Title: MrNiceGuy007
Post by: buyer7697 on January 17, 2013, 06:43 pm
Has anybody had any dealings with this vendor?  I ordered a sample from him, he marked it in transit the next day, but then 2 days after that he messages me asking for my name and address again.  I'll copy and post the conversation.  I didn't respond after his last message, his explanation, poor punctuation and numerous misspellings just seem a little strange to me. 

"MrNiceGuy007    I lost your address on a webpage that timed out. please send the me correct address and will have your sample in the mail asap.  My apologies for the inconvenience.

buyer7697    I'm a little confused, my order was marked in transit a few days ago. Why mark it in transit if it hasn't actually left? I understand things happen but it raises a red flag to me and I like to be as safe as possible. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the free sample and would love to try the original og kush.

MrNiceGuy007    your should be shipped out i just wanna make sure thst it was because when i went to double check orders i couldnt find your address to match with your name and could have been a mistake due to msny orders. There should be no red flags im sending you a free product and if thhere was an issue id be mmore than happy to assit with fixing the issue. Again your product should be on its way i just wann a make sure.. i appolgize for any inccovineces if you voukd just let me knw name and address i can l let you knoe what had happen. sorry again. i appreicate your business  "


Thoughts?

I got an order for one of the samples as well.  It's been in transit for 7 days now.  Not sure why it hasn't arrived because it was to be shipped Priority Mail.  I've had no communication with the vendor though.. 

I mean it's free and all, but at the same time I hate for a vendor to mark something in transit when it clearly isn't.  I hate not knowing if I have illegal drugs floating in the postal system on the way to me.

Mine has been marked in transit for 7 days also.  At first he said he lost the address then he says it actually shipped and he wanted to double check....doesn't make sense to me, sketchy shit.  Makes me not want to use the address I originally gave him anymore

yep, haven't gotten mine either. got a sample today and thought it was his so I finalized, but realized it wasn't his thanks to this thread. marked in transit for 7 days here as well.

maybe:
He wants to make sure that he's not about to send the same order twice,
He's not sure he sent your order, but thinks he did. When he see's your address he'll remember

Maybe give him part of your address and first name. not enough to identify you incase of interception of his account, but enough for him to realise he's shipped it.

or else tell h

-tell him you'd rather wait untill you receive the item, and if you dont, only then will you arrange for a re-ship.
politely tell him your security is at risk, so "i'd rather risk not getting my sample than giving you my address twice, in the event that your account has somehow been intercepted" (-by someone who cannot spell properly)

Anyone have any updates on this guy?  He has some decent prices on several products, but the feedback he has on his vendor page and here is too inconsistent for me to order from him at this point.

several of us put orders in for samples and never received - in fact, I don't know that anyone has successfully received from him?

probably a bad idea, IMO.

I still haven't received anything, and no response after telling him I wasn't giving him my address again.

went out on a limb and re-sent my (encrypted) address for a re-ship of the sample after he contacted me after reading this thread. my communication with him this time around has been quite good and, if everything works out, it seems he might have figured things out.

I'll update in a few days either way.

I went the other way and decided not to take the risk.  I simply took it to resolution and had them cancel my order which he obliged with.  He was in contact with me after reading the forums.  Let me know how it goes Ram

I'm always glad when a vendor proves us all wrong, and MNG007 did just that.

after an initial seemingly rough takeoff for MNG including a shipping hiccup that resulted in me not getting my shipment, MNG was diligent in reading the forums and responding to those who were unhappy. he offered me a refund or a reship, and I picked reship as I like to believe in the new vendors if they make an effort. I'm so glad I did!

it would appear from the packaging that the point of origin was not too far from my place in the southeast, and from the day MNG said it was dropped in the mail to in my mailbox was just over 2 days total. he also told me retained his records better and I believe that helped him this time around. good work.

the packaging itself is acceptable, though could do with some stealthing improvements as I was smelling something as soon as I made it through the second layer in from the outermost. that said, product arrived intact and quite fresh, considering the packaging methods used, so the vendor must have some method of preservation worth using. I would also recommend considering a sturdier shipping method, though obviously it worked fine this time around; I'm not sure how well it'd do on a longer journey, though.

the product itself is what I'm here to talk about. I must say, I'm a bit of a weed snob and I'm impressed. I'll admit I was (albeit unfairly) not expecting top-notch after the debacles, but this 1st generation OG Kush really impressed me, especially considering the product isn't CA/WA-grown (or so it seems). I'm guessing this means MNG is either the grower or friend of the grower, in which case I commend whoever produced this batch. the buds arrived intact and a beautiful vibrant green with some veins of lighter green and even hues of yellow. the smell was right on the money, that curious cross of pine and fruit that you expect from OGK, and the taste followed suit - an incredibly smooth smoke, and a great feeling of relaxation and euphoria hit me about 60 - 90 seconds after the first exhale. overall, a fantastic smoke, and if the prices match the market accordingly, MNG could have a successful little shop here.

overall, 5/5 for a vendor making an effort to make things right even when people are doubting him, and a product that surely belongs here on SR. welcome aboard, MNG007!

Thats awesome Ram, glad to hear everything worked out.  Kicking myself a little now cause I really wanted to try the OGK but I couldn't risk my peace of mind.  Better to be extra cautious then risk losing sleeping.  Welcome to the Road MrNiceGuy, glad you smoothed everything out.

I don't blame you at all, and believe me, after the bullshittery I've seen from lesser vendors over the year I've been here, I was nervous to even give it a second go but I'm glad I did!
