A little background: I've been a user of dark markets since SR was first revealed to the masses on Gawker. Oh the happy days! DPR ran it better than any of the markets that have attempted since; the community came together against gun sales; Vendors like LexiSadie, Rook, 420med4u, tweetb and others were ALL great and legit. It was more than a place for a dealer to sell drugs outta - it was a community. Sure, there were those that came to try and make moneys/scam, but, they were few and far between and didn't ever make it to the top in reviews/ratings. I've always been a casual user of the darkmarkets. I moved to a new city in a conservative state and didn't make friendly good, so, it was a perfect fit when I discovered it. I could easily get my drug of choice - good ol marijuana - without having to deal with any locals. I get high daily, but, 1/8th a month was all I needed, and, SR was such a convenient option. And, I have had an excellent experience. The worst experience I had had until my most recent was when RoyalOil sent me BHO instead of buds, and, then fixed it and sent the buds as well (hats off to RO!) Now we get to my recent experience with Utopic... As I have stated, I only require a purchase occasionally. Well, one of the times I required it happened to coincide with the vendor whom had been my goto guy for a while happened to be taking a break, so, I came here to find a recommendation and there was a recommendation for Utopic. I did it, finalized early to get free shipping and received 3 strains (as requested) of excellent buds - just as advertised. Great! Shipping was slowest I had ever had, but, bud was great. So, I did it again...
This time was quite different! I received 2 strains when I had requested four, and, while what I ordered was advertised as AAA all buds, no shake, I received one bag of buds with no smell and another of shake/bottom of the bag shit with seeds in it. For those of you not familiar with Utopic's listings, he offers different tiers of weed AAA (all top tier buds no shake - what I received from my first order)or A (okay weed/beasters - possible shake and seeds. What those of us whom have grown to know/only use the good stuff consider only fit for maybe a batch of brownies). The A is clearly what I received. Now, I do admit, this all went down at the same time I was experiencing issues with my SO, so, I left some poor feedback. At first I left a 3/5 giving him a slight benefit of the doubt - I hadn't tried it yet and maybe he'll get back to me and fix it quick. Then I tried it and confirmed that it was not smokable by my standards. Discovering this along with my other stress from the past few days had him a quick 0/5. So, >24 hours I hear back from Utopic accusing me of an attempt at feedback hostage or whatever the fuck that is and telling me he will get my account banned. Now, feedback hostage? I realize some people probably try this, but, to accuse someone of this without taking the time to ask any questions about the circumstance is BS. WTF? When you order something on ebay or amazon and it turns out to not look like what you were told first (3/5), then found to be considerably lower quality (0/5) do they accuse you of feedback hostage? Do they contact admins and get your feedback taken down? Maybe, but, you know what you do then... You go to Reddit, on some relevant sub, or some other relevant site to what you're reviewing and share/warn others.
Good day.
