This handmade, imported, collectible hookah has passed U.S. Customs inspection and is EXEMPT from the Drug Paraphernalia Statute under U.S. CODE TITLE 21 >CHAPTER 13 >SUBCHAPTER I >Part D >§863.f Pay with PayPal: Get a MyStoreRewards invitation for cash back 22" 1-Hose Pink Aswan You're looking at an authentic Egyptian handcrafted collectible hookah, also known throughout the world as argile, narghile, shisha, or ghayloon. This pipe was handcrafted in and imported from Egypt, the motherland of hookahs. • Measures 22" from the bottom of the base to the top of the head. Size may differ +/-1" due to slight variances in the height of the clay bowls. • Features a hand formed durable stainless steel shaft with 1 hose port(s), a release valve, and tray. Our shafts are covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects. If we can't fix it, we'll replace it! • The traditional shaped base is made from mouth blown frosted pink glass and hand painted with bands of genuine 18K gold. Because each glass is painted by an artist with his own artistic style, no two designs are identical. Although they will look similar, each glass is as unique as the artist who painted it. This guarantees that you will receive a 100% one-of-a-kind hookah! This is not your cookie-cutter, mass produced, everything-looks-the-same hookah like those that come out of the factories in China. • 1 color coordinated Caravan signature Fifi Abdo hose(s) measuring approximately 60" from one genuine wood end to the other. • The traditional Egyptian style head is made from hand potted, fired, and glazed Egyptian clay taken from the Nile River. • Includes a custom fitted shaft grommet, hose seal(s), head seal, stainless steel tray, metal charcoal tongs, brush kit, and instructions for care. • Shipping for this item is calculated by method, weight, and final destination. The shipping total includes a $1.00 handling fee to help defray the costs of labor and supplies for assembling, testing, and securely packing this item. About Authentic Egyptian Hookahs An authentic Egyptian hookah is a traditional device handcrafted with traditional methods. Please remember that human hands cannot match the precision of machinery! While a machine made hookah looks perfect, it lacks the charm and artistry that the human touch adds. Authentic Egyptian hookahs will meet the expectations of people who appreciate the beauty of handcrafted items; however, they will not satisfy someone looking for flawless high-tech manufacturing. • Clay bowls are potted, glazed, and fired by hand and do not look machine made to perfection. • Glass bases are mouth blown and sometimes have air bubbles as evidence of this fact. • Artisans hand paint each glass base, making every one as unique as the artist. This results in a 100% unique finished product that may not look identical to the photo. • Shafts are formed and assembled by hand, so you may see welds at the hose ports and check valve. • Unless otherwise noted, payment must be made within 7 days of the sale. • To pay with a credit or debit card, please use the link directly below. The billing and shipping address must match and be located in the U.S., or the card will be declined. We prefer payment with AuctionCheckout. The safe, smart, secure way to pay on eBay! • We also accept PayPal—eBay's service to make fast, easy, and secure payments for your eBay purchases! • Money order, cashier's check, or personal check. We do not accept money orders, cashier's checks, or personal checks from international buyers. Orders paid by personal check will be delayed for 10 banking days to allow it time to clear. All payments sent by mail must include the item number so that we can match the payment to the order. If you do not include this information, your order may be delayed by several days. • We offer combined shipping at a discount on most items. Before making payment for multiple purchases, please let us know that you have finished shopping and request an invoice so that we can apply the appropriate discount. In all cases, you must make a single payment for the discounts to apply. Domestic Shipping Options • UPS Ground (estimated delivery time is 1-6 business days) or UPS 3-Day Select (guaranteed delivery by the 3rd business day) is available to buyers with a street address in the lower 48 United States. Both options include insurance up to $100 and a tracking number. • USPS Priority Mail (estimated delivery time is 3-5 business days) is the only option available for shipments to a PO Box, APO/FPO, AK, HI, VI, PR, or other US Territory address. We pay to insure packages sent via USPS Priority Mail and to provide buyers with a delivery confirmation number. International Shipping Options • USPS Express Mail International is available to most international buyers; however, Canadian buyers may also choose UPS Standard. Both options include $100 worth of insurance and a tracking number. UPS charges a customs broker fee which is added to any taxes or duty that your government levies. UPS will notify you of the amount due prior to delivery and will not relinquish the package until the fees are paid. These are fees that UPS and your government charges, not us! USPS Express Mail International is more expensive up front than UPS, but the only additional fees you will have to pay are the taxes or duty that your government levies. When the package clears customs and arrives at your local post office, they will contact you to make arrangements for you to pick it up. • International buyers are responsible for paying any UPS broker fees, taxes, or duties associated with the delivery of their purchase. • Customs forms require a telephone number and will be marked as merchandise. We will not falsify customs documents! • We do not ship to the following countries: Belarus, Benin, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cypress, Egypt, Ghana, Indonesia, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Slovakia, Turkey, Ukraine, Yugoslavia. • Unless otherwise stated, items ship within 5 business days after receipt of cleared payment; however, we typically ship sooner. Items paid by personal check will be held for 10 business days to allow time for the check to clear. • To ensure fairness to all buyers, our policy is to ship in the order that we receive payment. Choosing UPS 3-Day Select or USPS Priority Mail shipping will not move an order ahead of others that were paid before it, but those options will allow the package to arrive more quickly once it leaves our facility. • On the day that your item is shipped, you will receive email with a tracking number from us and the shipping company. If you do not receive these messages, it is probably for one of two reasons: (1) the email address you have on eBay has been changed, or (2) your Yahoo, Hotmail, or AOL spam filter has prevented the message from reaching your inbox. • Pick up is available by appointment at our warehouse in Fullerton, California. Please see our ME page for business hours and driving directions. • Questions about or problems with an order can be handled more quickly by phone than by email, so please take advantage of our toll free number! We urge you to ask any and all questions prior to placing a bid, making a purchase, or leaving negative feedback. Our phone numbers, 1-888-4SHISHA (available to callers in the US) and 1-714-525-9300, are listed in all of our correspondence, auctions, in our store, and on our ME page for easy reference.
