I ordered 100g from him a few months ago just before Nucleus went down. I contacted him about three weeks later on Alphabay and he said to wait a few weeks as some orders come through late and that he'd refund me if I got a love letter from customs and that he could only reship if I'd had 5+ orders with him... I never received either and I would have definitely received a letter from customs by now (UK).
I think it's pretty obvious these big time vendors do this so they can keep they're customers at a manageable level by keeping new customers away rather than letting it get out of hand, and so they can make a instant $500. Oh well...
I'd suggest avoiding big vendors and try and find a new smaller vendor if you're buying abroad, especially in bulk, or even better - stay domestic and FE when possible, even if it costs a a little extra!
"FE when possible"
You mean use Escrow even when it cost more oherwise this isn't good Advice at the End.
