New Harvest Hops Just Released For Sale This Morning. Hopsdirect

[dkaos]

I received an invoice from them but the shipping price was so ridiculous I just left it. There was no explanation as to how much I could buy for their flat shipping price either.

I ordered 7lb (7 x 1lb) and i believe shipping was approx $59- flat rate price for large box

 

[Fourstar]

ive got 7lb on its way for 58 bucks shipping + cost of hops. Around $3.99 for 90g of hops on your doorstep. Sounds favourable to me compared with other options and they are as fresh as they can be.

 

[Online Brewing Supplies]

Darren, as much as i hate to bite with your trolling... I have NEVER stopped a bulk buy of hops, infact it was the very reason i got into the business when I was blocked on a hop bulk buy i was handling, so it's something I feel very passionatley about.
Carry on this crap & i'll take legal action, I've simply had enough of your ******** & downright lies!!!! This is your first & last warning.

Threats and innuendo, so typical Ross. How many times have you used this tactic to shut people up. Relax its only a forum, not the ASX
You dont rule the world , Yet :lol:

Anyone else having billing issues with Hops Direct ?
Yesterday afternoon the credit union rung me to query a suspicious transaction
They said a "Hops Direct" were trying to charge my visa a figure more than $29,000
I told them that it wasn't right should have only been around $50 US
They did say a figure of "around" that was then charged to the Visa which went through
I sent Hops Direct an email to find out whats going on but they haven't replied
& this morning after checking the accounts again it appears my neighbor up the road who is combining delivery had a similar thing happen to their account & have been billed twice for a figure that doesn't match the hops invoice
The figure I was eventually charged is also above my hops invoice
Another email to them again this morning but still no replies ??????

Starting to think it all sounds a bit "scam like"

I've only ever purchased from Hops Direct once before and it was a smooth transaction and prices were as quoted. They've obviously made a cockup from their end and I would imagine it will get sorted out once they return to work on Monday. Probably won't get an email reply on a weekend.

I have dealt with Hops Direct for over three years. Have spoken direct and communicated by e-mail. from my experiences I have nothing but praise for their product and service. If anyone has the ability to use VOIP for cheap calls, give them a ring (obviously take into account the time zone ).

[Logman]

I got a response to an email on 2/11 saying they are totally swamped with orders/processing. In the email she asked me to reply with some details and hasn't responded to that either so it sounds like they are really busy.

There was no explanation as to how much I could buy for their flat shipping price either.

Medium Flat Rate Box $45.50 can fit up to 5 - 1# pellet pkgs OR 1-5# pkg. pellet and 1 1# pkg. pellet

Large Flat Rate Box $58.50 can fit up to 7 - 1# pellet pkgs.

 

[chadjaja]

Anyone actually got their hops in hand yet? Over a two week period between order and hops being shipped due to the deluge of orders.

 

[adryargument]

Mine were shipped out of San Francisco on the 4 Nov - No arrival / customs check in Aus yet as per the tracking.

 

[lespaul]

does anyone want to split an order for Melbourne?

scratch that...there is nothing left till imported hops come in 2012

It seems like the citra sold out as soon as it was posted on hopsdirect?

 

[Fourstar]

It seems like the citra sold out as soon as it was posted on hopsdirect?

it was the first exhausted in their leaf crop so they probably only released a small amount for the retail customers.

Good to see that Columbus is now available!

 

[hopcycle]

Anyone keen on grabbing some in Brisbane? 3.5 lb each?

 

[Dazza88]

Mate i am waiting for a 7 pound split order myself but ummm maybe would get 1 pound if ya desperately need people to split with.

 

[mfeighan]

wow im glad i ordered when i did, quite a few out of stock already

 

[Nick JD]

Hey America! Plant more freakin hops.

And you Kiwis too. Grrrrrr.

And to the Aussies: mate! MATE! why are you growing such **** hop strains? Rip out the POR and put in something nice. FFS.

I dream of a future where CUB can't get any more POR and are forced to use Saaz, or, like, anything else, would be better.

POR is like old socks buried in sawdust with a hint of dynamic lifter.

From website:

Ordered on the 4th, sipping note sent a day or two after.
Checked tracking on the weekend and they had left San Fran so must have been sitting in Quaranteen in Aus.

mmm Amarillo! etc etc.

 

[Muscovy_333]

Maybe i got mine faster due to the "sipping note"!

 

[Da Bear]

Amarillo, Chinook, Cascade, Centennial, Styrian Goldings and Org. Fuggles arrived safe and sound today, held up a little and box (not bags) opened at customs, but they made it!
Thanks for the heads up about the release.

I see some brewing in my future :icon_cheers:

 

[Dazza88]

Mine arrived today! Happy times. So much quicker than other us orders from other brewing stores.

 

[argon]

ordered on 25/10 got a notification that it just got sent today <_< and the've sold out of Styrians that i ordered and had to get a replacement. (columbus)

 

[Dazza88]

That sux mate.

 

[chadjaja]

Mine left customs last night but no idea what state customs. Could arrive tomorrow or most likely next week.

Keeping an eye on the imports and might look into a split as I'd only want a few lb's and not a full 5lb order.

 

[Fourstar]

woo hoo! mine are at the post office! im getting them tomorrow morning to avoid the 33 deg heat!

 

[mfeighan]

Still waiting on mine, finally cleared customs
