So almost 2 months ago I was checking out BudEmporium's listings and noticed they were almost all FE so I ask him to set up a custom listing for a QP of wax with escrow. I even offer to pay a little extra too cuz I know most vendors who require FE never budge when you ask for escrow. To my surprise, he agreed and I placed my order for a QP of wax. Him allowing escrow should have been the first red flag but I just thought he was a trustworthy vendor since he's got so many reviews. Then he gives me a tracking number when his account says he doesn't give out tracking numbers. Second red flag. This package has been sitting in Chicago Customs since May 21st and hasn't updated since. My guess is that he sent out an empty pack to a fake address and gave me the tracking number so I would think my pack was on the way. I've never had anything sit in customs for more than a week. If it was intercepted, I would know by now. The tracking would say "undeliverable as addressed" or they would have sent me a love letter or done a CD by now. I checked MyUSPS, there are no packages addressed to me in their system. I disputed the order after 2 weeks just to keep my money in escrow. I still had some hope at the time since I'm on the East Coast and he ships from Western Canada so I told the mod I was just disputing to keep the money in escrow. Here's where it gets interesting. After waiting a month and a half, I give up and ask for a 50% refund. He keeps wanting to send a 50% reship but if he can't get it right the first time, why would I trust him to send a reship? I only have one drop and if my pack actually did get intercepted, another 2oz pack with my name on it would almost certainly get intercepted too. So I keep asking him for a refund every day for a week. I kept getting bullshit responses like "What's the order #?" or "How much money is in escrow?" Seriously?!?!? Why are you asking me for this information? He asked me what the Order # was twice. Twice. He keeps telling me refunds take 2-3 to be processed. No they fucking don't. The only other time I was ever refunded, the money was back in my AB wallet before I logged back in. So I decided to get the mods involved again. The mod then asks if the buyer (me) is okay with the 50% refund and I am cuz the price of BTC jumped like $200 since I ordered and I'm sick of dealing with this shit. Then BudEmporium jumps in and says just give him his $1000 refund. Are you fucking kidding me?!?!?! That's not even close to 50% anymore. I then tell the mod fuck that, I want 50% of the money in escrow and not just $1000. So in the end, I got my 50% refund which came close to $1400 so I only lost about $800 since shipping was $50 and I paid about $25 extra per coin. His most recent Neutral review said he was having the same problem. Don't fall for his bullshit. Order from anyone else.
His negative review count just jumped from 5 to 10 in a day so it's pretty much confirmed.
