Personal notice so far but maybe you've noticed as well. The vendors who sell basically every drug (weed, cocaine, opiates, etc) have the worst shipping times (ie. PFM, HM, etc). They take 1-2 weeks before even shipping out.
Specialized vendors (only dealing in 1 drug) usually ship out immediately. Is it because most of these mega vendors have grown to big to accommodate or know they can get away with being so lazy?
Big time vendors seem to come through with quality product, it just takes a very long time. Its almost not worth dealing with unless you love long lead times.
Am I alone in this experience, every time I choose from a vendors with large amounts of feedback + tons of product does this, while the small time vendors are quick and prompt.
It depends on how many people the mega vendors have working for them as well as how well they delegate tasks, just like any other business.
QualityMeds was a pretty big-time vendor on SR1 (processed approximately 80 orders a day I think) that specialized in pharmaceuticals but had everything from tramadol, alprazolam, clonazepam, zolpidem, and many others.
His process was streamlined so his shipping was always very fast. I guess it is easier to separate blister packs than measure out stamps of heroin or bags of cocaine though.
I like mid-sized vendors best. Ones that (ostensibly) take security very seriously and also provide good customer service. The greatest reason I like them though is because there isn't as much heat on them from LE. Not that they are immune, but I feel like a vendor that sells cocaine, heroin, MDMA, etc. is a bigger target than one that just sells pills and weed, or something.
