It's a bit difficult to express how great this vendor is, and how much I love dealing with him/her, without it sounding like a fake/planted review, or like I'm some sort of crazy stalker. Well, OK, I'll cop to being a little crazy (maybe more than a little at times) but I'm not delusional or obsessed with this person. We've never met IRL and I have absolutely no idea who he/she is.
I've been around DNMs since SR1 and have dealt with many vendors (a lot more DNMs and vendors than I wish it was, since my ideal number would be 0- but hey, it is what it is). So I think I have a pretty good basis for comparison. I've seen good vendors, bad vendors, assholes, and some genuinely nice people- the kind where you wonder about their life, why are they on a DNM, etc. The kind of person you imagine would be a great friend in real life.
And then there's TRLT- who's in a category all his own. Not only is the transaction part of dealing with him flawless- the BEST stealth I have ever seen, quick shipping, prompt responses, extras, etc. etc. But there is a personal touch as well. Simply put- this is a good human being, who puts good energy out into the world. Sure, I know, it's the anonymous Darknet, people are fakes and liars etc. etc. I'm not naïve. But I have dealt with many vendors, and with TRLT many times. Enough to say, this is the real deal- a special person, someone who I care about (in my own anonymous way) and wish good things for.
But you don't have to take my word for it. Read the hundreds of glowing reviews on the DNMs. And what other vendor has a tip jar?? Maybe others do, but I've never seen one- or even thought of the concept. But TRLT absolutely deserves it. Not just for being the best vendor I've ever dealt with, but for being a good person- someone who spreads joy and love in the world- and NOT just from his products!
Can someone grab me my jacket? It's getting shilly in here.
