another place selling heat clamps

I've been searching for a cheap fusion wand/heat clamp.  I came across another wholesaler, this one in Shandong Province, China.  I don't think we've seen this company before.  Their iron also looks like the Revlon one that Doc sells. Here's what I found:

http://qianfinehair.en.alibaba.com/product/50052649/50240093 /Fusion_Clamp/Fusion_Clamps.html

The company's website is http://www.qianfinehair.com

I'll ask what their prices are...although if that other place that only has eight left will sell at a good price, it'd be easier to get eight buyers instead of ten.

Hey Leia~ I did contact this company about 3 weeks ago. For
some reason I though the companies were connected as I had
their site in with my sensual folder. I guess I must have put them
together as I was sending out e-mail's to them both looking for
this particular iron. I heard back from a guy called Paul Yip
(Revolution) , that connected me with Irene from Sensual.
I also e-mailed Qianfine back a few days ago about their
human hair .......have not heard from them yet.

I don't think this company got back to me about the irons. I
checked the mail I saved and did not see a response, now that I
really searched for it. I have e-mailed so many companies
lately on their stock........I can't keep track!!

Kewl, let's see what they have for prices.......minimum is 10
irons for this company. I e-mailed them tonight again on the
irons, so we can see if we get the same price from them.

Irene from sensual won't budge on the $98 shipping for 8 irons.
I will post her response on the Sensual thread.

I agree it still works out cheaper, but if we can get the same
deal from this company with less shipping, then it's worth
looking into.

keep us posted if they reply Leia Save~A~Stray38429.8652199074

Okay, here's what Mr. Chen from Quian Fine Hair said:

irons $48 each
T/T fee $30-$50
shipping $20 for four irons

(That last part has me confused...like maybe we don't have to buy ten?  I'll email him back.)

That doesn't sound too bad, though.

Another update from Mr. Chen:

$48 per iron
T/T fee approx $30
shipping $50

The minimum is 10 irons, unless we want to buy other stuff from them.  (So feel free to look around).

Otherwise, if we can get ten interested people, it would be $56-$58 per person, plus shipping within the US (probably another $5 or so).  That means for between $61 and $64, we can get fusion wands.  Anyone interested?

So, it turns out this is a better deal than Sensual, but we'll need two more people.  Can we get that many people who want some (or perhaps have the ability to resell some as well)?

I would be willing to buy an iron at that price.

Great, I think that brings us up to three (because I'm assuming since SAS has been looking into this that she's interested).

If we can come close (like 7 interested parties), then I'll go see if I can recruit a few more from Quinn's board.

Hey Im in with you girls on an iron so long as its a dual sided heat with temperature control. I havent been on the board much the past few days but I still check in and check my messages. So count me in on what ever everyone decides.

Leia~ If his Iron is the exact same as doc's iron and cheaper
than Sensual then I'm in. Save~A~Stray38430.97

I don't know how to tell if it's the exact same as Doc's, although it sure looks exactly the same in the picture.  I asked to double check that this is a dual-sided adjustable temp iron, and Mr. Chen has affirmed that it is.

Thanks Hun,.....if he confirmed the dual sided and adjustable
temp then it is probably the Doc iron. That's good enough for
me!!
I sent one more e-mail to Sensual telling them this competitors
prices and can they beat it. I will let you know what they say.
No pressure!! HeeHee

You are a cunning businesswoman!  Frankly, it would be a bit easier if we only have to come up with eight buyers.  Although, looking at Ebay, it would be quite possible to recoup the cost of having to buy an extra. (There's a single-temperature one that's at $52 with well over 3 days left, and it started at $1.)

From the pictures posted, the one on the Sensual site is for sure exactly the same as the Doc's wand - down to the RK on the side hinge thingy. It's hard to tell if it's the same on Quianfine as the picture is small. But if you girls are satisfied that they are the same wand, then that's the one you're after.

Hello every one, I am fairly new to the forum. I actually have been reading for a while but never  posted. I would like to get in on the purchase of a fusion iron also. I am in California.

Welcome, Meriam!  That gets us halfway there.  Just check back here for any updates.

I started a new thread, as I did not want to get lost in this one. Please count me in.

Octavia

damn guys, i bought mine last week, it will be here tues

Ooh, I want one. Will this happen soon? I can't splash out for one for another few weeks or so, but definitely want to get one.

-Rae

Don't worry, Rae. I'm sure we can work something out.

The list so far:

Leia
SAS
Sherrie
Katherine
Meriam
Octavia
Rae

That makes seven.  Any word from the Sensual people about our comparison shopping?

Leia~ On an e-mail last week Sensual talked about absorbing
the wire charge. So I e-mailed her back to confirm this. This
was her response

I will email Mr. Chen when I get home. 

Also, I've never had PayPal charge me a fee, since I have a personal account. There is a $500 limit, so if one or two people paid by check, I think we'd avoid Paypal fees.  So right now, we need three more people; also I need a distribution volunteer because my dad would probably kill me if he knew what we were up to (not a hair-experimentation-friendly person).

Just a thought - with the fees etc. included, you're only saving about
$15 buying from this place rather than from Doc or HairCandy.
Given the trouble that you seem to be having thus far, what would
happen if one or more of the irons was faulty? Or if there were
problems with the shipping? Customer care doesn't seem to be of
highest importance here, and personally, I'd rather spend the extra
$15 buying from a reputable source.

Sorry if I'm pissing on your chips here, but I'd hate to see anyone
lose money like this. Not that I'm saying you definitely would, but it's
worth considering.

I almost wonder if Doc would be willing to offer a discount for a mass order of, say, 10 irons? Does she do that sort of thing? :)

Actually, Sam, we're saving about $40 each this way.  An iron from Doc plus shipping is about $108.  We're looking at $65 each.  If it were only $15 difference, I'd buy from Doc (or Kristin...but I want temp control, hun).  I will ask Doc if a bulk order discount is possible.

I can't help it...I'm incapable of buying anything full-price.

UPDATE: the irons are fully US-compatible (plug, voltage, etc.)

Hey Leia~ Thanks for the update. Do you know the exact wire
charge by any chance?

The paypal fee I was taling about is.......if anyone pays through
paypal to the person doing the actual order and shipping, they
will get charged for receiving the money. That's why I included
a 2.9% paypal fee. If everyone pays with checks, then no fee as
you said.

I just accepted a paypal fee from the UK, and paypal charged
me 4.279% to get the money!! I was like what the heck!!
I thought the highest fee they could charge was 2.9%....???

So do you get charged more for accepting an overseas
payment?? I rarely use paypal, so was just wondering......

Leia~ I have had no response from Mr Chen at all. Do you want
to do this ASAP or are you girls in no hurry here? Save~A~Stray38434.0326273148

Hey there SAS, pm me the amount and I'll reimburse you chick, I wasn't aware of that either xxxxxx I've just been charged $30.00 dollars customs this end to get the hair, had a post office card waiting for me on my mat last night saying I had to go to the post office and pay it before they would let me have your package - bummer! xxx
