I sent him a message, maybe I will try. I told him no FE for me.


He messaged me back, he said no need to FE with him. Super Nice guy, he is currently almost out of his indoor, but will re up soon. Offer is almost too good to pass up

We talked to this guy. Sounds like he does NOT want anyone to FE.

Plus it would appear he put a bit of effort into his images. That tells me that he's here to stay... but you never know. :P

Don't FE, no fear! :)

Herojuana is one of the best I've smoked. I'm wondering if it's anything as nice looking as the photo... but his photos all seem legit. A customer of mine was excited to order from them, so I'll definitely give them a vendor-to-vendor high-five if my customers says they're legit.

So many scams in recent months, I can see peoples weariness with new vendors like myself and this guy^ I'm not asking for FE... and from what I understand, neither is Absolute. Good people DO exist, SR...

I placed a order last week and should arrive tomorrow or today...So far he's been good on coms and although I was being a little annoying he kept his cool and answered all my questions.  Buds look nice and the for price might as well give it a go and see what the deal is. He hasn't asked me to FE, actually throughout the whole pm's back and forth the words never came up. I'll keep this updated once it comes through and take some snap shots.

What strain/s will you be getting?

Post by: teqno on June 11, 2013, 10:14 am
Candy Jack and Fruity Thai I believe, wanted to grab some of that bubba and one other strain he had listed, can't remember at the moment,  but by the time the coins hit my account (A whole 8hrs-9hrs) the price went up on the bubba to $50 decided to just grab to 2 and give my left over coins to another vendor for their product.

But so far so good.. He got the order out the same day I believe and sent out first class which I don't mind, free shipping and priority wouldn't have mattered with the weekend.

For the price, it's not really a minus if it's on the level of mids or not a good batch..Just have to roll a bigger blunt. lol
He sounded pretty confident on the quality so we shall seee.

Post by: MC Haberdasher on June 11, 2013, 02:26 pm
Yeah, I made a stupid post.  I looked back at his page, and the FE's are for fucking samples.

Jesus.  My critical thinking is really shit right before bed.  I hope everyone's orders arrive safe and that the quality is mad nice.

Has anyone received anything from this seller yet? I put in a order early last week and was shipped shortly after, and at this point I have received all my other orders that I made at the same time. I messaged him yesterday about what shipping method he used, but while it has been read it has not been responded to. Also now all of his listings are down, so hopefully this isn't a sign of something bad.

Right he has no active listings. So just wondering if anyone has received from him, and if so what was the transit time frame? It was only 25$ and I didn't FE so I should be alright, I was just hoping to get my product (or I would have ordered elsewhere, giving new vendors a chance seems to be a big gamble anymore).

Post by: spiritguru123 on June 11, 2013, 08:14 pm
Well, I was one of the first orders for his free bubba sample.

After being market in transit for about 5 days and no package, I message him to inquire about the status of the package only to be informed it was never shipped despite being marked in transit  ???
Title: Re: theabsolutefinest new cannibus vendor with crazy low prices...
Post by: teqno on June 11, 2013, 08:24 pm
So sadly enough my order hasn't arrived yet. Maybe tomorrow? It's first after all, but funny thing another vendor sent me a first class order on Saturday and it came in today...This one went out last Friday, well I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens tomorrow. Will keep this posted as the days go by.

The guy could of closed his listings to catch up on orders? Who knows...?  I sent him a message and haven't heard back from him yet.

When did yours go out?

Doesn't look like he was off to a good start. I did in fact get a message from him once he shipped it out and thanked me for my business...Did you it get it though?

I'm going to give it till Thursday and if still nothing....I will have no choice but to put the wrath of god on his ass...I'm kidding...but caution will have to be considered if it doesn't show up by then..

Well I did receive a message back from him, but it wasn't as reassuring as I was hoping for. Here is the transcript:

Quote
Everything is fine, we were extremely backordered... I don't like to give the tracker out unless there is an issue but rest assured it is there. If you put in an order over the weekend it should be here this week. I can check tracking for you but I know it is not there yet, a lot of orders went out over saturday, sunday, monday and are still going out today. We apologize for the wait.

TAF

I responded back to him stating I ordered and was marked in transit on 6/5, and asked him to check the DCN for a delivery date. I have not had a domestic order take this long after being marked in transit (either priority, standard post, or by stamps) so unless he marked in transit and never shipped, I don't know what the issue could be. I am keeping an open mind but if I do not receive it by the end of the week I will have to ask for a cancellation.

EDIT:

He responded so I am going to put my message to him, and then his response up. Here is my last message to him:

Quote
Okay I was just wondering because you marked it in-transit on 6/5, so tomorrow it will have been a week of shipping time. I have just never had an order take this long after being marked as shipped (with either priority, standard post, or via stamps). I will give it some time though, if you get a chance please check to see when its going to arrive. Thanks!

This was his response:

So this doesn't give me as much hope, but we shall see. Keep the updates rolling in. Thanks everyone.

Sounds to me like he just blew you off, damn! I'm kidding but at least you got a reply..I'm haven't heard anything from the guy yet, burrrr!! It's starting to feel a little cold in here. LOL

Only thing we can do is to keep a cool head and be patient...

Ordered 7g from him on 6/06, he sent out the SAME night, and since this was domestic shipping... I was thrilled! Alas, it has still not arrived. We'll see... if it isn't here soon I guess I'll wait for refund and then go buy somewhere else  :-\
P.S: I'm used to 1-3 days domestic shipping (3 days if it's running REALLY late). Which is why I think it's odd.

Well it looks like they have seen our forum postings and messaged me in regards to that. Here is what they said:

freed0rn,
I noticed your posts in the forum but do not have 50+ posts and do not have the time to make them as I am still packing orders! I am not a scammer, but I'm sure simply my word will not suffice. Please be patient, your package will arrive this week. I am not asking you to FE or anything like that. Obviously our prices are good, many people took advantage of that and we were overwhelmed with orders and messages. If you could do me a favor and relay this message to the forum that would be great. Fear not people :)

TAF

I will keep this updated on both communication and photos of buds upon arrival (keeping an open mind, and hoping for them sooner rather than later).

I'm also waiting on an order from TAF. Mine was just marked in transit yesterday, so hopefully I will receive it within a reasonable amount of time. I'll also be back once I have any updates. I'm hoping for the best!

Day 5 (Day 4 in shipping days) So I am happy to say.....that it didn't show up today either..lol ugh! Starting to get a little irritated that there's been no word from him of any reassurance that it went out, should be here soon. I keep having these flash backs of my dealings with bitinstant a few months back.....ah there's the headache I was waiting for..

I don't feel as though he's trying to pull a scam as there was no word of FE in any of our conversations...It comes to communication with buyers who's orders hasn't come in yet. It's rare that USPS fucks up but it happens..Only happen to me 2 or 3 times throughout my whole life..Seeing that I'm not the only one is leading me to believe that the order didn't go out when he stated it. That's what concerns me.

Don't mind if I vent a little as this has become trend with some of the new vendors that popup....

To me, coms as a new vendor is very important especially when problems arise. Keeping constant communication with a buyer on whatever concerns they have whether the vendor thinks its a dumb question or not the buyer feels that it's important to ask. Reason is to keep them calm and feel reassured, to keep them from constantly coming back asking more questions to only annoy the vendor..Because being left in the dark about something that concerns you is highly frustrating and annoying. But probably the main reason to build trust, not with just that buyer but the community it's that one buyer who's going to be either extremely happy or extremely pissed off on how the situation was handled...In the end that one buyer will give the best advertisement of all, word of mouth. And yes, as buyers we are very demanding but that's the business you chose, no one said it'll be easy.

Post by: TheGhosst on June 12, 2013, 07:28 pm
As long as no one is Finalizing Early... we're all okay. Though, seeing the 'few' FE's he has makes me a tad nervous.... I currently have 5 QP's "in transit" from this guy, and another separate ounce to a separate address that was ordered prior. The single ounce would have went out on Monday, priority, and should be arriving at its intended destination today or tomorrow.

The other order, of the 5 qps, was Express. And should be arriving at its intended destination tomorrow or the next day.

Really hope these guys are legit though.... Their prices most certainly are not "too good to be true", but I will say they're lower than one would easily have faith in. I think he made mention that it's mostly greenhouse bud though, so the prices would make sense given the market here. I did ask him about my 5 qp order, and they responded saying there was a slight delay; asking me to clarify something on the address provided for that order. One of those things you think to yourself "Did they really just ask that? Why did they wait til I messaged them first to ask?"

I've been here a while(just not on the forums) and I will say this doesn't feel 100% right... I went with them because they talked a good game, and had decent/low pricing. Hoping to NOT have to use the resolution center for my FIRST time ever... blegh.

His explanation made sense to me. They got everything marked packed up and ready to go and then marked the orders in transit. It then took them longer than they thought to mail everything out (probably a combination of working out how to ship a lot correctly and more orders than expected). He said everything got shipped out by the weekend, so don't worry guys your stuff will be here this week and I bet from now on they will be more careful about when they mark things in transit ;)

You all just need to settle down. Nobody will pony up for a vendor account, be communicative, not ask for FE, and refuse to take customers that don't use encryption if they intend to just scam a bunch of people. Everything is good here, and all signs point to an excellent new vendor who got a little bit overwhelmed at the reaction to amazing prices.

Nobody "ponying up" here. I know better than to be impatient... Like I said, I will keep everyone up to date as my orders come in(or not). I've been in communications with the vendor through most of this; and throughout it I've been waiting for a "I need to you FE" message, but luckily, nothing of the sorts. He sounds like a nice guy... but so did so many others! Impatient I am not... but I'm also not naive. Seen it go down FAR too many times..

Hoping to hear some positive things about this vendor... the mystery is the killer.  ;D

True story! Unfortunately, with the way scams run on here... no positive feedback IS negative feedback. Until someone on the boards with even the slightest credibility says this guy is legit... we're all just like, staring at the clock, looking at the calender, watching the days left til auto-finalize fade, one at a time...

Just an update with communication so far. Here is the last message I sent (redacting personal info):

Quote
Okay I will post your response, no worries. I understand you are overwhelmed due to your pricing and I am sure you have had massive orders. At the same time you marked my order in transit a week ago today, so if you were being honest with transit times it should be here at max today, unless you tell me you did not ship it when you marked in transit (which would go against what you have on your vendor page). I am just looking for honesty, as that will go far to alleviating stress from orders not having shown up. I am keeping an open mind so don't think I am calling you out on anything, and have said as much on the forums. So depending on my (and others posting) experience, this will be very good publicity for you. Like I said in my previous message, if you can check the DCN for me and let me know when it should arrive that would be awesome. Thanks for keeping up good communication.

-freed0rn

and this is the message I received back (again removing personal info):

Quote
freed0rn,
Your order went out over the weekend. We literally had over 200 orders to pack. I checked some other members trackers last night and everything was fine. Please bear with us as a new vendor, our quality will surely floor you.

TAF

I am not sure why he was reluctant to check my specific DCN, but I was assured it would be here before next week (which would be the longest domestic shipping time I have encountered with any vendor), but as long as I still receive the goods I am happy. Will post updates as they come in, anyone else waiting for an order should do the same to help others cope with the waiting game.

TBH, that sounds pretty credible. I've seen it happen with other vendors, and I took baby-steps myself as a vendor for that reason. Too easy to get in over your head with a demand as high as this...

He likely just doesn't have the time to single out your specific Tracking # right now. Or, at least, I'm hoping. For your sake, my sake, and everyone else in this thread. :P

Just to relay the most current message, its obvious he is following the forum thread so he understands the anxiousness of customers. Here is the message I received:

freed0rn,
In reponse to your forum message, we are not reluctant to check it, its just that we don't want to check it from a TOR node and in order to do this we must do it from a separate location with a separate device, this is for security purposes.

TAF

This does make sense and am happy that he addressed it with me. I also agree with TheGhosst that the vendor seems to be credible in his reasoning, so just sitting back and waiting to be floored as well :)

He addressed me as well about my posts; assuring me that I will receive everything before the weekend. Tomorrow I'll likely receive the first ounce I orders priority over the weekend... and I'll likely also get the Lb and a quarter I ordered on Monday night tomorrow as well. Either way, if something shows up, and that something is heady as hell I'll be here faster than you can say "Where my money?"

Well I'm happy for you guys and while he has ADDRESSED you guys and made sure you are aware on your orders I'm sitting here with my dick in my hand on a order placed last friday I might add. But if you put yourself in my shoes and you were the one waiting on a response only to see it's been read but no reply and tell me you won't be complaining about the vendors coms, I highly doubt it. There is no one in the world who can sit there and be cool about being left in the dark when it involves them and especially when an illegal package is being mailed to your location.  But I'm not going to sweat him over it and I won't be a bitch about it..When and if it arrives I'll take a look , test it, finalize, and review accordingly on my experience with the vendor.

Feeling bitter? Yeah you can say that but I'm over it now.

Looked at his vendor page today and it looks like a few packages have arrived today for some people. I ordered early Saturday morning and it was marked "in transit" the same day, nothing YET. I am hoping today is the magic day... Crossing fingers

This would be the longest transit times I have encountered so far but I will admit that I have very few orders to compare to. Typical transit times for me so far is 2-3 business days, including Saturdays.

Strain: Sour Diesel

Shipping: 4/5 | This was the longest time it has taken for me to receive any order on SR (8 days of shipping time), but I was informed it did not go out right away due to overwhelming demand and therefore the real shipping modified my expectations of its arrival date.

Stealth: 5/5 | No smell which is the most important, although for future full price orders I would possibly perhaps doubling up with a visual barrier.

Communication: 5/5 | Great communication he answered my questions within a few hours at most, and generally much quicker. They even followed up with additional information after having seen my forum post. This vendor is someone who definitely has the customers interest in mind.

Product: 5/5 | This is fire stuff! Probably some of the best Sour Diesel I have seen on the SR (I have an affinity for this strain). I am including a photo (clearnet) below. Weighed on point as well, and for the price you cannot get better on SR or locally for that matter.

Overall: 5/5 | I have been floored, and I agree it is theabsolutefinest. Thanks!

Strain: Sour Diesel

Shipping: 4/5 | This was the longest time it has taken for me to receive any order on SR (8 days of shipping time), but I was informed it did not go out right away due to overwhelming demand and therefore the real shipping modified my expectations of its arrival date.

Thanks for the review, gives me a little bit confidence in the vendor. The vendor should try to get his/her post count up so they can respond directly if they want to be taken serious. Reviews should clear things up if there are complaints or reasonable criticisms.

Got mine today, was Fruity Thai

Shipping 5/5 - I would give them a 4 but due to hearing that they were overwhelmed and what not then I don't mind too much.

Stealth 5/5 - No leaks, good stealth not the greatest but very sufficient.

Communication 5/5 - I only sent the vendor one message but he was very quick to reply and was very helpful.

Product 5/5 - weight was on point, bud is beautiful, hairy, and dark.  Plus it smells dank as hell.  I've only smoked one bowl but I'm digging it already.

overall 5/5 - Great bud for a great price, I will be coming back to this vendor for sure.

Having orders 5 different QPs: Fruity Thai, Sour Diesel, Sour Flower, Platinum OG, and the Herojuana... I now have 2 of the 5 confirmed by others to be good stuff. This makes my testicles tingle for some reason, like... I'm about to blow a firey load.  :o  ;D       Not to mention the zip of Grapefruit I grabbed to... meant to grab a zip of the Candy Jack.... guess I'll wait til next time.

RE: Update.
Just wanted everyone to know I got my 7g order of Grapefruit after a long enduring 7 days of waiting :p.
Stealth: 4/5 Not the best I've ever seen compared to other vendors. Only one vac layer, could be more, but still I couldn't smell a thing until opening the layer.
Shipping: 4/5 7 days, longest time waiting for weed on the road before.
Quality: 5/5 Best stuff I've had hands down.
Communication: 5/5 Theabsolutefinest didn't let down on letting me know how everything was going with the few questions I asked.
His "special gift" was kind of funny.

Will probably do business with again if he keeps the same prices. :)

A little concern about this "one layer" of vac. Is it just a single food saver bag? or is it at least an industrial seal?  :-\

@theghosst - I'm not sure, but it definitely didn't smell until I cut it open. His stealth should be upgraded in the near future so this will be a non issue

Good to see some more positive reviews, seems like this is legit and he just got slammed with orders. I haven't emailed or harassed the poor guy, so I hope he/she understands my previous trepidation and I totally understand the shipping snafu. Hopefully the vendor has learned how to deal with being inundated with orders and there won't be a next time.
Good job theabsolutefinest, you will have a following if you keep your prices low and shipping gets worked out.

Post by: soudrugs on June 14, 2013, 12:02 am
He sent me a message after my earlier post where he commented on having learned a lot about how much business they can actually handle at once and will make sure not to mark in transit early in the future :D

Seven days and counting for me and he/she has not replied to my message/inquiry. Not exactly what I have come to expect from a vendor here on the road.

You're not alone. At least it's in escrow, and hedged.

We absolutely hate waiting, and I've informed the vendor that they need to be a little more honest and/or accurate with marking orders in transit before shipping. He said they need to pre-package orders next time, and as a vendor, I believe them. By the looks, their sales(finalized) have jumped from 10- 50 something in a day. That's a LOT. Probably because of the lowered introductory pricing. :P

I waited seven days and got zero communication. I sent a message inquiring about my order that was replied to the following day (today) and the vendor said my package was never shipped, fucking ridiculous, I don't care WHAT the reason. I canceled my order, hopefully THAT doesn't take seven days as well.
I understand that the vendor got slammed with orders BUT, that does NOT excuse them from not communicating with their customers and the reply I got was somewhat lackadaisical, I will NOT be a customer of this vendor if THAT is how they plan on doing business on the SR.
Buyer beware until the vendor can get their shit together.

 Vendor: theabsolutefinest
Strain: 3.5g of Fruity Thai for $26.

Communication (5/5): The only communication I had was me asking about my package when it took longer than expected to get here- theabsolutefinest was accomodating and replied within 5 minutes.

Shipping (4/5) - I don't remember what day it was marked in transit, but it did take about 2 days longer than I expected.  I understand he was a bit overwhelmed and he is new, so I can forgive it.

Stealth/Packaging (3.5/5)- No smell, but only 1 vac seal and no visual layer.  Not the worst, but I would like to see at least 2 vac seals and I always encourage the use of MBBs.

Product Appearance and Smell (5/5) - My Fruity Thai came in 2 nice, dense nugs.  Smells diesel-like, but when I cracked open the smaller nug, I knew precisely where it got the fruity name. Smells like a mix of berries.  These nugs are dark green with dark hairs and lots of trichs.

Product Effects (5/5): This shit hit me like a fucking train.  A hybrid with a nice, strong body high coupled with a head high that grabbed me and didn't let go.  Best of both worlds.  This stuff could be smoked in almost any situation and allow the smoker to function (barely :P) Very good stuff.

I canceled my order and got a prompt refund. I would wait until the vendor get's the kinks ironed out before taking the plunge but they are a legit business and definitely not a scammer.

I ordered a qp of platinum og. Actual shipping time was 3 days, but wasn't shipped until  3 days after in transit. Weight was right on at 113g. I'm very satisfied, this is great quality weed for a 700 qp. The weed has a great heavy high and is pretty potent. The high lasts long as well. Stealth was interesting and sufficient! I definitely hope for more 700 qps from TAF. I am a very satisfied customer that will definitely return.

After 7 months of being on SR I finally found a reason to get my account to 50 posts.

So I ordered a OZ of OG Platinum from TAF on Saturday the 8th in the morning, within hours it had been marked in transit. I live in the middle of the middle of the US so shipping should take 2-3 days max in my experience. I never messaged TAF or anything, I had read enough reviews and forum posts to decide that this guy was legit. So we get to the middle of the next week and everyday I'm expecting my package to come, but sadly it never does. So the next Saturday I sent TAF this message.

"Hi, I ordered an OZ of OG Platinum last Saturday, you marked in in transit last Saturday, and it still hasn't arrived yet. I would like the DCN tracking number so I can see where my order is."

He messages me back within a few hours saying that some orders had shipped out late, and that my order had shipped out yesterday (meaning Friday I think?) Also gives me a tracking number through privnote and told me not to check it from my house or phone. I know everybody has been talking about how his orders shipped late, but holy shit 6 days after you mark in transit and you couldn't let me know? That is just unacceptable in my opinion.

Anyway, that Monday I go to the library to check the tracking number. I type it in, press enter, and get taken to a page that says something like online not available, get a receipt after mailing or something similar to that. I think that's kinda weird, but whatever hopefully it'll be here tomorrow. So then the package doesn't come again Tuesday. I go to check the tracking number again and get the same thing! I know I had the right number because I made sure I triple checked that shit. So I go to the post office to see if maybe they can do or know something. When they check they tell me that a package with that tracking number hasn't been sent out at all. So when I get home I send TAF this message:

"So its been 2 business days since you gave me the tracking number, and both days when I've tried to track it the USPS site says that the package with that tracking number hasn't even been sent out. I have been patiently waiting for a week and a half for this and now I'm getting frustrated.
I would like you to double or triple check that you sent out my package, make sure you have the right tracking number, and give it to me. If there is a problem with any of those things then I would like a refund. Your prices are great and I've really been looking forward to smoking your weed, but this is just getting a little ridiculous for me now."

He messages me back in a few hours saying:
"It is out, you will definitely have it by the end of the week/weekend. Tracking is right. Please be patient!
TAF"

Took a full two weeks but it arrived here Friday.

I had gotten my 1.25 Lb order on Monday, and it was gone by the same time on Tuesday.

1/4 lb Sour Diesel -

Bag-Appeal: 4/5. Lime green, and super frosty. Little bit leafy, but make no mistake... it's mostly if not all sugar-trim. Imo, nothing wrong with that. Just doesn't look as pretty as others I've had/
Smell: 6/5 DAMN. I've had a lot of Sour, and Chem, OG, Headband, etc. And this is right up there with some of the skunkiest, chemiest I've had. VERY pungent. Awesome ECSD smell!
Taste: Super Soury/Sweet. Traditional ECSD taste... equal parts skunk and chem. Absolutely divine!
Effects: Soaring All-Day smoke. Sativa-lovers paradise. This was some of the zestiest, tastiest Sour D I've had in a minute!
Overall Rating:  9/10. Well done. Definitely top shelf... looks can be deceiving. :P

1/4 Sour Flower -

Bag-Appeal: Long hairy nugs, big banana kolas. Reddish hairs, and dark green buds. A bit on the leafy side, but again, sugar trim. Minimal compression, what you would expect from any top vendor.
Smell: Wow. This smells fucking incredible! SO pungent, fruity, like Strawberry-Lemonade or something. Very nice!
Taste: Smooth, sweet, floral taste with a fruity/spicy exhale.
Effects: Smashing Sativa Stone. Will have you spacing out for quite a while... Might be a good day smoke, but if you smoke too much this will amplify your procrastination. lol
Overall Rating: 10/10   I really love this stuff. Got one bud that was an 8.5 gram, 6 inch long kola... my girlfriend kept that one. Haven't seen it since she took it.  ::)

1/4 Platinum OG -

Bag-Appeal: Fat juicy round nugs. Dark jade green with medium brown hairs.
Smell: Like Shishkaberry, sort of traditional Afghani smell mixed with a sweeet-smoked smell.
Taste: Hashy, Afghani, subtle OG Kush back-taste. Very heavy kush taste.
Effects: HEAVY stone. WHAM. Puts me out...
Overall Rating: 10/10. Knocks me down.


1/4 Fruity Thai  -


Bag-Appeal: Awesome coloration, lots of purples and reds. Amber hairs.
Smell: SUPER fruity, almost smells like the strain "Cotton Candy", has that "dog shit" smell, where most strains have a "skunk" smell. lol
Taste: SWEET as HELL, with a spicy exhale. MMM
Effects: This is a well balanced high, definitely a 50/50 hybrid, or close to it.
Overall Rating: 8.5/10. I'm a purist. But this one tasted amazing.


1/4 Herojuana


Bag-Appeal:
Smell:
Taste:
Effects: ZZzzz Zzzz
Overall Rating:  :o

Everything was awesome!!! And slightly heavy. :)

Took 9 days total. Whatever...

 I just called it "Earthy" but dog shit works too..Actually that's right on the money. Smells like cow shit.


So after , shit how many days...I think it has been 11-12 days and it's safe to say FINALLY got here.  In the beginning of this thread I had a real problem with the lack of coms the vendor had on my shipment. Felt a little bitter matter in fact to see everyone else on this thread get a response but me, felt a little left out. :(

 Well this order was a real problem child, the vendor was quick to "In Transit" my order and even sent me a nice message " I hope you enjoy, I know you will" something like that and then they went dark on me for a week till I got another message apologizing that my order never went out. I was frustrated that there was never any coms and a week later to find out my order never went out??? I was pissed, but what's done is done and getting mad bitching about it won't really solve anything. Since I don't like to back out on orders (Agreements) that's already been made I asked to send it out and mentioned since this mistake has happened to kindly ship it out priority and hopefully to be comp'd for this whole headache that's been part on my side. The response I received was some what of a "I know you'll be pleased" OK.. LOL...So that's the ugly part and well the vendor is new and I don't think they expected the rush to be like what it was so all is forgiven, it's also safe to say we hugged it out and had some really great conversations....

 Now to the order, excited and patience already on low with this order, came in some what decent..Packaging could use some work but we talked about that extensively and mentioned on different methods of packaging. Upon opening the order a stick of smarties falls on the floor with the 2 orders I placed..But where's the "I know you'll be pleased" comp? It was the smarties.. LOL Although it was shipped first class and the smarties for my waiting 11 days for my order was a bit...well you know. They made it up to me with something else, thanks again! And I hope this all gets organized for your next sale. If you need to hire some women to work a line buck ass naked and spank them booties to get them hustling. :) Because no one likes to wait 11 days for their fix.

Someone once said to me, Locked doors keep Honest people Honest.

I think Escrow keeps Honest vendors Honest.  And in the case of TAF and myself, he took a huge hit when the packs got snagged, and I Finalized to 'help' him get more product for a re-ship.  The packages were legitimately snagged as a CD was attempted at the drop.  They did not press it.

TAF was honest and had some awesome product, all the way up until the shit hit the fan.  And after Finalizing, he didn't go "Nanana got your money bitch" ... He simply stopped responding.


We all panic, and if I've learned anything from Cult Madeline, and other similar life philosophies; it's that what goes around truly does come around.  I'm down $9,000.00. That more than cover's TAF's losses... and if he has any decency, he will find a way to pay me what is owed. 

For now, I'm going to call that a Loan. 

I've raised all my ratings back to 5's for the vendor, and I really wish him the best luck in vending HONESTLY, and STAYING IN ESCROW... and maybe one day when he realizes that I've done him a huge solid favor here, when he couldn't even grow the balls to tell me what the fuck is up -still hasn't.

Won't be long before we're out on the West Coast, and we're well on our way to recovery.

There are SOME really awesome, understanding people out there who know when to bite their tongues about the (albeit stupid) actions of others, and actually give them proper advice, and a helping hand. I would like to thank Christy Nugs and NorCal420HookUp for being my friends, and heroes! Love them folks...

I don't love the shitbags who jumped all over my thread, which was intended to inform people of what happened to avoid it happening to them -- not intended to be some sob story, crying about Finalizing.  I Finalized because TAF was going to take a big hit having lost my shit. I wanted him to know that the trust was there... and I suppose I can only blame myself.  That doesn't mean I deserve to lose 9,000 simply because I trusted someone I had done business with before. 

Hopefully everyone learns a lesson from this.  And I wish TAF the best of luck.
