 Great Product - Delivery (almost) perfect February 8, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The CO2 cartridges for my iSi soda siphon are only available online. The price was fair.
My only complaint was with the fulfillment, which was not bad. But it wasn't GREAT. Which is the way you need to be in the Internet age.
1) Placed the order on a Friday afternoon. Within a half hour, get a confirmation that the product had "shipped." "Shipped" to me, means its on a truck, moving towards me. But it obviously hadn't "shipped", because UPS hadn't picked it up yet. Package obviously sits in warehouse over weekend.
2) Continuing to track the package - I see an "expected delivery date" - about ten days later. Now, the warehouse is in Minnesota, and I'm in Wisconsin. Unless UPS has gone back to using oxcarts, it ain't going to take ten days to move a package from one state to another. I know they say "under promise and over deliver" - but that is ridiculous. Of course, the package showed up on Tuesday afternoon - two business days after I ordered it. Please make your delivery estimates realistic. Sandbagging by an extra week just wastes everyone's time.
3) When it arrived, the packaging looked, well, unprofessional. It didn't have that crisp look of a world-class fulfillment center.
Note: I am in no way a dis-satisfied customer. But Target/Amazon need to work a few kinks out in their fulfillment process.

These don't last long enough. I thought each one could be used with several quarts of water, but they are good ONLY ONE TIME. Very diappointing.
 isi soda chargers December 12, 2007
This product was delivered fast and was cheaper than other stores. These chargers are hard to find, so I was glad to have ordered it through amazon.

Well, at 79 cents per charger (which provides 1 liter of soda), it works out that it costs exactly twice as much as buying a 2 liter bottle of club soda from our local supermarket (80 cents). That ignores the $5.58 per pack of 10 shipping and handling charge.
I called Isi to find a local retailer, and the customer service rep promised me that 'Linens and Things' routinely stocked them. A very helpful assistant at my local store had never heard of the items, and nor had the store computer she used to try to look up the item.
So, it's not even worth giving the Isi soda syphon to goodwill, as a likely recipient will be worse off than if they buy club soda in an unlikely to be recycled PET 2 liter bottle.
Note to self: Another good idea that didn't work out.

The water from the ISI charger is not quite as fizzy as the bottled selzer that I buy but we like it just as well. Also, I like the idea that I'm not contributing more plastic waste - even if we do faithfully recycle. I'm sure that there is someone, somewhere, that would argue that producing the chargers also takes energy but they are sure cheaper to transport than bottles of water being carried by big trucks.
