Hi,
has anyone seen or heard of this website http://bglhmarketplace.com/  I just discovered it today its a US website looks fairly new they sell Oyin handmade products pretty reasonably, I wanted to see if there shipping costs were high or not so I added a few things to my basket and to my astonishment the shipping was only £6.11!!   that was the flat rate to ship to the UK. I am going to make an order later this week has,any one ordered from here before?

I haven’t ordered from there, but I do know of them as I’m an avid follower of their blog Black Girl with Long Hair.  That’s great news that their shipping is so low.  They also sell Karen’s Body Beautiful amongst other lines.

Think i’ll definately be making a purchase have wanted to try Oyin products for a while now but just couldn’t bring myself to pay the high shipping fees. The only downside is that they don’t sell the Honey hemp conditioner which I am desperate to try but hopefully they will eventually. I hadn’t seen there blog until now looks pretty good, very informative I may have to start following too.

O that’s great yeah I’ve been interested in the honey hemp conditioner and burnt sugar pomade for an age! keep us posted on how your delivery gets on. Also did the tell you if there was going to be any custom charges?

Thanks for sharing Grantelicious87 - I cant wait to look that up

I still dont get this who customs thing! I won a prize and they sent it from America and that was charged :S do you think its just a chance thing?

it’s a chance thing about the customs, i have had stuff before that didn’t get charged and others that did. Some friends recently sent me a box of stuff from the Philippines (last week) and i didn’t get charged, it was full of goodies. Now, this morning i received a very small package from some other friends in Abu Dhabi and got charged 33 euros custom fees!! eeeeeekkkk!!!

I read that blog all the time, but never thought about ordering from them, big thank you for sharing this, i think i might order some KBB from them in the summer, as i love the hair milk and nectar, want to see if the sweet ambrosia is any different and want to try the hair butter and luscious mask as well!

wow thats amazing. i love their site, i’ll have to re-stock pretty darn soon!

Hi Grantelicious87 - you could contact them about the Honey Hemp condish and ask if they would consider stocking. Demand = supply! 

Thanks for the hookup..
Almost half off nextrastore prices without considering the custom charge gamble

Hmmmmmmmmmm boooo - Thanks Jackylou x

I hate custom charges.

I have had packages that have been fine, then had a small one that hit with a charge that cost almost double the item itself!!! I wasn’t pleased.

Its just luck from what I understand.

ahh i am out of luck, they don’t deliver to the netherlands!! ssshhhhhh!!! :(

Could you not get it sent to the U.K and have someone forward it to you?

yeah, i suppose i could do that, but will be paying shipping twice! but as i am planning on coming to London in the summer, i think i will order anyway and get it sent there and will pick it up in June! why didn’t i think of that? I wish they sold the Honey Dew, i keep hearing such good things about it i really want to try it!!

Hey ladies,

I hope there won’t be any custom charges, never thought about that! would be a real let down. I’ll be making my order on Friday so i’ll keep you all posted on how it goes, quite excited i’ll be ordering the Oyin burnt sugar, Juices and berries leave in,kbb hair milk and deep condish wanted to try these out for a while, its great that they stock KBB, especially as KBB don’t ship internationally.
@CrystalTips- your right I should inquire about the honey hemp condish so I’l send them an email, the site looks fairly new so I think they are gradually getting more products in, so fingers crossed the honey hemp may appear soon!  
@Jackylou- You send ask them if they would consider shipping to the Netherlands, they may make an exception, its worth a try
