- Market: AlphaBay
- Vendor: BudStop
- Listing: "FREE SHIPPING! - Marijuana Sample Pack!!"
- Price: $19.99 with free shipping
- Shipping speed: The item was marked as shipped on November 19th, the day after I ordered it. However, the label was bought 3 days later on the 22nd. It arrived a full 11 days after being marked as shipped, the 30th. A lot of the slowness can be attributed to the holiday, etc. But I ordered it 6 business days ahead of Thanksgiving so it could arrive in time for my brother and I to smoke a few bowls when we saw each other over the holiday and the 2 days following. Had it actually shipped on the 19th, it would have arrived on time.
- Stealth: The products inside are in mylar, but are clearly labeled so anyone who opened it wouldn't have to open the mylar to know it was weed. However, the box was sealed in such a way that it would have been a pain in the ass to open, and an even bigger pain in the ass to reseal. No smell escaped, so there wasn't much reason for someone to open it anyway. I was satisfied with the stealth.
- Communication: I guess if you consider marking something as shipped to be communication, it was poor. He did send me a nice little note in the Seller Notes section...
- Description accuracy: For whatever reason, one of the three strains I was supposed to receive was packed inside a joint-a well-rolled one, I grant them-and placed inside a plastic tube. I cut the joint open (a waste, I know) and weighed it: 0.6 grams. I weighed the next strain: 0.6 grams. The last strain weighed 1 gram, so the order was a full 0.8 grams short. I wish I knew what strain was in the joint, but it wasn't labeled.
- Quality: First I'll say, the packaging was quite nice. It even came with a little business card with a "membership number" (whatever that's supposed to mean). Strain 1 is the mystery strain from the joint. Smells very piney, and is a dark green color. What I did get was obviously already ground up, but only a couple little pieces of stem. Looks good overall. Definitely sativa dominant, whatever it is. It was really dry so it didn't pack very well. Strain 2 is called Blue Demon. Smells nice, doesn't look very good though. very stemmy, sparsely packed nugs. Great head high. Fairly potent. Again, it was very dry and hard to pack. Strain 3 is Tangerine Dream. This was the best looking of the strains, and the best smelling. It also wasn't dry like the other two strains and packed quite well. The high was good, although I'm not a huge fan of indicas.
- Conclusion: Overall, I was disappointed. Short on weight. Slow to ship. Product is okay but nothing to write home about. However, I think I was the very last person to order this sample pack and it was right before Thanksgiving. And, frankly, it was only $20. At some point, I might give BudStop another chance, and I think you should give him a chance too. He has a few small listing of things like 1g, so it can't hurt too much to try him out.
