I noticed my latest order was a bit thinner too. All the bags had the different handwriting as well.

Hey guys, a little off topic but what scales are you all using to weigh the hair?
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

I have a digital "the biggest loser" scale.

I just got my order in!  I've only ordered from her twice before and it was long ago, so I don't remember how large the packages were.  However, in my last order, there is a large difference between the Mango Tango (15 grams) and the Tea Rose and Candy Apple (10 grams each). I find it odd that I'd get a third as much of one color in the same order. All three packages have different hand writing on them, so I would guess that three different people packaged them.

My recent hair order included a business card, which has her phone number on it.  If anyone wants to call her, just drop me a PM and I'll give you the number. I'll respect her wishes of keeping her number private and not post it here.

Edit to add- I use a DigiWeigh scale that I purchased off eBay for $30 about ten years ago. It weighs up to 35 lbs and is dead on accurate with the post office. When it broke three years ago, they sent me a brand new one free of charge. This is totally one of the best investments I've ever made as far as shipping stuff goes!

And, I found my hair from the previous order placed in December 2010.  I only used the smallest bit from them to make my clay Zecora custom (see avatar). White Witch and Hematite both weigh 10 grams after I used some. While it is possible I used more than I thought, I doubt I used a third of them for that clay pony.

I sent her an email as well, and referred her here and sent her the link. Again, I'm sure she will take care of things. Just continue to notify her, of course without being offensive, so she knows what is going on with a lot of her orders. I'm sure she doesn't want to offend and drive off all of her business. That wouldn't make sense. :/

I didn't mean to sound offensive, just saying what happened. maybe her email had bunged up or something?

Yeah, my two bags of sour apple martini were very different as well. One was 13g, one was 9g.

Well, this is all quite curious. I usually place my orders in bulk so I haven't ordered in about a year-ish. This is concerning that the current hanks are weighing in so sporadically. :huh:

Yeah, and isn't she always going on about how she gives you more than her competitors and charges less than her competitors?

You also have to remember, they are all separated by hand..so they will be a bit off. But as was pointed out, 8g compared to 14g is REALLY off. That's half, obviously. Maybe she should get digital scales and weigh each hank before shipping out. :(

Oh, I didn't expect them to all weigh out exactly the same, but yes, that 8g hank was very disapointing.  :(

I don't know the weight but there are exactly 38 plugs in the hank I just got today. I counted. I got the hair to rehair a G4 and I don't think it'll even be enough for that. G3s, last I counted, have over 100 plugs. Even cut in 1/4's this won't be enough hair for that. I've tried to be patient and understanding but now I'm furious. This is ridiculous! *goes to count G4 plug holes*

54. This G4 Pinkie Pie head has 54 plug holes and a tail. This is not enough hair even cut in half. I am seriously angry. Her site says her hanks rehair 1 pony. This can't even rehair a G4!
