Title: QualityKings A Scam?
Post by: Vulva on April 18, 2013, 05:21 pm
 All the reviews I read from him are great, atleast it seems that way. Now he has no listings. Not sure what to think about this guy, first transaction and its going very poor. :/ Placed order on the 8th, marked in transit on the 10th. Still no parcel. He will  not reply, after 3 messages over 5 days.
Kinda sketch, but i think im going to reslove in the next 2 days.

I've had one experience with QK.  Ordered 4 Cheeba Chews.  They showed up in ~3 days and came with a free piece of Couch Taffy.  The edibles were good quality and the stealth was perfectly acceptable, but a mistake was made in the name on my address.  However, I believe this was accidental and when I informed QK of the situation, they calmly assured me that the circumstances that allowed that mistake to happen have been corrected.

I'll be surprised if it turns out QK is scamming you, but it wouldn't be the first time a good vendor turned scam either.

Actually, I think the fact that he hasn't logged in for two days makes it less sketch.  There's no benefit for QK in ripping only you off, and in order to be ripping other people off, he'd have to be accepting orders and marking them in transit and somehow getting people to finalize which requires logging in.  It's possible he has real life situations to take care of.  Just like the rest of us, vendors don't spend every waking hour on SR.

I've been seeing old accounts come back requiring FE on all their listings like this guy 20DollarBILL (http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/9971f46fca)

He's offering 8 free pills if you buy 12 of the oxy 10's, who the fuck does that. Even for a 420 sale. If it's not a scam it's worth mentioning either way because I'm sure nothing good will come of it.

What I'm trying to say is if he comes back requiring FE on all his listings he's about to scam your ass.

Since BTC are 1/3 their value, the benefit would be letting the orders go to resolution and everyone gets back their unhedged BTC which are now pennies on the dollar.  Or he took a huge loss and shiped everything late (Monday like he said in his profile).

I'd say if it doesn't arrive by 4/20 then it's not gonna.

If he did decide to cut and run, it'd be hard for him to return to the road with a new vendor name since his items were distinguishable.

I didn't consider the hedging aspect, I guess a lot of vendors stopped hedging during the super BTC bubble?  If so, they were as naive as so many others, believing that kind of growth was sustainable.  It seems like most orders I placed before that started happening were hedged, but I really haven't ever paid much attention.  Never had any need for concern really...

Yea but the more I think about it.  Is that really a good enough reason to abandon your vendor account?  He could have just canceled the orders. Time will tell but I don't think the word scam should be applied yet.

Yeah I don't think QK went scam.  Maybe he's just busy with IRL stuff.  It happens from time to time.  Jerseycow pulled all his LSD listings, citing "real life issues" and nobody has jumped on him calling him scam.  I think QK will come through somehow.

He should be doing his part and satisfying his customer base.
Not logging on for 3 days is just horrible business on his part.
And this is "rl". Money is "rl".
They need to get over their btc losses and move on while managing their customer base.

Hello,

We are here to clear our name, We are not scammers of any sort. We simply became a victim of our own success. Having some of the best concentrates and edibles on the road cause us to expand way too quickly with not enough man power to handle the volume. We disappeared for a while to restructure our entire business. We have since gone back up and can handle any volume that is now thrown at us. We are currently shipping most of our packages same day. I think almost everyone got refunded through the resolution center. If you had any issues in the past with us please send me a message so we can address the issue. We are back and hopefully can have another shot at earning your business.
