Title: Are "reships" the biggest scam on SR???
Post by: Dicko456 on January 30, 2013, 10:39 am
Hey All,

I have been around for a while now (50+ trans) and given I am in a hard to ship country I have had my fair share go missing.

In most cases the vendor offer a reship. Thing is I always use a new addy and not once has the supposed "reship" shown up.

I dont think it is mail being profiled I just think these vendors dont send it knowing they have another 20-25 days before you start asking questions.

That way it is 50 odd days since your original order and therefore any amended feedback is muted to an extent.

What have other people experienced? Are vendor reships a scam?

I've only had 1 package go missing ever and i got a 50% re-ship and the re-ship arrived. so I can only assume that most are re-shipping at least.

I'm assuming you're from russia or australia if it's a hard to ship too area, that being said, it seems like everyone is having general troubles getting stuff their, so I wouldn't get too paranoid about it(drugs tend to make you do that) I'm sure they are re-shipping, unless you're ordering from absolute new vendors all the time then you're probably getting ripped off.

When i was a newbie here on my first order i think i was selectively scammed or put on the backburner till my "in transit" time was up, then he reshipped and it got here in 4 days when i mentioned it on the forum!

I havnt had any product sent out seizured yet, which would cause me to reship,  thankfully!!

I believe it all comes down to the vendor. If it's a trusted vendor they will reship it to you because they want to be reputable and they also want your business in the future. Funny thing was my first order when I was a noob I believe either the packaging was bad or I got selectively scammed it never came. So I asked for a 50% reship and I was pretty convinced it wasn't going to come either with all the bad rep about the vendor on the forums. But surprisingly it showed up 2 weeks later and the packaging was bad so I'm not surprised the 1st didn't show up. In the end if you are ordering from the NL it comes down to some luck and also the stealthyness of the package.

SHORT summary or TLDR: Trusted and reputable vendors that offer reships will ship them because your feedback and business is important to them. I like them reships especially with my favorite vendors!  ;D

Its a scam imo .. I would rather take a 50% bitcoin refund .. even then who knows if the original was even sent... and they have just pocketed 50%
