UPDATE: He packaged and shipped it after I opened a dispute. The product came, and it's 50% cut. It's easy to figure out how much cut there is, because he used a cut that doesn't dissolve in water. Every time I cook up the tar, there's a bunch of black, sand-like gunk on the bottom. I am updating my dispute to indicate that I only owe him for 1 gram, because I'll be damned if I'm paying for a bag of sand.
I will not be ordering from him again.
Hi there,
Background:
DNM (reasonably) veteran here. I recently placed an order with a BlackBank vendor called dubiouz, that was never shipped. Vendor has claimed the order has been shipped 4 separate times. (marked it shipped, then said it just shipped in various messages).
I had previously ordered from him once. He fucked that order up too, by mailing 1 gram when I paid for 2, but he fixed it quickly and was responsive.
Current situation:
After extending the auto-finalize timer twice, I disputed the order. He swears it's been resent. If he put it out when he said he did, it should have been here today, and big surprise it wasn't!
When I disputed the order, in order to make sure this get the attention it needs, I left negative feedback, saying the same thing I'm saying to you now. If the vendor fixes this, I will delete or update this poste. If you can still read this, then you need to consider dubiouz a potential scammer, or selective scammer at best. I strongly recommend you do not order anything, and whatever you do, do not FE, no matter how responsive, reassuring and promising the vendor may be.
Finally, he claimed to be under investigation by LE for an unrelated scam. I personally wouldn't go near a vendor in that situation. Just because they didn't charge him with a crime doesn't mean their not waching him still shudder.
BONUS: Here are some the (verbatim) messages and excuses sent by the vendor. I think this helps to illustrate that it's amateur hour with Dubiouz right now:
- So somebody was passing bad checks in my name and LE was investigating and so I was not comfortable dispatching while LE is up in my business. It will go out today. Sorry for the delay.
- (3 days later) I've been getting several complaints recently about missing orders. It turns out this chick that slept over stole a few packages, including yours. I sent out a replacement today with something extra for the delay. This week has been complete shit to me. I'm sorry it affected you as well. This kind of delay is very rare.. again just a shitty week for me.
- (In response to my opening a dispute, after the 3rd time he claimed to have shipped it) dubiouz Apr 21, 15 - 11:01: FYI, If you read my shipping policy it clearly states that I offer no gauntness (sic) of delivery date, only that I will make my best efforts and I even state that delays like this do and will happen occaisionally(sic). I apologized, I sent a new package, I was going to credit you for shipping, but you already took the nuclear option, making negative comments that are absolutely untrue and you are making me lose potential buyers and fucking up my reputation by having this LIE up before I even get a chance to mediate the issue. Not cool, not mature, and very offensive and deliberately attempting to to kill my livelihood.
Fuck that guy, he did some similar shit to me, and basically used the same excuses with an order I had with him. He's sketchy as fuck, and when I called him out on it he turned into a total lunatic and basically went off on a crazed tirade. I'd stay far away from him.
