PlatinumStandard [agora] scamming?

I just want some opinions from reddit on this...

Ordered from PS about a month ago. Waited 2 weeks without getting my package.

Contacted PS, he didn't want to give a refund or tracking info. I really wanted to be able to order from him, so didn't dispute. He offered to compensate a little if I ever ordered from him again.

I thought about it, then decided to try again (yeah, maybe I'm an idiot). Placed a second order, now over a week and haven't recieved it.

Orders never take over a week, so I'm assuming the simplest explanation: package was never sent.

I've started the resolution process. At this point I just want a refund (or the tracking to prove that it was at least sent).

Just wondering if the community has any thoughts on this. Is PlatinumStandard known to selective scam? Either way, 0/2 success rate is pretty bad.

I'll probably update this post with any relavent information as it becomes available.

EDIT: started the dispute process. Same response from vendor. Not willing to provide proof of shipping.

EDIT: ALL GOOD Package came very, very late. I think there must have been an issue with USPS, because I've never received a package this late from a domestic shipper. I think this was my first missing package, so I don't think I was scammed. I've only recieved 1 out of the 2 orders, and the 2nd order was placed over a week ago, so there's a chance that both packages don't come in. But it's not as bad as I initially thought.

I've purchased from him many times without any issues just placed a couple orders recently as well will let you know what happens, which I'm sure it will be fine. I'm sure there's just some sort of mix up!

Best of luck!

If you have an issue with an order, especially an order not arriving, dispute the order. If the vendor is fucking you over you don't want to order from them again anyway, so dispute and if they're a honorable vendor they'll figure out the issue and make it right.

Thanks for posting this. I've ordered from Platinum many times and have not experienced an issue yet normally I get everything in 3-4 days on the east coast. I was just about to order some more, but I guess I'll wait to see what happens with yours and /u/syremo orders.

considering you ordered and did not receive once... youd be a prime target for selective scamming to order again not having disputed.

why not dispute it? you being part of the problem if he does selective scam but not reporting it.

do you really want to do business with someone who would selectively scam and or black list you if not worse?
