Just thought id post a message here to discourage anyone that may be contemplating buying from La Fuente
I placed an order for an oz of his 'Premium Sativa' 4 days ago now
4 days later, he has neither accepted or rejected my order, nor have I heard a single word from him
To describe his service as pathetic is actually a compliment - I mean, referring to it as pathetic at least implies that I had some service - but I haven't... not a scrap!
And I know he's been online, because some of the information in his listings has changed
Basically my coins that were sent to him to pay for the transaction have been locked up for the past 4 days, with me being powerless to do anything about it. I am able to cancel my order in around 7 hours, to receive a refund. But still, this really inst acceptable. Because the transaction was 'hedged' I will automatically lose 5% of my money and due to the bitcoin rate constantly fluctuating, I am never going to get the same amount back that I sent, after 4 days have passed
After I placed my order i headed over here to have a look around and I read lots of discouraging stuff about him, which was worrying.... not sending out packages, total ignorance and failure to reply to messages, selective scamming, arrogance, basically a real asshole to order/have ordered from
From reading his listings he seemed to be a reasonably well educated, nice kinda guy, which is why I ordered from him
4 days later and it seems that all the bad stuff about him that is floating around here, is true to fact
Anyone that is contemplating ordering from him, I would steer well clear

Hello there Imperialised.
Whilst I appreciate you are cross, if you read La Fuente's vendor page it says:
"*******May 10th**********
Hey Everyone,
We're a little behind schedule on orders and messages but will get everything caught up next week. Today is Mother's Day. It's the third holiday we've had this month and general sentiments this time of year are of festivities and family.
Saludos,
LF"
I have ordered from La Fuente and his product, communications and packaging were all A1. I am sure he will conclude your order to your satisfaction given time, as his reputation is excellent. Give him a little more time!
-
OP - check yourself before you wreck yourself ;))))))))))
-
Maybe you are right, but I did forget to mention that, after my order, he altered the listing to state that he no longer shipped to my country... or at least I think he did. I mean, his listing states this:
"This item does not ship to Scotland or England."
and a few lines down:
"This item does not ship to Australia.
Buyers in Canada and the UK: Please allow one week for your order(s) to be shipped."
Also, I can't seem to find the thread that I was referring to, with all the negativity about him, but it was pretty bad
And even if he does have a backlog... 4 full days to process it and still not so much as a word? No man, Far too much time imo. Theres no way he has THAT much of a backlog. That, combined with the misleading listings, lots of bad rep as a scammer and selective cheat in the forum is just too much for me and, even considering your point, I would still recommend people stay clear of him
-
Your conclusion does seem somewhat hasty. His feedback speaks for itself. Bear in mind his product is respected and is the cheapest on the site, which will naturally have its detractors.
I don't understand why you would order from a vendor who stated they no longer delivered to your country. If that is the case I expect he may not get round to you first. Still, I'd be very surprised if he did not resolve this eventually.

has been a vendor for 6 months

I Looked him over a few days ago and passed just because of his rules regarding new buyers. If I'm not mistaken, he either requires FE if you have fewer than five purchases under your belt, or he won't sell to you at all. Besides, if I want cheap Mexican brick weed, there's enough of that crap floating around here anyway. The weed that floats around here SUCKS, even the stuff they charge $125.00 a quarter for.
I've never bought from LaFuente and most likely won't. I got a bad vibe just looking over his seller page. That's nothing against him, just saying I wasn't comfortable placing an order there myself. And I think he ships from Mexico. No thanks!

AL, please re-read my post. He changed the listing to state that it was no longer delivered to my country, after I ordered. But still, even then, as detailed above, he left contradicting information in his listing to say that it was still available to my country
His rep has taken an absolute hammering around here, ive read TONS of bad stuff about him. Heres a few as a very quick and small example of a few:
Man the forum threads are starting to sound like EVERYONE thinks you're a scammer, la fuente!
Using a private courier, lying about the country he's shipping from, and at best selective scamming... This vendor fucked his own reputation. Fuck La Fuente.
Just cancelled my order as it took so long processing it allowed me to cancel. Not sure about this seller.
Too many people have FE, at least 20+ in the last few days.
selective scamming & lying about geographical location (and needlessly upcharging Ozzies lol)
lying about shipping methods or countries.
La Fuente sucks
i ordered an oz a good few days ago now and it's just sitting as processing
Good Luck to all you trusting people out there.
I sincerely hope you don't get fucked over.
That's just a few that i have quickly grabbed.... as I say, there are TONS more

Good grief. I had absolutely no idea. Sorry for the misunderstanding, too. It sounds like a mess overall.
I do hope everything is cleared up. The community is marvellous when it works well and scamming is a miserable thing for any of us to hear of.
-
I was looking at his feedback score yesterday and it was listed at 57%, anyone else notice this?
Now it's at 93%, which I usually think is low, but he is in the top 3% of vendors based on the volume of orders I'm guessing?
Sorry bout your troubles OP.

That was probably just a glitch a glitch on the system, Trennbar. His stats are around 93
To be honest this particular thing with Fuente for me isn't a great problem or worry. I have approximately 1 more hour to wait, until I can click the 'cancel' button and get nearly all of my coins back (minus 5% and a little due to coin fluctuation, which im not really too fussed about)
And I would actually prefer that at the moment, than the other possibility of him having replied to me, saying he was going to send the order and then me having to wait weeks, worrying whether the package was going to arrive or not and in fact, whether it had even been sent or not. The only shipping option at the time of my purchase, was non tracked and I was required by his policy to FE... so really not a good spot for me to be in, considering his current reputation around here
I'm just glad it wasn't a massive purchase and to be honest, like i say, I am glad that this has happened and that he hasn't accepted my order and that very soon I will have chance to cancel it, suffer a minimal loss and place another order with a much safer and more reputable vendor
It is a shame because his prices are literally the best on SR, no-one else comes near him. Maybe some people are and will continue to be happy with him. But I know many certainly are not and I would never place an order with him again, thats for sure

CCC, maybe if you would care to open up your eyes and read the actual content of this thread, you would see that the point you are making in your extremely cleverass post there, has already been seen, pointed out and covered
The guy is running a business. He has active listings and people are buying from them and sending him their money each and every day. If he has any backlog problems , then he should remove his listings, until he has them sorted and then continue to sell. If he cared in any way whatsoever for his customers and their peace of mind, he would do this
Obviously, from the many people that are seriously pissed off with him, he doesnt give a shit about his customers... He lies, cheats, steals, takes far to long to do anything, holds onto peoples money for long peiods of time, without a word of apology or reason, totally ignores various peoples numerous worried messages, asking where their 'lost' packages are
He's a horrible vendor
If you dont think so - go order from him big boy - I dare you!
-
You should check out the UK Cannabis Buyers thread in the rumour mill. A lot of UK orders from LF had gone awry with various outcomes.
Think you'll find the main discussion from page 60 onwards ;) Pretty sure at least one buyer got a customs letter, some others got after a very long wait whilst others gave up all hope.
Hope you get it sorted!
-
Thanks Doc, like I say - it isnt a big problem for me - 1 hour and it will be finished with, with only a minimal loss. But for others, as you have noticed, it hasnt been such a lucky escape
-

Yeah, that's what I was guessing. Although I always do a forum check on vendors just as an extra precaution even if they have stellar feedback.
-
oh crap. is this the general attitude towards la fuente? I was actually hoping to buy quite a bit of his large quantity listings because they're so cheap, and because he has pretty darnn good feedback....
-
Well, the matter for me is now resolved. I immediately cancelled my order when the option became available. I lost around £5/£6...nothing to cry about
Personally QB, I would never order from him again and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to do so either, but the information is all here and around the forum for you to make up your own mind
Maybe you get lucky with him, maybe you dont, but pot luck is nowhere near acceptable IMO, regardless of how good the prices are. And if you dont hit lucky, it's likely that any and all messages would fall on deaf ears and an unresponsive La Fuente

the fuck, we already understand that you haven't liked the idea that he haven't market your order has shipped on the 4 normal days.
We understand to that because he is taking a bit longer to ship it, YOU prefer to cancel it and lose some money, instead of waiting.

How nice for you, you understood 2 of the points from the whole topic
Now, I could possibly spend about 20 mins detailing and explaining to you all of the points in the topic that you clearly DIDNT understand
But actually, I probably wont bother

Oh, I hadn't realized you understood why this thread was so stupid, since you claim what I've said has already been covered etc.
You ordered from La fuente on may 10th, the same day he admitted to everything you are complaining about accompanied by an explanation for when he will resolve said issues. You have no reason to complain. Who cares what you think he should have done. Maybe he doesn't care for people who don't read his profile/listings before they make a purchase. He has made it very clear that he is behind and until next week all complaints similar to this thread should be considered unwarranted and stupid.
Like you've already said, he has the best prices on Silk Road and probably won't be matched for quite sometime. Can you imagine the volume of orders someone with the best weed prices on SR gets? If I were him I'd probably leave my listings open too and catch up the following week when I had time.
Learn to read before making a purchase, then you will have a much smoother silk road experience. Don't just bash someone's reputation because you are ignorant lol.

I think these karma score counters are a pretty handy little thing around here. I cant wait to see your score after you've had another few days or so to run your arrogant mouth off :)
-
Well, I actually don't give 2 shits about karma and never have for any community I've been apart of. I never really understood why one would care about such a meaningless thing.
Regardless though, I think you should peer on over to your karma score and check it out for yourself. I really don't think you are in a position to speak 'arrogantly' on behalf of karma, lOl.
..Hmm, seems arrogant is a more fitting description of yourself than I huh?
-
You dont strike me as the kind of person that fits in as 'part of a community'. Probably more likely an annoying, loud-mouthed little idiot that just wanders around forums trying to piss people off because hes got such a sad little life that he has nothing else better to do
Just took a look at our previous posts and it seems that there is some credence to what I just said:
yourm0m does drugs
lksdjflksflksjdfsdlfsd
lskdjfdslksdjf
gotta spam
diggity diggity diggity
dem drugs dem drugs
Man, what an AMAZING credit and worthy addition you are to this community! Haha hmmmmmm or maybe, as I thought, NOT
Also now I know why you decided to come and stick your ugly head into this thread:
La Fuente looks to be pretty good. I'm making an order from there once I've got 5 transactions completed.
Haha. I cant wait to see the review you post from your experience with him
I'm sure the tune your whistling for him at the moment will have a much different melody to it when you've actually dealt with him :)
Please update!
In fact dont, I couldn't care less
-
He's one of the biggest vendors on SR so it excuses his bad communication. It's the price you pay for the significant monetary savings you make compared with any other vendor. It took 23 days to get to UK for me. I've noticed that my messages haven't even been read but it arrived safe and sound.
Brilliant service, bad communication. Weigh up the costs before you order.
-
Maybe you received a brilliant service sharon, but take a look around the forums. There are many, many extremely unhappy customers of his that haven't been as lucky
Blatantly ignoring numerous messages from customers that have sent him lots of money and their packages haven't arrived
How would you feel if you was in that position?
Would you still have the same attitude regarding his poor communication being totally acceptable then? I seriously doubt it
What good is it if a vendor is offering things at good prices if its a 50/50 chance whether you will actually get it or not and a 100% guarantee that he wont ever reply if you do have any problems?
You're trying to tell me thats an acceptable service because his prices are low? Get real
-
I just took a quick look at Fuentes profile
Heres a feedback hes recently received:
"Refunded after waiting FOUR MONTHS. Lied about shipping date 3 times. His prices are amazing but I've always been told "If it's too good to be true, than it probably is"
If you order from him and it comes through, I suggest you go out and buy a lottery ticket that same day.
The very first refund on my account, and he's given me two of them, THANKS LF"
Obviously that was a negative review, but even this next one, which is strangely a 5/5 positive review, sounds terrible:
"My 3rd order from LF, arrived perfectly. Took 29 (working+non-working) days, better than expected. My last order took over 40 days to arrive; I was a little bit surprised to find my weed in the mail box today."
Fuente is going nowhere, FAST
It wont be long until he can't give his products away for free. You simply cannot run a business like he does

Like I said I was in this exact position. My messages were never read by LF to this day but my product got here in 3 weeks. His communication is shit so if that's most important to you then maybe don't order from him. But his service is legit when you consider the 1000's of positive feedback on his profile. He is a man of his word. As long as you didn't FE then you're safe by escrow.
-
7 days ago i made a order from LF. Will update if it arrives ;)

I have to strongly disagree. We are dealing in an extremely precarious place here as it is and to totally eradicate all possible peace of mind that can be gotten from communication is quite remarkable. I cannot see how blatantly ignoring all messages from your customers, in a place like this of all places, is acceptable. Quite simply - it isnt
I guarantee that Fuente will not be able to trade for much longer, unless he sharpens up his act. He cannot and will not continue to trade if he continues to treat his customers the way he does. His reputation will continue to get slammed, his feedback score will continue to drop, the people that have had bad experiences with him will never go back, the ever increasing amount of new members arriving at SR will only see his bad reviews and negative feedback and will not go near him
This isnt an opinion or prediction, it is logic and common sense and will without doubt happen
-
7 days ago i made a order from LF. Will update if it arrives ;)
Good luck, you're going to need it
The thing is, even if it arrives, would you really feel comfortable in trying to order from him on a regular basis?
I mean, I personally, am trying to find a vendor that I can trust, that I can regularly buy copious amounts of weed from, to sell on in my town
With Fuente thats purely an impossibility. If someone (maybe like you) just wants to spin the dice for a 1 time steal of a certain product for a cheap price, and isnt too bothered about the real danger of never receiving the product and never being able to ask the guy about it, then maybe theres a small part of me that could understand that
But anything else is just never going to happen
-
well.. that's a good question. what i dont like in LF is his lack of communication, and the time to the order arrive. usually, its like 7-15 days to E.U. LF has recent feedbacks saying that it taked 20days to arrive.. not so mutch. the stealth, usually his feedbacks dont complain about it. LF is not a guy that i would buy all my weed.. but i wanted to try it, low prices and it seems good weed, so i'm here trying it :)

Haha I'm looking to do the opposite! That is, buy copious amounts of weed locally then selling it on The Road. That just seems more lucrative and less risky to me. ;)
Have you looked into Farmer Bob? I've not done business with him, but I am considering it. He's got the border weed at a good price and seems like a good bet to me.
-
wow good job i came across this before i ordered. i was just deciding between him and another vendor. This has totally discouraged me.
thanks for the heads up.

Ive just checks out F.Bob's profile... he hasnt got any active listings and his last feedback was 2/3 months ago
How long have you been considering doing business with him for? :)

Im glad the information in the post helped you, that is the reason why I made this thread. Dont get me wrong, I am not accusing Fuente of being an out and out scammer - he clearly isnt that. A selective sammer? Maybe. But even so, many of the major negatives about him and the service that he provides, that are detailed in this thread, are all true and I think people need to know about them, before (like I did) they make a purchase and find out the hard way
Luckily I got out of the deal relatively unscathed, but I know many people havent been so lucky and if I would have known before I placed the order, what I now know about him, I would never have tried to do business with him in the first place
Hopefully this thread presents useful information about Fuente, that any possible customers of his can take into consideration before they send him their money
-
I got an ounce from LF and it took 2 weeks to USA very dank tree for the price. Sell the 55$USD ounce as shake gets you blown and you can sell for good profit.
anyone tried his new 100$USD ounce?
-
Since he states in his listings, that all his weed is pressed and basically ruined before shipment, I never fancied his weed at all
His new 'premium' listing did appeal to me as he stated that this weed would not be pressed an that nice, fluffy buds would be received
But as explained in this thread, ordering and receiving it is somewhat of a problem and difficulty due to the nature of Fuentes attitude towards and total lack of respect for his customers
Basically, its like a roll of the dice and that for me, is far from good enough
-
Ive just been browsing the official review thread for Fuente and its seems that things are exactly, or in fact, worse that I thought
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=102616.180
I think the dream is over mate, I can't remember the last time anyone actually received something, I recently took the refund, it fucked my stats but wasn't prepared to let this one finalize, asked for 100% and that's what I got. Gutted really, would have loved to have tried some of his gear after hearing stories from those who got theirs but it was always a long shot from Mexico.
Well,where do I begin hmm. I ordered a qp from la fuente on the 1st of march and he marked in in transit on the 14th! Ive been messaging him the whole entire month and not 1 response. I opted for an extension,and bam,he responds to that but not my messages. So about a week ago I ask for a refund for my resolution and typed if you cant even show me my tracking number after a month,I want a fucking refund. He pops up that day and says oh your order was shipped in the 27th and on the 1st of april!!! It took him a fucking month before he even sent out my package! Can you fucking believe it? He probably sent me a magazine with new tracking numbers to shut me up. This guy really is fuckin pissing me off now,and again,wont respond to a damn thing. If sr staff knows about this,will they give me a refund? Not even shiping a product after 1 month??? I would want double my fucking order for the inconvenience,and la fuente acts really cool about this. Doesnt matter my 4oo bucks has been in limbo for a fucking month plus,and have been checking the mail every day. The one tracking number says preparing to dispatch still and the other doesnt even show valid yet. This guy is a fucking asshole people,sorry for more bad news. So hes not shipping out peoples shit for sometimes not even a month! Even when he marked it in transit,that was already 2 weeks late! Im putting in a new resolution.
The guys an ignorant, piss-taking, lying, asshole... pure and simple
-
takes 1 week to USA dank tree if you grind it into shake and roll up joints
-
You are one of the pricks making his vending life hard. People like you disgust me. You want drugs and you get them, yet you scam poor guys like LF. I ordered 7 times from him, each order took its time but it arrived in the end. He even did two reships on a 125g order. I bugged him a bit to hand me out the tracking numbers and I got them so I could see that he sent those packages for real.
It wasn't his fault, the package just got seized.
Be happy that LF gives you a reply within a week. Things need time and what he is doing is a monsterous logistic task. I respect him for doing it and doing it so cheap.
Anyways OP go fuck yourself and leave that poor vendor alone. Hopefully he blacklists you

You must be patient with our Mexican vendor. If you want it cheap and you can wait up to a month for Mexican Post then LF is a good choice. If you want it fast, you must source locally. Of course that would cost more. You must be patient. He even stated that he would be be available. Make certain to read the vendor page before you close out the cart! 8)

We have a new addition to the team - and he's here to answer all your questions and queries (in a timely manner.) Give a warm welcome to Aurelio - he'll be online to answer messages for several hours each day, 4 days a week.
Apparently Aurelio is taking a while to learn the ropes in his new job - I've been waiting 14 days for a reply/tracking number now lmao! I didn't FE, because I'm not a an idiot, so I'm not really sweating it, but it would just be nice to know what's happening, ya know? I ordered 1/4kilo x2 for the 420 special, so it was a month ago now - but even if he only sent it like a week ago that's fine, I just wanna know. I think part of the delay might be because a lot of his packages to the UK got snatched by customs, so he's had to rethink his shipping methods before sending anything here.
I get that with prices that low, he's probably not got a great deal of manpower but I think everyone would be happy to pay an extra 10% if it meant it shipping/replying to messages was faster.

Wait a while, keep it in the resolution center. I did that for 4 month with one order. On the longtermed sight you will recieve your order. Just bug him from time to time and make senseful message titles if you pm him.
That should do the job.
-
Yeah like I said, I knew it was gonna take a while and I didn't FE so I'm not chimping out, I really don't get the impression he's a scammer at all. He accepted my first request of an extension so I don't see why he wouldn't this time. If it's gonna be another month, then it's gonna be another month and I'm alright to wait, it would just be nice to know. I titled all of my messages "TRACKING" (I've sent 3 in the last 2 weeks) but none have even been read yet. Kind of strange and makes me wonder what's happening but worst case scenario is I get my money back and have wasted some time, which is a risk worth taking for 20oz for £250!

Damn, I missed that 420 offer, I had to pay the double for my half kilo in the end. Yet the margins are insane so I guess its worth the risk aswell. I think the worst case scenario is a 50% refund, if you are fair, if not a 100% refund after you insisted on getting it from the SR Support.
So basically all you can lose is some time and maybe, or maybe not 125£
-
Ah yeah if he proves he sent it and it gets seized then the most likely outcome is 50% refund. I've got a good feeling it's gonna get through customs though - my guess is they seized one of his packages by chance and then checked similar looking packaging, which is why a lot got intercepted like 4-6 weeks ago so he's gonna have change up or something like that. Here's hoping.
No sympathy with OP to be honest, should have known that he takes his time.

He actually changed his packaging, but just slightly. Don't worry it will come through. Anyways I am out for now. Good luck waiting :)

You are one of the pricks making his vending life hard. People like you disgust me. You want drugs and you get them, yet you scam poor guys like LF. I ordered 7 times from him, each order took its time but it arrived in the end. He even did two reships on a 125g order. I bugged him a bit to hand me out the tracking numbers and I got them so I could see that he sent those packages for real.
It wasn't his fault, the package just got seized.
Be happy that LF gives you a reply within a week. Things need time and what he is doing is a monsterous logistic task. I respect him for doing it and doing it so cheap.
Anyways OP go fuck yourself and leave that poor vendor alone. Hopefully he blacklists you
Aggressive and abusive on an anonymous forum. You must have some real big balls. How many people you spoke to like that in real life? My guess is a big chunky zero. Probably just the thought of it would make your ass twitch. Ha
I wouldn't normally say anything else to a zero like you, but since you accused me of scamming him, I feel compelled to state that ive never scammed anybody on the road, including La Fuente, nor do I intend to. Conversation over
Back on topic - Fuentes feedback ratio is now down to 89.7%
Time for a re-cap
I guarantee that Fuente will not be able to trade for much longer, unless he sharpens up his act. He cannot and will not continue to trade if he continues to treat his customers the way he does. His reputation will continue to get slammed, his feedback score will continue to drop, the people that have had bad experiences with him will never go back, the ever increasing amount of new members arriving at SR will only see his bad reviews and negative feedback and will not go near him
This isnt an opinion or prediction, it is logic and common sense and will without doubt happen
-
He'll still have plenty of people willing to buy from him as long as he continues to offer these prices. He had a rating of 91 or something when I first came across him, I did some research and figured his ratings are low because he takes a long time to ship and reply to messages, which I'm more than happy to put up with for those prices. I don't see any reason why others won't continue to do this.
-
Thanks for the info!
-
Any one know what happen to La Fuente, placed an order a on Saturday and sent a message, still no word. Is this normal for him? Also, any ever get weed shipped to east coast USA from him, how long does it take? Ever have a problem with custom's to USA?

Alright the chosen words might have been wrong but the meaning behind that, without the aggressive/abusive words is still the same. People like you, complaining around, make those vendors life hard. IMO Silkroad should offer the possibility to increase the escrow time for deliveries like that (2 month or so maybe).
Anyways, there were certain people in my real life to which I sadly had to talk like this aswell, otherwise they would not have understood the matter, I think you get me in that way.
To the topic, yes his reputation will be drained, but only because of the reasons I stated before aswell. People are inpatient and do not accept the missing customer service, which is quite understandable if you consider his discount prices.
-
I disagree with all of your points
People like you, complaining around, make those vendors life hard.
Totally wrong - he makes life hard for himself with his non existent customer service and unacceptable ignorance
yes his reputation will be drained, but only because of the reasons I stated before aswell.
Totally wrong - his reputation is being drained because his service is shit that is the only reason. There are many large vendors on SR and their customer service is fine, because they are professional and respectful of their customers
People are inpatient and do not accept the missing customer service, which is quite understandable if you consider his discount prices.
Totally wrong - his service is totally unacceptable, regardless of his prices. As above, here are many large vendors on SR and their customer service is fine, because they are professional and respectful of their customers
Fuente is ignorant, disrespectful, unappreciative, he constantly lies about having sent packages (visible in many posts around the forum and in his SR feedback), he lies about having tracking numbers, he is one of the worst sellers on SR, plain and simple
You think im wrong, Fuente is a good, trustworthy, respectable seller? Watch his feedback - its falling rapidly and will continue to do so
Now, ive had enough of repeating myself and arguing the same point with every Tom, Dick and Harry, so I aint doing it anymore
All the information and even proposed outcome has been presented, more than once
Now lets just sit back and watch
-
Just thought id post a message here to discourage anyone that may be contemplating buying from La Fuente
I placed an order for an oz of his 'Premium Sativa' 4 days ago now
4 days later, he has neither accepted or rejected my order, nor have I heard a single word from him
To describe his service as pathetic is actually a compliment - I mean, referring to it as pathetic at least implies that I had some service - but I haven't... not a scrap!
And I know he's been online, because some of the information in his listings has changed
Basically my coins that were sent to him to pay for the transaction have been locked up for the past 4 days, with me being powerless to do anything about it. I am able to cancel my order in around 7 hours, to receive a refund. But still, this really inst acceptable. Because the transaction was 'hedged' I will automatically lose 5% of my money and due to the bitcoin rate constantly fluctuating, I am never going to get the same amount back that I sent, after 4 days have passed
After I placed my order i headed over here to have a look around and I read lots of discouraging stuff about him, which was worrying.... not sending out packages, total ignorance and failure to reply to messages, selective scamming, arrogance, basically a real asshole to order/have ordered from
From reading his listings he seemed to be a reasonably well educated, nice kinda guy, which is why I ordered from him
4 days later and it seems that all the bad stuff about him that is floating around here, is true to fact
Anyone that is contemplating ordering from him, I would steer well clear
He has a 90 of 100 success rate when it comes to making people happy. People that don't understand this, and that he selectively ships, are gonna have a bad time. mmkay.

Hmm, well I can only speak in good words from him, after bugging him I got my tracking numbers, even of the lost packages and they were all sent in time. If you want I will provide you a few screenshots.
-

Completely agree. It would be nice if he wasn't so erratic with his timescales and such - it is undeniably frustrating that I've been waiting over 2 weeks for a tracking number (my heart breaks each morning I wake up and "messages: 0" but I'm willing to tolerate that for the prices. He probably knows that people will keep coming back no matter what as long as he's this cheap, too.
-
Just came here to say that i have already received my order from La Fuente. It was my first order with him. 3 weeks to E.U. Should start using mylar, but it is a cheap order.
-
Was it part of the 4/20 offer?
-
I´m starting to think Lafuente is a selective scammer too. No reply to my message in 10 days, ordered 125gr weed around 25th april. Now I have postponed the order for sativa weed because I don´t think he shipped my orders. A shame cause I got my first oz but I guess u live and learn. I´m from Denmark, Europe btw. when I received an oz it got here not signed for within a month
-
Was it part of the 4/20 offer?
nop :)

OP is a dumbass.
La Fuente:

ranked in the top 3% of sellers with 92.6% positive feedback from more than 300 transactions

Hey Everyone,
We're a little behind schedule on orders and messages but will get everything caught up next week. Today is Mother's Day. It's the third holiday we've had this month and general sentiments this time of year are of festivities and family.

CCC, maybe if you would care to open up your eyes and read the actual content of this thread, you would see that the point you are making in your extremely cleverass post there, has already been seen, pointed out and covered
The guy is running a business. He has active listings and people are buying from them and sending him their money each and every day. If he has any backlog problems , then he should remove his listings, until he has them sorted and then continue to sell. If he cared in any way whatsoever for his customers and their peace of mind, he would do this
Obviously, from the many people that are seriously pissed off with him, he doesnt give a shit about his customers... He lies, cheats, steals, takes far to long to do anything, holds onto peoples money for long peiods of time, without a word of apology or reason, totally ignores various peoples numerous worried messages, asking where their 'lost' packages are
He's a horrible vendor
If you dont think so - go order from him big boy - I dare you!
Oh, I hadn't realized you understood why this thread was so stupid, since you claim what I've said has already been covered etc.
You ordered from La fuente on may 10th, the same day he admitted to everything you are complaining about accompanied by an explanation for when he will resolve said issues. You have no reason to complain. Who cares what you think he should have done. Maybe he doesn't care for people who don't read his profile/listings before they make a purchase. He has made it very clear that he is behind and until next week all complaints similar to this thread should be considered unwarranted and stupid.
Like you've already said, he has the best prices on Silk Road and probably won't be matched for quite sometime. Can you imagine the volume of orders someone with the best weed prices on SR gets? If I were him I'd probably leave my listings open too and catch up the following week when I had time.
Learn to read before making a purchase, then you will have a much smoother silk road experience. Don't just bash someone's reputation because you are ignorant lol.
The problem is not people not knowing how to read, it is the fact that this is the typical kind of story from La F that is left on his vendor's page as an excuse time after time. I understand that a lot of new buyers are naturally predisposed to wanting to give a vendor the benefit of the doubt. But in La F's case would appear unwarranted as excuses seem to come when the issue of orders not arriving is brought up on the forum, testing one's inclination to believe them. It is common knowledge that La F is no longer the man to go to for coke, so easy up a tad with defending his honour.
I've decided to finally weigh in (very carefully) after following this for a while and warn people that there are serious problems with orders successfully arriving, and they are not being intercepted. Specifically I am referring to coke orders, not weed, which godness420 seems to have successfully received recently. Smaller orders have got through, however the larger orders have so far not, and at this stage it would be wise to not put in an order with La F.

Hi all,
I ordered twice at his shop and evt. got every order entirely.
C= I had to wait approx 1,5 wks until dispatch. Then waited 15 days until I put the order into RC. It got extended. He served me a load of crap as an excuse. I made fun out of him. He shipped express with tracking to "make it up". I got my stuff, which was good, but not outstanding. It was cut with something hydrophobic resulting in a clogged nose. And I waited 35 days.
Weed= 4 parcels were shipped in total, two parcels, were shipped to the UK, where I don't reside. He reshipped them to my drop, providing tracking.
Especially for the C order I was convinced he tried to scam me. He just waits that you "FE before autofinalization". His page is full of that feedback.
After I finally got everything, I don't remember how long that took, I was relieved not having to deal with his vending anymore. And I really felt bad for everyone who FE'd, during his 420 sale for instance.
I never felt he was reliable. He contradicted himself exposing himself as a liar, stating he was a one man operation (don't remember where, though), while PMing his packer fucked up.
I believe there is more to it than just bad service. I don't know his sales volumes, but I guess other vendors handle those without raising that much suspicion to the community.
Cheers.

La Fuente is A SHIT VENDOR with SHIT SERVICE and before he could put a " ROCK STAR " fucking to me on my order,
I went to customer support after a week of being in processing and demanded my order back in which I lost 15$ upon refund.
This guy is a joke and makes DPR AND SR look like a half baked operation.
GET THA FUCK OUTTA HERE Le Fuckenta,this isn't a hobby club you dumb fuck.
TOLD YOU I would be back to stick the knife in you.

Great post Raz, I thank-you for reaching out to this thread with common sense. All tracking proves is 'something' has been 'sent' from 'somewhere', it could be 'anything' going to 'anywhere' within it's destination country. As far as I'm aware the destination address can not be viewed online when a package is tracked via a tracking number, only it's destination country. When the tracked item (whether it be parcel or letter) reaches it's destination country, it goes through the process of customs clearance, then regional and local sorting offices respectably before arriving at it's final destination. It's possible LF has not sent coke or weed at all, rather a dud package with the right street and postal/zip code, but (and here's the stinger) providing a door number that doesn't exist, deceiving his customers and giving them the impression their orders have been dispatched, when in fact, nothing has been sent to them at all. Of course, this theory will never be proved or debunked as nobody will be prepared to disclose their tracking numbers with good and obvious reason, however with the amount of no shows, I can't help wonder if this has been the case, ever since the reports of LF's 'lost orders' first surfaced, which have been consistently happening for many months, but more prolifically since he decided to exclusively list bulk quantities of coke and weed, I guess we'll never know. I encourage everyone who has an outstanding order presently with LF, and has missed the deadline for arrival by a significant amount of time, to submit a resolution to the resolution center. You really are the "MAD mike " so many rage on that post. you better jack off
and btw. "I went to customer support after a week of being in processing "
wat?
goodness420 it's okay for you, you've received your order, furthermore you're the only person who has received in months, consider yourself the 'lucky one'. Mad Mike has every right to vent, I'm sure you'd be venting here too if you were part of the vast majority who are still waiting for their order. Mad Mike is well within his right to cancel his order after a week, SilkRoad gives a four day window for an order to be marked 'in transit', if the vendor fails to meet this time frame, the buyer can make a request to the resolution center for a full refund. No matter how busy a vendor is, four days is more than enough time to process, pack, and post an order (the top 5% vendors I've ordered from have marked my order 'in transit' in under forty eight hours). If the vendor fails to meet this time frame, the vendor should inform the buyer, that's something called common courtesy, a practice any business that's worth it's salt employs. I've gathered from reading the feedback on this review page and the feedback on his vendor's page, common courtesy is something that's very UNcommon with LF, in fact he's very discourteous towards his customers and treats them in a way that is simply unacceptable for a professional vendor. Is this the kind of vendor who should vending on SilkRoad? In my honest opinion...
¡¡¡No!!!
-
I thought he completely screwed me, but 3 months later i get a sketchy flat post letter that had been resealed with customs tape. Customs notice was weird though and the folded card stock inside that had been re-taped didn't seem big enough to fit an O. I Fe'ed since it was my literal first transaction :-[ so no money returned, not a single message opened. Ive had plenty of perfect purchases since, including shipments from the same country of origin and other international orders.

Probably scam

Avoid him. Don't be stupid like me.

He finally got his shit together as the latest feedback suggest, looks encouraging:
WARNING ** POLICE ** DEA ** SCAM ** FRAUD
Took money, sent police to the shipping address.
Care to explain?

Wow brilliant logic here. Too bad he didn't put his username and a link to thread next to the feedback, for me dumbass to understand who wrote this and why. Also when it says "sent police to shipping address" it sounds like Fuente did deliberately tip off the police.
Anyhow, all in all very ballsy post here godness420. You got me shivering in fear. Is it comfy behind your screen? Awesome how you served madmike earlier on as well. I'm sure you lick balls of each hero member, though. From what I understand (which is little, you're right), I'm still 100% positive you do have a penis matching to the size of your temper. Fuck is this unfair, why can't I be as awesome as you?
Is there any intel Fuente is tipping of the police? Did I miss something? To me it just looks as if customs intercepted the parcel. Which is bad enough for this poor soul, obviously.
Edit: -1 ? I made a point, as it seems.

I thought he completely screwed me, but 3 months later i get a sketchy flat post letter that had been resealed with customs tape. Customs notice was weird though and the folded card stock inside that had been re-taped didn't seem big enough to fit an O. I Fe'ed since it was my literal first transaction :-[ so no money returned, not a single message opened. Ive had plenty of perfect purchases since, including shipments from the same country of origin and other international orders.
This is exactly what happened to me as well, word for word, more or less.

You thought he completely screwed you, but then he actually did.
He invests time in making decoys instead of vending. Your choice of words suggests that you were thinking, it might have been the actual sending. What feedback did you leave? Lemme guess 5/5 seized by customs, better luck next time.
If you look at my review above I had two envelopes of four missing. Actually, now that I remember, he stated he sent two in one, This one didn't show. It was the first one sent. So what?
First one goes missing, that's bad, oh here is one, and here another one. This must have been bad luck, as I got those, sorry I doubted you Fuente.
Except I asked him to reship in split parcels, as it never arrived in my country, which he did. Again, what a hero!
Investing time in bogus custom intercepted parcels + carefully and meticulously playing mindtricks, this one is a vicious fucker "supposedly"
Unfortunately the mail he sent me to justify why he didn't ship my C (1-2 days before autofinalizing) got flushed.
You guys remember his feedback page? F/E before autofinalize I'll ask the mods about it once whilst I report him. It was really good fun.
-
Turns out he actually did send it to me, a letter from customs came yesterday. I didn't FE and was able get a 50% refund so it could have been worse.

Delusional thinking. An ounce of very nice Mexican cannabis only costs two or three dollars in Mexico wheny you buy it by the kilogram. Why in the fucking world would anyone ever make elaborate fake fucking interceptions when the drugs cost them two dollars?! :o

I wouldn't call Fuentes weed very nice, but it get you fucked. And so you might say it is good value for the $. If you get it, that is.

I reread the post, I was getting the false impression that he got an envelope which inside contained resealed vacsealed pouches with custom tape.
It is indeed very doubtful Fuente shipped envelopes sealed with custom tape on the outer shell. They would never make it through without some verifications.
But it is just as doubtful to have an envelope with 2oz going awol, without getting a notification of seizure, and 4 follow up envelopes make it through to the very same drop a couple of weeks later. This happened to me.
Maybe my logic was a bit far fetched so let's keep it simple then: there is most definitely something going on with this vendor. It has been said earlier on in that post. And whatever it is, it's not as some plain and simple as him keeping the money without sending. Not Tony, not enter the matrix.
And you made a good point Jack concerning that bogus interceptions, I mean the packaging part of it, but you can't dismiss it all together, for one can fake a custom interceptions or a lost parcel with a mere tracking number. And it would cost you only as much as the international postage is worth.
So I won't risk into speculations anymore, but would still like everyone who considers buying at Fuentes tienda, to be aware that the is something sketchy going on.
Don't FE, order only if you can afford to loose 50% of the price and a bump to your buyers stats.
Edit: I still think it's cheaper to invest in packaging material required for bogus parcels than to ship all the weed. This vendor has very high sale volumes. I'm not saying he did.
Peace out

From what I gather he's always been slow to ship his orders (and even worse when it comes to replying to messages), combined with the Mexican postal service being shit. Recently though more of his packages seem to be getting intercepted, which I guess isn't too surprising - the guy ships quarter kilos from Mexico.
I don't doubt that several orders have been mismanaged but I don't think he's intentionally scamming anyone. Still, I do wonder if his days here are numbered simply because so many of his packages are being seized.

The Mexican post is just fine. I got my packages in less than 2 weeks. Express is even faster.
I never had to complain about the time it took him to respond, once he decided to attend my order, that is. I can complain about the fact he blatantly serves you loads of BS, though. Unfortunately everything was flushed as per SR policy, I would have pasted it.
You sure do remember the 420 sale and his sativa? Did you ever read any review about it?
You do realize that when you pull a listing, the feedback is not displayed?
Did you understand what I meant to say in how to use tracking codes?
'Nuff said.
It's ok to disagree. But don't you think it's odd that given the fact that a month into vending all those issues where well known to him and his sales were yet to peak, he never got a grip on logistics? So what would be the reason for that? The other vendors manage, don't they?
Peace out

I have no idea about his quality. I just know that you can buy good Mexican cannabis by the kilogram for two to three dollars an ounce in Mexico. He has no reason to send fake seizures. The weed is dirt cheap. The problem is that it is coming from MEXICO! Ounces to 125 gram packages of cannabis being shipped from MEXICO. ;D Of course a lot is going to get seized. ::)
-

The sativa weed no, I don't think I have. But the 420 weed, yes. A lot of people finalised early for that so you have to go back a fair bit to see their feedback, but there are two on the first page of his feedback ATM - are you sure that's true that feedback for old listings gets pulled? Granted, both of them say it didn't arrive but he definitely sent mine and if you go back further you'll see people saying they got theirs.
But don't you think it's odd that given the fact that a month into vending all those issues where well known to him and his sales were yet to peak, he never got a grip on logistics? So what would be the reason for that? The other vendors manage, don't they?
Well, as you said, his sales hadn't peaked. Clearly he isn't making enough effort to give his customers good service, as is borne out by his overall rating being 79 but that's not to say he's scamming anyone. I could be wrong about the Mexican post, I'm only basing what I said about their proficiency on hearsay. But as Jack N Hoff said, he's STILL sending a fuckload of weed from one of, if not THE the most notorious nation on Earth for drug dealing. Add to that, a lot of his customers are European, and there can't be very much post sent from Mexico to Europe so it's not really that strange a lot of his shit is getting seized.
I don't mean to defend him to virulently, not replying to messages for over a month is really shitty and all.

I do understand that.
He doesn't have to send any weed at all for some to believe it was seized. As obviously nobody has a fucking clue what I'm talking about, I'll just shut my mouth. I don't want to give anyone bad ideas here.

Jeez. Ok he's a bad vendor and doesn't give a rats ass improving on well know issues he has with logistics since day one. He thanks you for his support, as he doesn't even have to come out the bush to defend himself, poorly, if you consider last time he did in the forum or on his vendor page.
It's about not scamming it's : labour day, him having a few days off and all the rest of the BS he write on his profile. That and loads of bad luck. Continuous bad luck.
Good luck than if you order from Fuente. My previous comment applies: don't FE order only if you can take a bump to your stats and a 50% loss (que mala suerte esta vez, pero gracias por el dinerito).
Peace out

When you're making claims about a vendor faking customs letters then yes, I will defend them if you do not give evidence. Why you feel the need to be rude and confrontational I don't know.

- I'm not claiming he's making fake custom letters. I misread a post and sorted that above. I wish to make people aware, that is possible to use tracking such as one might think the package was snagged. I'm not saying he does, I'm saying he could.
- You do realize you couldn't answer a single question convincingly?
* No sativa feedback, no reviews: the other 420 orders are coming and I got mine, there are some that say it didn't arrive.
* He had logistic problems even before the sale figure rose, other vendors do not : mexican post is crap + customs snag it
If the listing is down, the feedback get pulled. The rating is integrated into overall vendor rating.
Mexican post isn't that bad I got mine in no time 3 times, yours got so far customs could snag it. I'm not denying it's tough getting post customs from such a flagged country. I didn't even bring it up or mention it. Yes, there are threads of guys getting busted from Fuentes weed. Customs wizened up, sure.
Be sure of one thing: the only plausible explanation about how everything about his operation is a fuckup is not that he's a slob, has poor support from mexican post, is unlucky with customs, experiences setbacks due to his computer burning, experiences delays because of labour day and so on.
The only explanation for all this is he scams.
I'm sorry if I sounded rude. Is it the use of coarse language such as "rats ass, BS, calling the lord Jeez" ? Read again. I'm not being rude to anyone. This gets me heated. Jack statement my thinking is delusional would be, given the fact he prolly didn't take his time to read this thread, any other thread on Fuente, or any of my other post. Nor did he order from Fuente. The statement I made about fake custom interceptions was clearly false, I retracted. Still I see how you can make people believe they've been intercepted. And it would't imply sending weed.
Why I'm confrontational? This happens when people don't agree. This is a statement usually expressed by the party running out of arguments, so to create sympathy for their cause, making the advocate of the other opinion an harassor.
It's cool it worked out all fine for you with Fuente. It did with me, too. But it doesn't for 60% of the other customers, according to his feedback. And I don't buy it's just bad luck or, no envy to improve on crappy logistics (which is know since he was a month into vending).
Peace out.
Again, sorry if I offended you. You will from time to time hear a few f-words, swearing and profanity in here.
Peace out

If the listing is down, the feedback get pulled. The rating is integrated into overall vendor rating.
From what I can see that's not the case. I see feedback of the 420 orders on the first few pages, and that listing was pulled a long time ago. Maybe this is me being dense and I'm misunderstanding you. Sativa, there might be some, but I can't recall seeing it.
I've not seen that many people at all saying they've not had their weed or a customs letter, which makes me think he's not deliberately scamming.
Saying no one has a clue what you're talking about, saying "LF thanks you for your defence because he's too scared to do so himself" and starting your post with "Jeez" gave me a bad vibe. It's not always easy to interpret over text though, perhaps I shouldn't have been so concrete.

1. From my understanding, if a listing gets pulled, the feedback goes along. You made me doubt. We can agree on 'there is no feedback or review for the sativa to our knowledge.' And apparently both read a fair bit.
If I recall correctly, he kept the same listings for 420, doubled the qty and requiered FE. Which would explain the feedback if I'm right.
2. There is one guy saying he got scammed every other page. Than you have these guys who finalize before going into resolution, dunno why, but there's plenty. You are right that some people get their packages. This to me, looks exactly like selectively scamming. Some get, some don't.
3. I'll refrase that into: you don't have a clue what it means. I don't recall too well neither, i must concede. :) You do realize it is totally irrelevant in regard to the points I was making? Forget it, you got me. Nice PR.
Blasphemy is a sin amongst us law abiding citizen.

Good for you. Another wonderful displayed of authentic altruism and sympathy here, my friend.
I've received everyone of my orders, too. So I couldn't complain about him neither, as if you chase him, never let go, never FE, don't let it autofinalize, never trust him, call him out, make fun out of his BS lies and excuses you eventually get your order. So it's all good if you do that. Except that if you don't, you won't get jacks shit. And who doesn't? The noobs. Does he know it? Yes.
So it's a fucking SCAM.
-
If I recall correctly, he kept the same listings for 420, doubled the qty and requiered FE. Which would explain the feedback if I'm right.
Nah he had the normal one up and a separate 420 one. When you click "item" next to the feedback it says "listing no longer active", so pulling a listing actually doesn't remove any feedback from the vendor page.
It will be interesting to see what happens now. If he has been banned then he only has himself to blame for not responding to messages.

You're right about the listings and feedback. I realized that but didn't edit my comment.
If his account was disabled, it's not about his bad comms, it's about him deliberately not sending orders, you'll find that in the wiki. It's ok to be a shitty vendor (well, let's say it will not get you banned), but Fuente scammed, hence he got banned.
SR admins don't take that lightly and don't act on a whim.
One question: what do you expect to happen? His account will eventually be te activated after some time. Would you order from him again?
-

I don´t have FE fortunately. I hope only he pause with business for a while. I made lots of money thanks to him.
He send me two orders. First only ounce(for trial) and second I ordered 4/20. But on second order he should sent me 250 grams and he sent me 375 grams.
So I was with him really satisfied and I can´t wait for next business with him.
-
One question: what do you expect to happen? His account will eventually be te activated after some time. Would you order from him again?
I wouldn't order again because all of his packages to my country are being intercepted. If he dramatically changed his shipping and people in the UK started to report that it was working I'd maybe order and ounce and see how that goes.
As to what I think will happen... it wouldn't surprise me if he's back soon but under strict instructions from the admins not to be a so bad at responding to messages. He's probably been reported dozens of times in the last couple months or so for that very reason.

well.. first, i dont even know if he was banned or wtvr hapenned.. so, he can come back , or no
and btw, the package that i received from him.. the shipping method was the 'normal'.. you know, the envelope and those materials.. he haven't a bad shipping method.. he missed the mylar bags, yes.
But a big problem with weed is the smell. and his packages toked forever to arrive, so i think that any dog would sniff his packages and alert, without any problem.
I think that La fuente never wanted to scam any1. there are somes reports of users ordering like 250 and receiving 375g ( example ). So i think that his organization wasn't the best.
-
He finally wrote me back after my comment in here. I don´t believe he shipped it in the first place, but he answered me and told me that he missed my order and after I wrote my address he would reship my order. 3 weeks tops to Scandinavia and I got santas magic bag, no problem. I ordered the sativa too but as I didn´t hear from him an admin released my money so I got 100% refund which was nice. And of course when lafuente didn´t answer me I guess the admin didn´t have a choice. No complaints from lafuente either so all is good with me.
If he came on as a vendor again I would give ham another chance for sure, as I havent lost any money on him and even though the service could have been alot better, I still received my 1 oz and santas magic bag which was at least 10gr overweight, maybe to compensate for forgetting my order:)

Ah, can't say I'm surprised. I wonder if we'll see him pop up on BMR or something.

lol i'm stuck in processing now for 2 days it sucks and its my first purchase :( not with this guy but another source just saying
-
I was one of the lucky ones who got their paper thin weed so I can't really complain. I knew something was up though when he started putting up thousand dollar coke listings making buyers finalize early on half the payment. Just seemed to me like a lot of people were going to be losing a lot of money.

A few people lost a lot of money.
The weed listing made SHITLOADS of people loose a little money. His ratings went to shit, still everybody was happily buying.
