hey everyone hey all right welcome back if you're following our social media accounts or Instagram
or YouTube you know that we recently returned from Guadalajara and we were told that that's
just where you go if you need Furniture because it's a lot less expensive than it is here in Baja
this was a last minute trip for us we should have done research before um it wasn't planned so we
just went for it and if you keep following along for the end of the video we're gonna go over the
things that we should have done could have done or what we would have done differently originally
we didn't plan on doing it we're gonna get our furniture and everything here however we've been
told that the thing to do is to go to this place and to get our furniture but we were a little
bit scared about Donuts so we decided to get some help so we're gonna go with our friends you might
have remembered them from a previous video we did because they're also building their house here so
let's go check them out and see what they're doing yeah let's formally introduce them it's Greg hey
Josie where are you guys from we're both Canadian so whose idea was this to do this Guadalajara trip
actually to be honest and I had the thought and then I kind of put it in the back burner and then
um Kelly and Tamara brought it up again and it's like wow I have an opportunity let's go
shopping and we have uh several other friends that I've done the same experience and had positive
responses and that's what also inspired Josie is just word of mouth and just how cool it is and
the different unique Furniture available and um yeah and the Ceramics yeah and we want a little
bit of a Mexican Flair with our new build okay so here we go we're going to the airport [Music]
all right so tell us what the experience been like so far I want to come back but not with
without the pressure of shopping to furnish our home in two days
the master no no oh you're okay so we're still working our way through all these little stores
along the way and it overwhelming and I will say that and then to find like okay we might like this
the price is not bad but then we're still unsure of the prices for shipping and then when you find
stuff at each little place how does that work where you can get it all together to ship so I
don't know it's one of you maybe do one or two big pieces if it makes sense and then all the little
stuff we just have to find it in Baja yeah we had all these plans about getting a bunch of different
accent stuff but unless you get it at the same store I mean I don't know how you're gonna get
everything back it's gonna it seems almost like uh it just wouldn't even make sense honestly and then
there's the store in front like the pretty Mexican style um pottery and stuff like maybe we can I'm
sure they have it in the pause or somewhere else that we can find it and not worry about shipping
we just drive it home not worry about it breaking I don't know even a simpler couch so far the cost
of ship is about 300 so you're getting a decent price on the couch but then probably with shipping
it might and and the storage or whatever it is for them to get it it might be about the same as if we
just find something in the past and not have to worry about shipping okay how's the trip going TJ
huh get started so you're feeling fresh come on let's go we did it well we kind of did it
we did a little something something so our goal here was to furnish our whole house and then
yesterday we're getting a little discouraged and then we came up with a game plan as long
as we leave go home with some both bedroom sets taken care of that would be like a win-win right
it's a win for us so we still have the rest of the house to furnish um I don't know if that's
gonna happen here but we'll see what are your thoughts so far oh mixed feelings um excited
excited we we picked out some really nice furniture for our new Oasis so
[Music] yesterday Kelly said we were discouraged we really were we came here with a budget so
that unrealistic expectation tainted my day our day yesterday because we're like wait a second
these things are costing way more than what we were planning on spending so you know yesterday
was just a rough day I'm not gonna lie to you but today once we got time to sit back and to
think about it it kind of makes sense now the quality of wood that we're getting and some of
the furniture that we looked at the first day it just wouldn't have lasted thoughts about all this
furniture shopping bed actually horrible horrible yes thank you coconut TJ got his fresh coconut
thank you TJ you're welcome now again we have mirrors down there you regret not getting any
all right so if you made it this far in the video we just realized that the trip in Guadalajara as
much as we bought some items to bring back you know we bought our bedroom set we bought mirrors
and other stuff like that um while we were there I'm gonna be honest and say it wasn't an exciting
trip we were not happy why was that we did not do enough research so after we got back which we
probably should have been done before we went we started doing our research we started going to the
furniture stores the prices that we were finding here in the furniture store was almost double the
cost as to purchasing it in um Guadalajara so another thing we learned to do better better
next time every store you go in if there's one thing at least one thing that you like and you're
not sure on it take a business card maybe take a note what you know the item is you know who you
spoke with and then take that home and then you can go online most likely they have information
if not you can WhatsApp these employees and they are very um responsive and they'll send
you everything you want to know and then in the video you recall we're talking about we were so
concerned about actually purchasing multiple items from small stores I wouldn't know how we'd get it
back because we didn't want to take everything back on the plane turns out that that was just
not an issue we were able to order mirrors from a company that would visit it physically but we
didn't purchase while we're there because we know how we're going to get it back but then we message
them on WhatsApp because we had their information we paid um over the phone and we should be able to
get the item in a few days from this video being made so I think a lot of the stuff that we were
most concerned about in the end were just not things that we should have been concerned about
2020 for had to do it again would be still go to Guadalajara I think it would go just
to be there because it's a cool place to visit although we wouldn't live there
um but as far as purchasing an item we can probably stay here and do the same thing
oh see I was gonna say I would go again or I would to do differently would have been
okay let's look more seriously at these small shops with all the little Decor all these like
um hand woven stuff like just unique stuff just really pretty or wood carvings or something that
we just brushed off because we are intimidated by the whole shipping how you would do it for
each individual place that's fair that's a good point yeah so thanks again for watching don't
