Customer Service: Solid. I ordered Wednesday, shipped out Thursday. Messaged for tracking Sunday night around 10pm just in case, received it before 6am on Monday in his timezone. Didn't expect a response til 9.
Product Quality: Bud was still springy, fairly well cured. Trim job is a little meh. Buds are US quarter sized at the smallest, with some noticeably larger buds towards the middle of the pack. The 3 buds isolated in the pictures represent probably 65% of the pack, with the larger ones in the bowl making up the remainder.
Processing Speed: Self explanatory.
Price Value: Compared to the shit I was getting before (from offline connect), this is much better. Roughly $100 less by the pound, and with a noticeably punchier high. Decent enough looking that my boys are eager for their pickups. (Illegal state, so make of that what you will.)
Stealth & Opsec: Here's where some small issues pop up. The whole thing was mylar sealed (with packing tape lol), but only had a double vac seal, whereas I would've preferred a triple. The biggest issue however, if that the label was handwritten, which is why I took a point off 'low package profile' and 'OpSec'.
Now I know what you're gonna say, "Why order from a selective scammer who doxxed a user and has been banned from /r/DankNation?"
I wanted a review that was more comprehensive. Most reviews posted for this guy come off as shilly, with few or shit pictures, and very little real description of the product.
The doxxing was in the form on posting the tracking. I don't know the full story, however I do know that a similar situation happened in a separate community (/r/researchchemicals), however it was a very highly regarded vendor who posted a picture of someone's shipping confirmation with their entire address visible. This vendor was generally considered one of the highest standard vendors, and since then has made no (public) OpSec mistakes of any kind. My point? Mistakes happen, and I'm an idiot willing to take a risk for a good price.
People were defending his single vac layer by saying it was because people were ordering single ounces, and I was willing to put money up to see if they were correct or not.
Do not consider this review as the end all be all statement on this vendor. He still has made mistakes, his packaging is still subpar for low volume users, and he does have some labeling issues to iron out. When ordering on the darknet, there is an amount of risk management that needs to be done. If you feel that the price compensates for the risk of this vendor, I recommend him, and will likely continue to use him due to my own personal volume, in addition to other vendors. If you can't take a loss, or are ordering low volumes, I'd take a look at other available options.
horrible looking but for 65 or so an ounce i guess not bad deal
