a passion for bringing great products at reasonable prices. Just look at what XXX is compared to it's more expensive and glamorous twin AdP (XXX is not discontinued, he just can't procure more of it - I think he hit their bottom line too hard so they won't sell it to him anymore). Now he's working directly with Tcheon Fung Sing to bring their soaps which normally go for around $30 + shipping to North America at an unbelievable price of $6.99. Take that into consideration along with the fire sale 1st week to get many people to try it and it's a no-brainer to pick them up for $3.99. Once shipping is included and as long as you hit the free shipping mark with IB, then you're basically getting a $30+ soap for about 10% the cost. BTW, I've already received an email confirmation from Canada Post that says... Shipment Status: Item Shipped on May 16, 2012 I'm not sure if it's really shipped out already of if they just received the electronic information regarding the upcoming shipment. Either way, considering how swamped Joe is right now I'm quite impressed.
I should have bought more.... ETA: No I shouldn't have! ETA: Yes I should have! These are the things going through my mind right now....
I'm having the same exact problem! First, it's because I'm mad that I didn't see the 444 special until after I ordered. Second, a small voice in my head says, "It'll never be this cheap again!" It's taking a fair degree of willpower not to order more. However, I keep reminding myself that I am so overstocked on shaving supplies that it's not even funny.
@ blanka: you got 3 of the Don Marco (only 2 of which are for you) and only 1 each of the other soaps. Unless you're pretty sure you won't like one of the scents I'd get at least 1 more of each. If you saw my order I got 2 of each soap and then an extra one of the two orange ones (Don Marco and Cumba Cheech) to make an even 10 tubs. That plus my bowl of Tabac got my order to just over $60 for the free shipping. If I hadn't needed to pick up the Tabac I could have (and probably would have) gotten 6 more soaps to reach the same total just over $60. 16 tubs of soap for $60 is outstanding. To make a long post longer... just make a second order! and don't forget the 444 this time!
Well, I got in on the fun, too. I hemmed and hawed, but I justified this purchase with the 2012 Travel Box--I'll just swap anything I don't like when the box rolls my way.
DOH! Mine didn't ship today it would seem. Bummer but I guess that means I'll at least still get it early next week as long as everyone didn't sneak all the stuff out from under my nose while I was ordering Michael did a fantastic job though of correcting an error and refunding my $25 that wasn't deducted for a gift certificate. Their customer service is always just top notch!
Hey Justin just got a email from Joe from Italian Barber, he said he ONLY got 100 orders out today so mine will ship tomorrow. Heck of a problem he's got. Sounds like he needs a few temps.
Just got home from work and my order is shipped expected dilvery tommarow guess living a 30 min drive from richmond hill paid off!! if I like them when they get here may have to place another order
Hope fully they show up before work tommarow so i can give a breif review for thoes debating on a 2nd purchase that live far ther away from IB head quaters
I'm rather looking forward to this order not just for the new RazoRock but for some other stuff that I haven't tried yet. I can understand how busy they are though so patience is a virtue again I do love seeing businesses like IB do well just because of the effort they put into customer happiness.
