We’re sorry your order has taken longer than expected to arrive. We understand how frustrating it is to wait without a clear delivery date. International shipments can experience delays due to customs processing and handoffs between postal services. While we strive to provide reliable shipping options, delivery timeframes are estimates and can vary depending on the destination and local carrier. We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns regarding shipping costs and delivery speed. Thank you for your patience.

Bad customer service! The delivery driver took my package back and they still keep saying they can’t be sure if it was returned after 2 months and won’t refund me. They keep sending me emails saying the same thing over and over again: ‘Hello, Thank you for waiting. We are still waiting for the package to arrive back to our warehouse. Best regards, Louis’ It’s been 2 months! They still won’t send me another product back or refund me! I received a notification within days that the package was returned! Unbelievable. So unprofessional and rude! The order was placed on July 24th. And returned and made it to Florida on July 31st. I still have no refund or credit or re shipment.

I placed two international orders, and both packages got lost after arriving in my country. I contacted both the freight forwarder and local customs, and they told me that I need to contact the seller because only the seller can file a claim and request a refund for the lost shipments. I exchanged more than 30 emails back and forth with The Hookah Lab, but they kept giving me the same strange, repetitive responses. It honestly felt like I was talking to a bot instead of someone actually trying to help resolve the issue. In the end, I lost around $600 and received absolutely no help from the seller. I’ve placed more than 10 orders with them over the past 12 months without any major issues. Unfortunately, my last two orders were lost, and when I actually needed customer support, there was basically none. Very disappointing experience, especially as a repeat customer. Never again.

I ordered 6 items from the hookah lab. They created two shipments for the order. 1 order arrived with 1 item. The other order with the other 5 items has not been received by the delivery service (verified with Louis). This was over a week ago. I’ve reached out to the company about this several times and they keep gaslighting me about when they will ship the other 5 items. I will not order from here again as they steal your money and do not communicate about why items paid for have not been received.

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration. We understand how concerning it is when part of an order has not yet been received. Our records show that your order was split into two shipments, and we have been in communication regarding the second shipment. We are actively reviewing the status of the remaining items with our fulfillment team to determine what happened and the appropriate next step. We never intend to leave a customer without answers, and we appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this.
