Title: What the hell is going on with Planta?
Post by: lex on February 27, 2012, 01:05 pm
I ordered a few grams of weed from Planta almost 2 weeks ago and it still isn't here in the UK. I cannot believe it takes this long from Netherlands -> UK?! Maybe he uses the slowest postage physically possible.

Edit: It finally came. Sorry for doubting you Planta.

I hope he will return and make good as he was looking like a really promising vendor. His departure was quite abrupt and all he posted was that he will not be on vacation, but ill. Lets hope he will recover from the illness he has at the moment and comes back to finish any order problems and resume service.

P.S. I know you have ordered and received jack shit, but this doesn't feel like a deliberate scam as he took his listings down pretty sharpish, so there is still some hope!

I'm thinking he made them finalize early.
If true.
Is he refunding?
or scamming?

Doesn't it say on his page that he's ill at the moment? Or am I thinking of someone else, before he went away I ordered some of the purple haze and it came to the UK in two days from the time it was 'in transit'. I don't think he's a scammer or trying to scam, most likely scenario is that he is ill and customs picked up your package, hopefully he'll be back soon to sort it all out (and because he has some nice weed). As for the other people like the guy that got 0.9 instead of 3, feck knows!

P.s. He didn't make people finalize early when he was on

Fucks sake.

He isn't refunding and he didn't make people finalize, he has just fucking vanished. I didn't finalize any of my orders (thank god) so I'm going to have to pursue a refund through SR as this guy doesn't care about his customers. Very annoyed. As for the people leaving feedback on his listings "received in 4 days"- this is a completely useless piece of fucking information unless you tell us where you live. Afghanistan? France? China? USA?  Pissed with this whole situation.

Ordered from him way back, wasn't asked to finalise early, best product I've ever had, received to Scotland within a few days. They're clearly having big problems and SR is set up to protect you from that so unless he tries to stop your refund I'd just drop it mate

Silkroad will refund me 50% of the $80 I sent this idiot (if I'm lucky). The fact people are saying they've received from him after 2 days, 7 days, 10 days to the UK after he marks as dispatched makes me think suspicious of this guy. Maybe he get lazy and doesn't dispatch immediately, I have no fucking idea. I gave it a week for this drugs to arrive and now they haven't I have had no access to medicine for days and days. Much money and time wasted on this piece of shit who can't be bothered signing into his account for 8 days. Planta if you're reading this I hope you get hit by a bus.

I've been waiting a week on an order to the UK since it was marked in transit. My last order from them was perfect and arrived in less than a week so I don't know what's going but I'm not holding my breath.

Interesting. He probably just marked all of his orders as dispatched before he left without sending anything. What an asshole.

...doesn't it say he's ill on his vendor page?

delivery took me 4 days to the UK, he normally ships quick but he had his listings pulled down for a while I pm'd him why and he said he sold out ( which has happened to me before too) but something is up if you havent received in 2 weeks from NL to UK..

I'm not jumping to any conclusions yet as it's only been a week for me and it would be a bit stupid to just leave considering it's still in escrow. If a package does get seized by customs they would either send you a letter or pay you a visit, I don't think they just throw it away or whatever without letting you know.

I would rather have an official knocking at my door telling me what a naughty boy I have been instead of just nothing. No reply to messages, no package, absolutely nothing. Planta has dozens of customers that he is ignoring, but he has just re-listed "wholesale and special orders" where he says "I will reply as soon as possible". Guess he only cares about making money. It isn't normal for people to receive orders from him after 4 days, 21 days, 7 days - all from Netherlands to UK. He is obviously fucking everyone around with his dispatch times. I don't know what he is fucking playing at but I'm tired of it.

If you're considering buying anything from Planta: Do not. He doesn't care after you send him $$$.

my product was in transit on a saturday and with me the next friday. So 5 working days to the UK. The green was sweeeeet, especially for the price. Cant wait for him to come back so i can get some more!

It seems some people are receiving and some aren't. I'm sure it's not his fault but I would at least hope for a love letter from customs rather than being left hanging. Someone on his feedback said it took 21 days to arrive so who knows the the fuck is going on.

Yeah. He's taking the piss. I'm sure he could have answered all of the messages his frustrated customers have been sending him no matter how "ill" he claims to be.

Well I've been waiting 11 days thus far, anyone else in the UK care to share how long Planta's orders took to come through? Slowly losing hope, it would have been more fun and less agonizing to give my money away instead of wasting it on this joker.

Took 8 days to the UK for me, I'm impressed with the herb too... although now I am hesitant about ordering again.

Planta obviously doesn't give a shit about his customers I won't be ordering anything again. If you buy from him after reading this more fool you!

I did my first order for 1g of Weed from planta about 4 weeks ago. Great communication and very fast shipping, got here in 4 days. However, it was a handwritten package, and when you opened it the weed was double vaccumed and enveloped in a bit of cardboard ripped of a cereal packet. I mean, a handwritten package from the Netherlands is really suspicious, and it would've been easy to see what it was if it was opened.
Great product and fast, but I'll only order again if he steps up his shipping method and I see better feedback on here.

Planta's listings are up again. Had their stuff before and it was very good. So I made a new order and now they want me to FE. Obviously I will not do that.

Asking returning customers with over 50 transactions and a 0% refund rate is, sorry to say, plain stupid.

Be careful, I don't have a good feeling about this.

Nobody should have to FE for cannabis.
If a vendor is getting ripped of selling 8's and grams, then stop selling them.

Got to agree, this vendor isn't that good be demanding FE from a user with more than 30 days, and 10 transactions, let alone 50.

Don't do it :(

You are absolutely right but then again, if you look at their latest feedback over the past few days, all FE, all for 1g. I guess most people know what to think of that.

I've ordered on 14th and have not received anything yet. Their deliveries in the past took 2 to max 4 days. There was a bank holiday in-between, so to be fair I will wait some more.

Anyone received their orders from Planta's recent listings? His feedback is a solid week of 'FE'. He also dropped his stock levels from 230 kilos to under 5 kilos when I mentioned my suspicions in my UK buyers thread.

Planta has now pulled his listings, gone into stealth mode and his feedback has dropped a couple of percent  ???

Doh, that sucks donkey balls! I tried warning people in my UK Cannabis Buyers thread (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=11298.msg241633#msg241633). I also reported my suspicions to a forum mod who didn't seem bothered. I'm guessing you were asked to finalise early?

Post by: TFMP on May 30, 2012, 08:53 am
I think it is official now that he only came back for a quick scam. My orders are with the resolution center right now.

Good thing I didn't FE despite him asking me to. Sorry for those who did but it really is your own fault...
Title: Re: What the hell is going on with Planta?
Post by: BDF on May 31, 2012, 07:54 am
I was fortunate. I managed to cancel and get a refund. It would be a shame if he did turn. His previous listings were always well priced.  :(

Feel like dumbest person on silk,

earlier I thought planta was the best of it. Good prices, superb weed. I kinda think he's done with shipping internet and sold his account or something

made an order of 4g ofr a incredible 80$ (because I knew the quality before and made ~5 orders to him which all went through within 3-6 days) and then another order for 31g/200$

Should have been fkin conspicious as he even couldnt name his own strains anymore
"can send u 31g suger pnch planta"

But when I saw the super price for his weed I was blinded, best thing was that I ordered 1 day before he went into stealth - talk about timing.

Ok, that 280$ lesson is now to check for vendors repuation every time - not even If you made 5 succesful orders in the last months by him.
