I've been doing a ridiculous amount of reading, especially in SY, but in international, us-us, and everywhere else as well, and I've noticed that orders received run a good chance of being "short" a few, damaged, not the right product, etc. at times. While it's obvious the work the members, mods and admin do here goes a looong way towards making sure we have a decent group of reliable vendors, obviously things happen. It also seems many vendors are willing to take our word for it and make good on their mistakes which is great. Of course this isn't the case 100% of the time though. Does anyone have anything in particular they do in prep for this eventuality to make sure you're dealt with fairly and at the same time, make vendors feel they're not being taken advantage of? I've seen that some members take pics of damaged goods or of incorrect numbers, but those can obviously be skewed after delivery by dishonest folks (not saying anyone here in particular is, but vendors deal with all types I'm sure). I'm set to receive my first SY order tomorrow, and while it has been a super smooth transaction so far, I'm a "prepper" (and was also a law minor and always like to make sure my ass is covered). I'm considering videoing the package opening, first showing it unopened, original tape, etc. and recording opening, contents, count and type. In thinking about it, it's the simplest, closest to fool-proof way I could come up with of having proper documentation in case of any issues. Im not anticipating any, but since it's a first order, I would hate to give a vendor the impression that I might be that "type" of customer without being solid about it. 

Anyone ever do this? Great way to keep all parties happy, or great way to offend a vendor by making them think you were anticipating them trying to screw you over? Totally unnecessary waste of time? "This newbie is going to have her phone hacked by the FBI and have a lovely visit from them because she's a goddamn idiot"?...  :P

 
Lol, it's a great idea. Pics are good- video is even better. Hopefully there won't be any problems that you will need it for, but you are right about how pics can be staged. Particularly when you are just starting out with a vendor, before there's any level of trust built, I think it's a smart thing to do.

 
To video opening a questionable package is called evidence that can and will be used against you. While it might get u your missing goodies, it could also get you jammed up if johnny law happens to look through your phone or other device that recorded it. Sounds like fun but don't forget the morons on instagram who were posting pics of $$$ and D@pe and were tracked down because of the info a digital pic contains like uh duh your location.

 
Gotta third that sentiment. I almost did this once when opening a package I was fairly certain had the wing contents based on size, but after thinking it through decide safety outweighs a slightly better chance for a correction by the vendor. 

In that instance it was with a very good reputable vendor here and he made it right even though the package was entirely wrong in content like I thought. 

 
Maybe I'm not paranoid enough? I've definitely taken pics before and deleted them afterwards. I always fear "they" are going to show instead of the order and not afterwards. I do usually let it sit, unopened for an hour or two; just in case something is following it.

 
All I can say is 96 % of the time the order is fine. I believe a person has more of a chance of fakes than crushed or missing product. 

In my time that had been 3.5 of the 4% of 16 months of transactions. .25 was the scammer and the other .25 was crushed . Never had missing that wasn't recovered and that was 1 time. 

Hope that helps. It's still flipping a coin but that's why we have this forum ! 

Love to our moderAters 

 
Luckily for me my vendors pack well and overpack if anything! Usually bonuses included with minimal to no crushing.

Have had crushed in the past, I just pour that into something and take sublingually. Heck, works better that way half the time.

Shorting hasn't been a problem for me luckily, just  a few "lost soldiers."

 
I have just opened a package from an EXTREMELY REPUTABLE VENDOR that I have been using weekly for months on end and today, for the first time, my order is short--by a significant number of pills that are the equivalent of £250. 

Right now, I am in limbo, waiting for a reply to an email I sent explaining that my meds were not in the parcel.  I am FLIPPING OUT, but my experience with this vendor has always been positive...this vendor has never let me down before.  But, of course, I have never before gone to this vendor saying that the bulk of my order is missing.

For now, I wait.  And it isn't easy.  But I will post again once this situation progresses.  It can go a number of ways...I hope that it turns out that the stock that was meant for me is sitting in a nice little pile someplace and that the vendor sees it and says "oh, damn--that's my fault...I really meant to pack that in her parcel!"

I pray that it turns out that way.

Send me some good vibes, y'all.  Especially cause I really like this vendor and I really want to keep using their service.

Give me a PM if you need to @lightningseed5.

 
@PTFC something in my gut tells me that this is going to turn out fine.  Said vendor is such a good & decent businessman that I expect this to be resolved quickly and efficiently.

it is still a very awkward place for a buyer to be--to have to tell the hand that "feeds" me that they've made an error--it's quite humbling

Order from vendor's with consistently positive feedback! That is crucial. I doubt very much that the FBI would hack your phone, even as a Brit, sure that they have bigger catfish to fry...

PM a Mod if you are wary, or unsure about a vendor. If they are busy, there are other very knowledgeable members to contact.

  1. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  2. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  3. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  4. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  5. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  6. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  8. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  9. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  10. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  11. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  13. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  14. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  15. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
  16. O @ oh be g: btw these are actual good practices and help greatly if u form as a habit
  17. H @ hotdog45: Anyone else get an email from schedwick666 I haven't opened it. I remember he was on here but I cannot recall what happened
  18. O @ oh be g: and always remember to use any .... whateere it mayy be safely ad rememeber those who have passed. keep safe in their honor
  19. O @ oh be g: ill play! wake up every morning knowing its a gift to wake up!
