After lurking the sub for fun for years (SR1 days), I made my first a little over purchase a week ago using, of all things, AlphaBay. I bought a sheet from SonicSubstances on Saturday, marked shipped last Monday, two days before AB went down. I know vendors often smudge their shipping times, so once AB went down and everyone was talking about not getting their stuff, I figured I was fucked and chalked it up as a loss.
Received the pack yesterday (Monday) in great shape, great stealth, marked priority - but postage showed it was sent out Friday. I don't mind the delayed shipping at all considering I didn't FE and Sonic sent the pack knowing the market had been down for two days and they most likely wouldn't receive their btc! Seems like a very genuine dude who knows how to build loyalty - he's moved to Hansa now and I definitely recommend him as someone who comes through on their deals. :)
Thanks Sonic! If AB wasn't using my leftover btc on one-way tickets I'd tip what I had left in the wallet.
