Bungee losing its credibility

Alright guys, there has been some talks lately about the current status of the B54 team.

They have admitted to suspicious activity that caused a delay in heir sales, effective august 7-15 roughly. B54 says there were 0 problems with this occurence, but people in the UK have reported local news regarding a drug smuggling bust. These posts on their forums have been deleted.

Beginning with orders placed a month prior to that, certain packages have not been showing up. On their forums, the posts are deleted. I have noticed that it has been primarily new buyers, and with smaller weight in this situation.

Some of these people have been denied a reship due to a small number of previous sales with the B54 team.

Bungee54 has been aught lying to its customers in support tickets, saying that all packages in certain date ranges had gone through (prior to their shipping delay), and used this to deny their customers reship.

Those people who were effected by their facility being compromised, were only offered a 50% reship as per their guidelines, even though the orders were never sent out.

Just because a group has historically done well, does not mean they will always do good works for the community. Building a brand around the best customer support and their trustworthiness (always emphasized by staff), is the great way to earn the trust of a community where nobody trusts each other.

I am not saying that B54 /is/ scamming its customers, but I am calling them out on lying to them and hiding behind their brand name to not be held accountable for a surprising number of packages not being delivered.

Edit for clarification: I do NOT think that the Bungee Team is scamming its customers. My current theory is that when they experienced their "delays" hey had a raid, and lost a portion of their product if nothing else.

This would explain 1) orders going out a month previously not showing up. Had they been intercepted it would have helped pin point the location of the facilities. 2) why some members are getting a 50% refund or no refund at all. Quite simply, they dont have the product to end out. 3) Why things appear to be moving fine now. B54 has had time to recoup from their losses and have at least partially reupped on their inventory.

Again, this is my own opinion based off of posts I have seen here on reddit, posts I know to be deleted from Bungee's forums, personal experience, etc.

       hello everybody, 

although we have been observing the current discussion about us on this forum, we kept quiet as we think DM issues should stay in the shades. But this post clearly is outrageous.

Yes, we had to undertake measurements to maintain ours and our customers security and yes several days of delays were caused by that.

But the issues have been fully solved. If you look at our feedback on all markets, you will see that the delayed orders have been coming in and people are getting their products - reships are not required. BECAUSE EVERY ORDER HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR AND GOT SENT!

The recent delays have also been reported by other vendors. Simple fact: Mail tends to get slower during the summer months, in EU as well as US.

To get a few things that were said before, straight:

Sorry, for the exhausting rant but some things needed to be address directly

We will not chime in on this discussion again, if any legit buyer needs our assistance – you all know where to find us.

Be smart & stay safe Your Bungee54 Team

Wanted to throw my two cents in..

Bungee was my very first order on Agora and it went smooth as a baby's bottom. Ordered 10g and it was over weight by about half a gram.

Look at my review for more details or feel free to ask me any questions.

If Bungee really is unreliable now, I thank my lucky stars that my first order went through with no problems. Would have been devastating because 10g is a big order to me.
