A few of us have been discussing our pending orders with QualityKings over on the Newbie board.
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=148844.0
We ordered items from this vendor last week, they were marked "in transit" within a day, but none of them have shown up after a week. QualityKings is also not answering PMs. They have pulled all of their listings and have a statement on their vendor page that they lost a lot of money in the bitcoin fiasco and have pulled all of their listings until things cool down. They claim that they are " a few days behind on shipping" but will honor all orders. They have not logged on for two days.
All of that is fine, and I would give them the benefit of the doubt, but the fact that they marked the orders 'in transit' when they obviously did not ship these orders is not OK in my view.
Anyone else have pending business with QualityKings?

Looks like QK is making a huge mistake with their customer base. It doesn't bother me when a vendor puts an order in transit early as long as it's shipped the next day. When it goes longer than that with communication, I won't purchase from them ever again. Piss on waiting by the mailbox for days when it's not even shipped.

not the first to turn rogue
remember Tony. He's right up there on the list of the top Bitcoin Bandits. Speculation was abound as to how much he made in that scam and people were talking $30k+

The putting the order into transit is what pisses me off. If they were just bombarded by the BTC run-up and collapse, I could understand; my order went in right at the peak late last week, so I could have some sympathy. If the order was just ignored and left pending, I could just cancel and write it off as a bad experience. Now we have to go to whatever the resolution process is, I guess.
Doe this mean the order will be marked as "Refund" and it will count against our stats? Or does SR have a mechanism to cancel out the order without affecting our stats. It's a very small order (a couple of Cheeba Chews), and I'd almost rather lose the bitcoins than fuck up my stats.

ananans express got 50% for fuk all in resolution :o and I proved he scammed me. so dont hold you breath buddy its embarrassing that these vendors get away with it & Sr give them 50% , easy money for the scammer
maybe thats why theres so many (only cnnts that can afford this shit) esp when you get 50% for fuk all .

I had a small order from him I placed last Wed. and he claims he's a few days behind on shipping. I put that at nothing shipped last week and hope shipping resumed either by the end of the weekend or Monday. If that's the case then packages should be starting to land. I haven't looked deep into if anyone got an order this week but so far it doesn't look good. My last order from him was slow also but I didn't really mind. Hopefully this is what he says it is. Some vendors got killed by last week but the fastest way to fix that is jump right back in. Just don't let greed get in the way of cashing in the coins or hedge. Hopefully that's how QK sees it and things will be back on track shortly. If not, there's always resolution. :-\

Nothing to do but wait and see what happens. Maybe as BTC goes up again, QK will decide to get back on the horse, but it's a pretty poor performance so far. hey put orders into transit when they did not, and have not been answering PMs. I was patient and waited until yesterday to PM him, but a couple of other people over on the Newbie discussion have been trying all week. I'll survive either way, but it's very frustrating - ordering from SR generates a lot of anticipation, and when nothing happens it sucks. Drugus interruptus.
I particularly don't want my stats to get fucked up over a pissant order, and it's too bad QK apparently is ok with fucking up their vendor rep.

Ya, the worst is the waiting. It's hard not to get spoiled by excellent vendors and 2-3 day shipping. I've had longer delays and things pulled through so I haven't lost faith yet. I will be closely monitoring the situation but shit happens and the situation last week filled the toilet. It might feel like forever but it's only been a week. Does it make it right, no. As long as you didn't FE you should be alright. If you did you should know better. Give the guy a chance to come through on his word before you blast him. What other option do you really have?
-
Well guys I think he has def gone rogue. No login, no communcation, no package again today. Been over a week. I'd been giving him the benefit of the doubt but now Im starting to think otherwise. Anybody get anything today? He ruined my 420 thats forsure
-
Just to let you know that there is a review thread for QualityKings that was started at the beginning of April when they were still shipping.
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=143929.0
The folks on that thread are also not getting shipments, so it looks like we're all in the same boat. I posted over there to let them know about this thread.
-
Cool, Well I see some people got their orders today so thats good I guess
-
Happy to report my package arrived today. Just like I said earlier give the guy a chance to make good on his word. I still haven't read the other threads because quite frankly I wasn't that concerned. Again, it's barely been a week. Should he wait to mark "In Transit" until it's actually shipped, absolutely. But so should a lot of other vendors. Bottom line here is patience. I know the waiting sucks but there's a lot of work that goes into being a safe, successful vendor. Last week caused a slight delay, just like he said. Really you've trusted him to fill orders up until now so what makes this situation any different? Have faith and never FE, you should be fine.

Glad to hear it! A little basic communication on QK's part could have saved a lot of commotion. I'll update on this thread if and when I get mine.
-
Yes, I guess that is the only thing missing. He probably feels like he posted on his page so it's cool. But you're right, it's amazing how much a simple message can accomplish. As with anything there are lessons to be learned here, hopefully they are applied. Hang in there, you should get yours shortly ;)
-
Yes! Really good to hear! Hopefully tomorrow for us others :D
-
I placed an order with him last Tuesday, marked in transit on Wed. Hopefully i'll get my pack on 4/20, the mail's already come today. I'm sketched though, considering he hasn't even been online to see the messages i've been sending him.
Whatever, if it doesn't come tomorrow I think i'm gonna hit the resolution center unless he can actually conduct decent business and answer my messages.
-
Im feeling much better after reading his most recent feedback. Im sure we will all be happy tmrw

Hang tight man, easier said then done, I know. Orders are arriving and from what you're saying you can't do anything for 7-8 days anyway. I think QK had some issues he could've have handled better but I don't and never did think he was scamming. Lots of vendors had 2x-3x or more the orders last week due to the crash. I've read of vendors who usually have 2-3 orders a day having 50-60 during that time. He probably had a ton of orders from last week. Mix that with losing a ton of money like he also said and you get this. The important thing is QK appears to be delivering. If it's not there by mid next week then I'd worry.

Thanks for the insight dude :) The only bummer to this is that i won't have my wax on 4/20, I was really looking forward to it!!
-
Yep, I'm sure you're not alone in that. Hopefully that was the icing, not the cake itself :D
-
QualityKings has not gone rogue! Happy 420!
-
I swear if I get my pack on 4/20 I'll be geeked up about that for weeks.
Oh well, if not, some bubble hash will geek me just as well :)

OK, my order showed up today! Mine was marked in transit on the 11th - one day after yours, Vulva, but shipped on the 17th. I'm guessing now that you'll get yours.
I appreciate the problems that QK may have had with the BTC bubble, 420, etc., but all of this commotion could have been avoided with just a little bit better communication (e.g. another update the vendor page if they couldn't handle individual messages).
In fairness to QK, I suggest that the various people who have indicated that they're waiting for orders update on whichever threads they've post on if and when your order comes in. It isn't and never was my intention to make unfair accusations against QK, and if everyone gets their stuff, then I think we have to write this off as a unique occurrence due to a bitcoin freak-out.
Anyway, I will give them 5/5 feedback because I did get my package, along with a little extra treat).

Hello Everyone,
We have not gone rogue at all, We apologize for any delays on any orders in the past. We became a victim of our own success and simply could not keep up with the order volume without jeopardizing our stealth shipping. We went into vacation mode for two months and restructured everything to be able to handle more orders than anyone could imagine. We will never run into any issues with shipping speed ever again. We are shipping most packages out the same day as of right now. We have also added a few items to our listings page. If you had any issues with us in the past please send us a message so we can discuss what we could do to work past this. We look forward to earning your business back.
