I guess the author blew the thread up before I got a chance for my reply to load, so I figured Id start my own thread because I feel a lot of important issues involving finalizing early were made....here was my reply.
Figured this was a good opportunity to make a forum account. BeansUSA is reshipper for CandyShop and while I think its great to have a vendor shipping his product to the US, there are a lot of policies that they are running with that make me reconsider placing an order. Requiring FE is the big one, and I imagine this is the case so they have the capital to keep his stock up. Otherwise they would have BTC tied up while product is shipped overseas that can take anywhere from 5-20+ days. Personally I feel when starting an enterprise like this you should have the bank roll to keep your supply up rather than going order to order, but thats my opinion. Second, they are only offering a 30% refund for lost/seized packages, most likely covering their costs for the wholesale price of their pills and not sharing the risk with the buyer. Other than that, BeansUSA appears to be a legit and caring vendor and is bringing some quality product to the US, but for me there are some options I need to weigh before making an order with them.
As for leaving low feedback after FEing, there really is nothing left for the buyer to do to protect themselves other than leaving a 1-3 and updating later once the product arrives, but that does nothing to protect from a potential scam in the future, which has been a popular trend on SR lately.
Flame me for my low post count if you wish, but I have been around for a few months and guesting on the forum for the same duration and have seen a lot of the good vendors go bad. This FE trend is close to setting a precedent that is bad for buyers because finalization is the only protection a buyer really has. Sure novice buyers may not know that and FE anyways, but if tapping into the full SR market is your goal as a vendor, you need to assume some risk also..

Mark my words, BeansUSA will turn scam. Using a popular vendors name to promote himself, asking for FE.
Will probably go scam around the Christmas/New Years rush for orders

What the fuck is this......... :S///
CandyShop is just a cover up...
First of... BeansUSA did not started out & ask me to reship my product... it is I that approached him !!!!!! after doing business with him for a year now!!!!
I never scammed anyone and my feedback speaks for myself..... And this is exactly what you can expect from BeansUSA ,.. you think I, Mr perfection when it comes to quality and customer care would just let some random seller use my name and sell ???
BeansUSA is legit and i already think he has more than proven that..
HE WONT TURN SCAM...

Scotland yard is a tweaker that has been calling out major vendors for "scamming." F16, and now Beans.
Beans is offering a courtesy service by reshipping for Candyshop, dealing in small amounts so that we(the customers) can have a reliable way to get quality presses. Shipping from the UK is great, most, if not ALL, have received their packs in a short, timely manner.
