"Any flavor not currently listed will either be available shortly, or it will be removed."

I know this Boba Tea being gone is not funny but that answer made me laugh. Well, it will Either be gone or not be gone.

I remember being a youngin' and hearing, "many a true word is spoken in jest". Never quite understood it though --- I mean, is that what makes the joke a joke?

I always took it to mean people say they are joking but they are not. Like saying to a friend "that hat is really ugly! haha just kidding!" but are they really just kidding?

Weird. So i put my first order in to Ahlusion yesterday and logged in this morning just to check the status and see that in the order status section it reads "declined". Now i know this isn't/can't be about my payment... is this what it reads until the ball gets rolling or something?

You will want to call or email them. As far as I know that means it did not go through.

All over the place
I got a message from Alley today, and hers was a little more positive and made me think they might actually bring a boba back. Let's hope so...maybe they're doing some rethinking after the feedback.:) we'll have to wait and see....

MAYBE NOT?

So some flavors have been disappearing because of the lack of feedback (<2%); now that it's public, people are sending multiple and duplicate feedback e-mails - this is not advisable as our system will delete these e-mails and we'll never see them. Any other flavors that do not perform well (regardless of how good the feedback is), can also be removed. It's simply because we cannot keep flavors on hand indefinitely (storage, testing, etc etc).

We also get the same questions over and over again about where flavor XYZ is; if it's not listed, it's either not available at the moment, it's being revised (based on a global flavor profile/feedback), it's being discontinued, or it was re-purposed and modified for another vendor.

Since 2009 this has been our practice and the list is always changing. I can't think of any specific at the moment as I haven't seen the reports yet. My original message above was just to clarify some of the things that have been happening as we're apparently getting flooded with duplicates that we do not even see

When someone is on the phone they may want to ask if the custom line will remain in place after Express VG hits. I would think the custom line would be an annoying redundancy at that point especially considering that Express juice production and storage would theoretically double along with the added production necessary to stock 4 more stores. I love Ahlusion but I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I wonder if they sold the recipe for Boba Tea. If that's the case, I'd like to know to whom they sold it. I'll gladly give them my business instead.

In the past year I've made 19 orders and spent over $700 on juice. And of everything I've tried, there's still only 5 or so that I feel I can not live without. Boba Tea is one of them.

I don't buy this jazz about >2% feedback. The BTs are ....... delicious and I know they sell. Sales should be the main thing, not feedback. So to discontinue it, without even a warning to he people who have been buying it on a regular basis and have come to rely on it is pretty.... rude.

I feel like if they want to trim the menu, why not start with the duplicates? Do you really need a half dozen peachy or strawberry fruity blends? Do you really need 5 varieties of cha yen, or 5 maple tobaccos?

Boba Tea is totally unique and there's nothing else even close.

A little FYI on what just appeared on the AHL Facebook page with respect to no longer available mixes and I'm all shook up like the other KING :)

Bolded by moi below

Question: Lack of feedback? As in feedback emails? Not sales?

THE KING said: "A combination of both, but feedback is considered first. Useable feedback. If the volume is too low on a particular product (or component) it doesn't make sense keeping something in stock, especially if it's costing us more."

Yea I can hear you grumbling and might wonder if I took my meds. / lol in one or more of our threads we talked about emails we get from Wlad and myself in particular along with others. Mine was about breaking links from ECF to the mother ship and how I know from decades of experience that this costs him sales. Guess what...

Wlad is driven by the customer experience FIRST and FOREMOST. It's number one on his list and I'm the first to admit with decades of marketing experience, some of which was BEFORE some of YOU were born, /lol I used to have trouble wrapping my head around that! NOT sales first.

It's the way he roles. I respect that and am fine with it. Doesn't mean that is the way I would run a ecommerce site but heck, that's just me.

EDIT: the lack of a warning for a given mix that he intends to "nuke" is unacceptable and I politely and respectfully told him so.
