Experience with Synjeco's?

[brooklynpipeclub]

With GH blends becoming harder and harder to obtain stateside I'm looking at overseas vendors to purchase from and see that Synjeco's has a good variety in stock but they only accept payments via wire transfer or AmEx (which I do not have). Has anyone had experience buying from them? Was your experience positive? Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I'd never heard of them. I like that they have a house blend called Bad Nun, ha ha.

Yo bro - I ordered from Synjeco several years ago, and it went well. They have a number of interesting blends. There's a discount on shipping for first timers.

Thanks for the input. Did you pay via wiretransfer? I've never done that before.

I have ordered from them numerous times in the past with excellent results. I used to order Schurch Mogano and Onyx. Back then you could pay directly on the site. I am in the process of placing another order and talking to Daniel. I will let you know how it goes.

The Bad Nun is excellent. I think it is manufactured by G&H.

Thanks for the info. Do you wire funds to them for payment or give your AmEx # over the phone?
Also, do you ever get tapped for duty and taxes when your tobacco arrives? I just got a bill from FedEx for taxes on a pipe I received from Italy recently.

Waiting to hear back from him on payment options. I would prefer using my AE card. But not opposed to a transfer. When I used to order from him I never had any issues with duties or taxes.

Dealt with them a number of years ago and had no problems.

Dealt with them 20 years ago, bought from them several times in the past couple of years. The Oxenfist Twist and Clegir Rope are very good Dark Virginia blends. I got a fair amount of the SG plugs from them. Great folks to deal with.

Generally speaking, If You ask me wire transfer be it from EU to US or opposite would be no obstacle in the western world, a few years back I went wild and bought me a car in the U.S and bank transfer was the payment option I used 'with no ill effects' whatsoever,

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

It'll be very tempting to order from them but in all probability our folks at Customs will seize that packet and impose hefty duties or even worse depending on the order size ,may decide to confiscate it

Ordered multiple times from them. Always paid by wire smoothly. They ship through swiss post (no FEDEX or UBS) and never had problems with customs.
Daniel is an extra nice guy. It is my place for SG plugs and many GH flakes nearly impossible to find here. I would also strongly recommend their own ropes and twists which are made by GH.

 

[JimInks]

I ordered from them from 1998 until 2011 many, many times, and never had a single problem. Daniel was always great to work with.

 

[greeneyes]

I ordered from Daniel last year. Quick and painless. Bank transfers are available in most online banking platforms now (I used Bank of America's just the other day).

Thank you all for your input and insight. It has given me confidence that there will be no issues in buying from synjeco.
