What would you do?

[QueenInNC]

I have a few friends and some of my husband's coworkers (and even people I have seen at bars) that want an ecig. I start to tell them where to get and it some of them have said, can you just get it for me? I will pay you. Would you charge them a fee? I feel bad, but I AM taking my time for them when ordering, having it shipped to my house and delivering it. I almost feel like ordering several to have on hand. I dunno. WWYD?

 

[LaceyUnderall]

Hell yes charge a fee... even if it is only 5 bucks a set... you can have drinks all night for free! (your supplier might even help you out on the pricing of a bulk order so you wouldn't have to charge more than they are online)

if it were me, and these were my friends, i'd just have it shipped to their address directly and not worry about taking any compensation.

and this would be like for a "first time" favor. for replacements, returns, re-orders, etc- they would be on their own, count-me-out!!

 

[CandyGirl]

NO WAY!
no good deed goes unpunished.
give them the info. and let them decide.
i can't count how many times i've done favors for people who didn't get what they wanted, or changed their minds, or got a defective item, backed out at the last minute, etc. and i'm left cleaning up the mess.
maybe i should just get better friends. lol

Friends, sure, but I was out last weekend and a guy spotted my personal vaporizer and was very interested. I started telling him where to order one and he said oh, can't you order it for me if I pay you? I said sure. Do you have paypal. He said do I have what? lol I guess I just assume everyone not only knows the internet but LIVES it as I do (and has no life ). Obviously that is not true. So he told me that he didn't have the cash with him and asks if I can meet him a few days later to get the money, then order it and THEN bring it to him at work and explain to him how to use it! I am a nice girl with a big heart, but that is a bit much! lol Now if we are talking part time job...I'm in!

This is what I am thinking. They guy that I have ordered from the most is very nice and on the ball. I am sure he would consider something like that. This is all very new to this area and people want it!

Just say, puresmoker.com like I do.

Can you try my e-cig? No you can't but you CAN go to puresmoker.com.

Hi Queen,

You Have to Make Money On This & Get The Money Up Front. (at Least $5.00 @)

We Know You Are Very Nice, and Your Friends Know This Too, Don't Let Them Take Advantage of you.

Good Luck!

Keep Vapin!

Queen--If they truly are your friends and some-co-workers, and you do this for them, more then likley they will offer to take care of you or do something for you without you having to ask. People do have a way of surprising you in good ways sometimes--especally friends--just a thought--Sun

 

[QueenInNC]

Thanks, guys. I see both sides, but seriously, I can't run my .... off for nothing.

Cyborgasm, I told one couple to go to Puresmoker and wrote down the name. They called the next day and said that the site wasn't working. I checked it out and it was working, they were just out of a lot of things. Some people just don't have time or want to make time for the computer, I guess. Either that or they would just rather pay someone to do the work for them.

Very true and as I said, for friends, I don't mind, but some strange guy in a bar? Um, I am not so sure. lol

 

[Houdini]

With a couple friends I would do them a favor for free.
I'm gonna print up some business cards with this web site listed first and then a bunch of supplier web sites and pass them out.

That is a good idea, Houdini!!

Words of wisdom...

 

[ZambucaLu]

And will you supply them with an extra atomizer and some juice for each kit? Because you know that one atomizer can die the next day...then what? And they will also eat up carts like there's no tomorrow without some juice.

I helped my brother out and that was okay because I had extra parts on hand if something failed. But then he asked if I could buy for a couple of his friends...of course "they would pay". But there's really more to it when these things get "quirky", as we all know they can. Sorry, I said no.

In lieu of the fee, you could suggest that they can purchase a 10ml bottle of liquid, atomizer, or pack of carts for you. Good way to build up the stockpile and you will be graciously lending a hand!

Very true, Lee!!!

Lu, that is what I am afraid of...broken parts, returns, carts, liquid...Then it would indeed be a part time job!

I already made up cards with the forum's web address and the address of three reputible suppliers and I hand these out. We all know the issues with these devices and I would not want to get in the middle of a problem with another person's device. Plus if someone is too lazy to do the research required, how patient will they be with learning how to effectively use an electronic vaporizer.

Good point.

 

[ed_bollix]

wv2win hit it. After you order and deliver the device and the batteries are wonky and the atomizer burns up... What a mess. I always refer people to puresomker or the smokelessshop. Katy (www.smokelessshop.com) is here in Michigan so delivery is quick and they both have great customer service... i am not interested in supplying customer service I had thought about reselling some stuff to friends but the hardware is just to unreliable.
