The general rating of vendors between the big 3 seems to be 9/10 Sosa. 8.5/10 TLS and 8/10 PandaExpress (Actually don't remember if TLS or Panda came second). But it appears that regardless, Sosa is always at the top of the list.
As far as pure numbers go, a 9/10 isn't far off from 8.5/10, but is his gear very noticeably better then the rest? Or is it better, but only slightly?
I recall an old thread (not too old) where the OP was apparently testing the quality of various vendors H, and Sosa came in at 87% (give or take), which sounds amazing. However never testing any vendors H before, I have no idea how 87% compares to the rest. If the rest were in the 40's/50's, then that sounds pretty significant, but if the rest were low 80's, then 87% doesn't sound leagues better.
Also, how is Sosa's quality as far as consistency goes? I made a buy from BestMan365 the other day (put a review up), and I mentioned in the review that BM365 is very hit or miss. He's had some great quality, but he's definitely had some very bad quality. His consistency is all over the board, so I am hoping Sosa (or any vendor) at least stays in the same range of quality at all times, even if that range isn't necessarily the absolute best.
Appreciate the info in advance, and sorry if this question is beating a dead horse!
EDIT: While I'm on the topic of Sosa, how is his shipping speed? Or better yet, is he one of those vendors who ships when it's marked shipped, or does he take his time?
Not to hijack your thread here but is Alex vending again? I haven't been able to find him on any markets for over a week now. If so, can you tell me what market? Thanks.
