So, after over 2 years on the road I finally had to send a transaction into resolution. Buh-bye perfect buyer stats :(
Anyways, I dun know what's going on with this vendor, but I think it's time to let people know to tread carefully.
On Mon., Aug. 19 I ordered the 2.5g pack of MDMA from High Voltage: http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/e92c338983
I've never done business with this vendor before, but they're 300+/5.0. My criteria for choosing this vendor was the fact that the first line of their profile reads "We ship within 24 hrs".
The old lady had her birthday on the following weekend and I had gotten us some tickets for a local festival, hoping for a nice roll-and-fuck to celebrate the next Saturday.
Lo and behold, by Wednesday-night the order was still processing, and some guy posted in the vendor discussion that he had cancelled his order after it was sitting in "Processing" for 5 days. So on Wednesday-night I PM the vendor asking why my order isn't processed and if they thought they can still make it until Saturday. The order is domestic and where I live everything gets to in one day no matter from where you ship within the country. (In retrospect that was stupid, should have hoped it will expire and cancelled it).
Within 30 minutes I get a one-line response promising they'd ship it the next day ..... and this is the last I have heard.
Weekend plans utterly destroyed obviously.
The following week I sent very polite PMs asking for the status on Monday and Tuesday, those are still sitting in there unread, however, someone is logging into the vendor account every day - obviously just not bothering to even read my PMs. Also, there is an increasing number of people on the vendor discussion page reporting pretty much the same thing. I think it's 6 individual people not getting their shit so far. No shipment, no answers to PMs, nuthin' .... coincidence? This all reminds me a whole lot of the SuperTrips situation a year back or so.
Anyways, the vendor is still getting 2 to 3 5/5 feedbacks on a daily basis, however, they are all from +1/+1/+1 buyers, whereas some of the guys saying nothing's arrived in the discussion are +10 and +100 respectively.
So, finally, after 2 years around, I had to send my first transaction into resolution.
I seem to be predestined for this shit, as I have had similar situations with Juergen2001, Sesampino and SuperTrips. I'm starting to wonder if the road is really the best way to cover for small recreational use. This type of shit is happening way too often.
Anyways, just thought I let people know. In light of the recent crackdowns in Germany this is just another vendor to think twice before ordering...

Very sorry, but this is probably my fault, whenever I try a new vendor I get some BS problems ;)
I have a delivery expected for today or tomorrow, which I (foolishly) hope will turn up..
I was waiting a few days for dispatch, but he conveniently marked as in-transit a few hours before I could cancel, so I'll just have to wait and see.
He put up a note explaining he was very busy and could not send all of the packages on time, but that doesn't really explain the no-shows for domestic, they should all arrive pretty quickly I would assume.
The fact that some of the new reviews are from people with $10+ spent gives me some hope, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
For must-have-something events I usually order small amounts from 2 vendors, as even the most reliable vendors have problems (or disappear completely! - CharlieAndMolly)
Best of luck in resolution, hopefully you will get 100% or a re-ship if it turns out there are many unhappy customers.

update:
It's in resolution and resolution is set to expire in about 24 hrs. So far, my PMs from 8 days and 9 days ago are still unread. I posted 3 times in the resolution case but he/they simply ignore that too, so, no response whatsoever.
Only thing changed is that he/they have posted a one-liner on their profile saying "oh hai, sowwy was busy"..... grrrrrreat.....
Worst experience on the road in 2 years. For some reason I totally wouldn't be surprised if they came into resolution like 30 minutes before it expires claiming they have remedied or whatever, wait and see, for some reason I'm totally expecting that...
