Don't order from Fasterndsaffer.

Lots of his packs not showing. He keeps coming up with excuses about why there are delays but simple fact of the matter is many of his packs have not been showing and he hasn't explained why. This is a warning to anyone who is thinking about ordering from him. Wait until the dust settles and the verdict is in or not because right now it's either he's messy and disorganized or selectively scamming.

How did you get CSS on your name?

I was one of the very first to not receive my packs in a timely manner from F&S, but finally did 18 days after ordering and 2 "reships"... I'm unsure as to whether he's scamming or not, he eventually provided me tracking on the reship that did eventually make it, and everything was fine. But I have been watching his feedback for 3 weeks now, and about 15-25% of his orders have taken 10+ days. I want to place an order as he stocks something that's been impossible for me to find elsewhere, but with his shipping delays I'm hesitant.

Or maybe LE/USPIP confiscated his package(s)? This can lead to delays and confusion. Either way, you're right.

This is really unfortunate because last week he was awesome with a bulk order worth 4.8 BTC. He helped me personalize, stayed in communication every day (ordered tuesday and package arrived friday), and on the arrival date he even sent me the tracking number so I could stay up to date as he did. I am sorry this is happening, not sure why a vendor of his magnitude would be selectively scamming people.

I like everyone else did not receive my stuff and then was promised that re-ships occurred and they did not. I do not know if he selectively scams and if he does, it is a new thing (he seemed to be a legitimate vendor at one point). If I had to bet, he had some issue and he bought himself some time claiming it was a shipping problem and he might now be trying to get some of the packages out. All he needed to do was say "look, I have an issue but these will get sent out by x). He did something similar to this but did not send the products by day x. Even if he said he needed a couple of weeks (and did it by that date), I am sure he would have retained a lot of his clients and he would not be facing the backlash on these boards or on the sites.

Same here have used him before with no problem but my last larger order (1BTC) never showed. Followed his rules and PMed on 7th day, 8th day 9th day etc. I got one message that "It'll be there tomorrow" Tomorrow never came, and kept PMing everyday after. Finally got a 2nd response that he would re-ship, but that was a week 1/2 ago and nothing still Don't believe that 2 shipments were lost somehow. No tracking #s or anything, coming up on day 29 since initial order was placed.

UPDATE: he says "it was delivered gave you the tracking" but neither of those statements are true

Guys, there is a forum thread on Dream discussing fasterndsaffer's scamming. I have asked the mod to disallow this scammer from FEing or to be kicked off all together. Please comment on that thread and let's make sure this guy does not get away with our money without losing business. Same thing on the other sites- I am commenting on all that I use. he fucked over enough people that they cannot ignore it so long as we all do our part.

My only experience with this vendor was my first and ongoing purchase. If you could call it that. I never FE for a first dealing with someone (and only FE fairly trusted sellers once they mark as shipped), so i haven't technically been scammed yet... I placed an 80 dollar order (no FE) 21 days ago, and an order from a diff vendor, at the same time (first time buying from that guy too). Keep in mind i had zero history on Abraxis because i usually used nucleus, so i was an unknown to both of them as well. 2 days after placing the order, fasterndsaffer had still yet to accept the order. Kind of a red flag i have come to understand. Honestly, if possible it's prob best to cancel while you still have control of your BTC and move on to someone else.
So the order gets accepted right around the time he reported his shipping problem. In fact, here is his exact profile page post where he mentions it before he changed it (don't know if anyone else noticed that):

"important our shipper used outdated postages we checking what made what didn't everything will be reshipped if it didn't make it we are not running anywhere and we just found out about this situation please bear with us we will make it right like we always do sorry again F$S"

That's when i really noticed the atrocious grammar and barely intelligible sentences. And then i saw he's only been vending on Abraxis for 2 months..? I must have made a mistake... but at least he had 200-500 transactions and nearly a 5/5 rating, so i thought it should be an ok bet. But not so in this case.. After 5 days i contacted him and after another day or so he said he needed my shipping info again. No further contact from him for a while... but i would occasionally read his ever changing profile page and plummeting feedback. Sent several different concerned messages to Support (with no reply), and after 9 days i contacted him again, asking what was up and he replied:

"
didnt i provided u with tracking nN brefore

/ " By that time, his profile page had morphed again, a sale to make up for missing packages had come and gone (yeah, while you wait for that package i never sent you to arrive, why don't you enjoy a discount on another product i probably won't ship you - be sure to FE though!), and i contacted Support again.
So i ask the seller for proof - for him to give me the tracking info. Days later he did say the package was at my local PO. Well, he said this: "its show it in your local area PO ready for delivery i say tomorrow thank u F$S "

And that was about 4 days ago. I initiated the 'report scam' process, but i don't know what to expect. I haven't heard from anyone at Abraxis this whole time either. At least there's a record of me trying to communicate and give the seller the benefit of the doubt. For WAY too long.
Oh, and if you're still with me, remember that other order i made the same night? That arrived in 3 days. That's what i'm used to. Sometimes 5 days. And if there's a problem, you should hear about it directly from the vendor.

My opinion is this guy is a short-term selective scammer. I mean, just 2 months at Abraxis remember. I've been expecting my order for almost half that time, and all i've experienced is terrible or nonexistent communication, and absolutely nothing delivered. maybe he's just hoping i forget about it so the funds auto-finalize. I have been cruising the DnMs fairly often over the the past 7 months - dozens of purchases from different markets - through evo and black bank, to agora. I guess i've been lucky, but never had anything worse than a late or weak product. This is new to me. And honestly, i knew it was a bad call right at the start - i was just too late to cancel. I'll update here if anything good comes out of the ordeal. BUT STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR

Are you guyz working with the moderators on the sites? They are responding to his thefts and may shut/slow him down, so hit them up.
