The Art To A Successful Online Med Purchases.

[yellowbelly]

Hello, Ladies and Gents of DBG! Happy Hump Day...

There has been a recent topic of discussion, that I feel needs to be addressed. As I'm sitting, sipping on a New Belgium Ranger, Indian Pale Ale, I figured it would be a good time to add some

valuable and wise words of advice to the DBG Community, especially for the new members of the board. Many of you have been here for quite some time, and know how DBG works, and Many of you are "newbies" to the board. DBG is a website/blog designed to discuss and talk about drugs, and the vendors who supply them, as well as various other topics. It is a site designed for Informational Purposes ONLY, and not a site for promotion of any vendor, but a site for Feedback on experiences with vendors, as well as a community of members who share a common goal and interest. With the help of feedback, (which is the lifeline) DBG has maintained a steady stream of reputable vendors who rely on our community, and have become very prosperous in the process, as well as a "life saver" for many of us. The backbone of this community is for each member to participate and add anything they can to help keep this community rolling forward to achieve a common goal.

I believe that most of you would agree, that finding a vendor that can deliver Quality products of what you want/need in the shortest amount of time/shipping/hassle, is what you mostly come to this website for, and is overall the most important value of DBG.

Am I wrong?

Ok, I see a few of you in the back row that said NO! /default_biggrin.png   Bullshit! /default_angry.png

Ok, so let me break this down for you, and I will keep it brief. This subject has been touched on many times before, but there are so many new members coming to this board on a regular basis, that hopefully we can keep bumping this topic, and I am open to hear other members opinions as well.

1) Don't come on this board as a "newbie" asking for a particular drug without doing ANY research to find what you are looking for. Chances are, you will get a cheerful earfull of "go do your research and you will find what you are looking for," or something along those lines...

2) Read the Damn rules of the forum. I have been here over a year, and sometimes I have to go back and read some of the rules. Admin is the owner of this site and he makes the rules for the rest of us to abide by...We as mods just enforce them.

3) Read, Read, and than Read some more....I read for many hours, and many pages and followed threads, and than Read some more before I even made my first post on DBG.

4) Read the first thread of any vendor to find out what type of product they offer, and than skip to the last page (or newest page) for that particular vendor to find out what the lastest news is on that vendor. If the vendor has an active website, visit it. Repeat this process until you find the product you like and the price you like. If you find a product and the prices are too good to be true, hit the back button, and look for another vendor. Most of these "too good to be true" vendors are already on the blacklist, so there is not much to worry about there.

5) Don't shop on the Blacklist! /default_biggrin.png ....

6) A successful order is ONLY as Good as that order itself. If you decided to reorder from that vendor, say a month later, once again go back to recent feedback (usually within 5-7 days) and see what people are saying. If reports are still good, and people are still reporting "orders received", send out for another order. If the feedback is mixed, or orders have been outstanding, it may be a good time to do some more reading, or seek out another vendor until you find RECENT POSITIVE FEEDBACK of "orders received" by more than one member. Usually when a vendor is on his "A" game you will see lots of positive feedback. If you are seeing mixed results, post a listing on the forum, for members to post when they receive their order, or ask them to post if they haven't received their order. We are all here in the same boat, and rely on updates, to keep these orders coming on time, and keep our money as safe as possible...

7) NEVER Pay for Overnight Shipping, unless you have money to burn, and just don't care...Most if Not all vendors these days are NOT shipping overnight service, and some of you may argue this, but I can say that at least 98% of them are not, so why piss $60 or more away on Overnight Shipping....Same with Saturday Shipping...Try to order early in the week. Monday orders are best.

8) UPDATE THE BOARD...when you receive an order let the community know, so we can build confidence in placing orders.

9) Never Order from a vendor that doesn't have STRONG recent feedback,via email or website, unless you have been dealing with this vendor for a long period of time, and feel very comfortable doing it...

10) Never request an email for a particular vendor on an open forum. What can happen? Someone can give you a fake email address, and have your money sent to them, NEVER to be seen again...Simple as that!

11) Plan ahead, order ahead if you can afford to and don't put yourself in desperation mode. When you get in that mode, you tend to make bad decisions with vendors.

12) Participate and make Friends. You will find that there are many people who are willing to help. Be respectful, and ease into it. Attitude will get you nowhere!

Your Thoughts, Comments, and Feedback are Welcome, and thanks for listing to my 2 cents....

That's about it for now peeps! I hope some of these tips will hit home, and make you think before you place your next order...

Best of Luck, and Thanks for being a part of the DBG Community.... /default_smile.png

yb you said it best and know a lot more than me. But I would like to add it really goes a long way to be polite and respectable of the vendors. They don't have an office with all the people who play a part in the process. It takes several people to make this work.

I realize we all get frustrated from waiting but remember this carries a lot of risk for everyone so cut the guys some slack. Regarding the delays if the transaction is successful you should be thankful and let your guy now that you appreciate the effort. Things have changed a lot in the last few months but if we all be more patient and appreciative everyone will be satisfied in the end. Again remember what this is all about. It's going good considering what could be happen.

Sorry yb was not trying to upstage you just give some additional insight.

 

[yellowbelly]

I agree to a certain degree HB. It does take several people to make this work....However, Business is Business, and we are talking about hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars at stake. Getting upset doesn't make the product move any faster, and in most cases being polite doesn't either. My point was to chose your vendor wisely, and keep up on the latest postings, to make your best choice, based on recent feedback..without that, it can be a crap shoot..DBG members feed many mouths across the world, and we are still customers...Take a look at the Blacklist my friend...Many of these vendors were Good as Gold for Years..They are there for a reason...

P.S. I'm not talking about an occasional late shipment. I'm talking about members who order from vendors that haven't had positive feedback for months, or members who just join, and pick out the first vendor they see...Trust me, I see and hear a lot of stuff on the inside, that never makes the board. This post is to mainly help people who are first starting out in this venture....

[yellowbelly]

Thanks for the the compliment STARBOYBLU....I wish everyone could read the PM messages I receive on a daily basis....Thousands of dollars are being swiped by vendors because people fail to use common sense... /default_sad.png

"12) Participate and make Friends. You will find that there are many people who are willing to help. Be respectful, and ease into it. Attitude will get you nowhere!"


This is a very important point and I think often forgotten.

We can all agree that getting on with people is better than not getting on with people. The job of mods is to enforce the rules like YB pointed out, I see too often people thinking they are mods and start shouting at others about how to do things.

I personally really appreciate that people on this forum keep our ( the mods ) jobs down to a minimum by helping us out such as pointing things out and kindly telling other members what to do. I do not however like it when people, mods or members start giving attitude to others because it doesn't get the message across any more in fact probably less then if you explain in a kind and courteous manner.

I only mention mods by the way because of previous mods currently we have a fine bunch.

 

[dave2002]

I must say wholeheartedly you Mods are a fine bunch!

 

[yellowbelly]

Thanks Dave...I appreciate the kind words sir.... /default_smile.png

 

[mrwiggums]

What does it take to make the blacklist? I mean is there a certain amount of people they have to screw? Or is it a percentage? Or is it just as long as it's not the tops?

 

[yellowbelly]

It's a combination of many things...

 

[Xegh]

Yer many variables but fundamentally a site gets blacklisted because there is a reason to believe that members are in some way at risk by ordering from them. 

 

[Stewart Performance Ltd.]

 I found this advice very helpful and time-saving. Although a lot the vendors recommended and listed in this forum are paranoid schizos, who believe everyone with "new inquiry" is automatically a COP!!

 Unfortunately, I have only found 1 vendor out 20+ listed in these forums/posts, that is actually taking new orders.. The rest seem to be old links that do not work and/or the profit hungry jerks charging $10-$30 per tablet...

 Anyone else having the same experiences?

I think this post should be made a 'Sticky'

I'm finding that the DBG Community is sort of loosing it's sense of Community.

There are Many new members been let in the door on a Daily basis, (which is fine) but there are also

Many, Many Topics and posts that people have taken the time to write but not very many people seem

willing or wanting to engage in simple polite / courteous replies or conversations..

Ok, admittedly i've not been around for very long in the grand scale of things. But that doesn't matter folks.

I try to contribute where and when i can, but this is YOUR Community and Without people engaging with other

people there is no sense of Community..

The boards are bigger than sourcing this and that, and it's a bit of a shame that members don't seem to value what's on offer here..!!

Sorry for the rant, but that's just my 2 cents worth..

Best Regards,  T.

 

[Nitetrain]

I was quite impressed with what you had to share. A community is to be valued....that means go slow, test the water and read the rules before jumping off the  "No Swimming" dock then getting angry with the lifeguards.

I am trying to soak up all this valuable information because it's pretty cool ( or I wouldn't be here) and it's invaluable to the quality of my life. 

That's all folk....oh and yes...there are some truly fine people here, with lots of things in common... hence...."Community".            

All the best,  Nitetrain 

 

[2earls]

Thanks for reviving this thread @Nitetrain @Stewart Performance Ltd.and @Toker. It reminds me that there is some good stuff hidden away in these pages.

I wish I had the time to read and respond to every question or engage in every conversation, so I have a lot of appreciation for those who take the time to do so. Without members like you, we would be left with those who sign up, get the emails, and then only return when a problem arises. 

I hope that members like you can help to breathe new life into the forum. Thank you for taking the time to read and post. I am missing that feeling of community myself and will make an effort to get my nose out of my inbox and participate more in our discussions. 

 

[Chubette]

Wow, what a great topic!  Just when you think you've read just about everything something like this pops up.  Nothing irks me more than a newbie's first post is one asking where a certain drug can be found.  When I first started here I did so much reading I thought my eyeballs were going to pop out.  There is an unbelievable amount of information here and even after being here for years I still find new and valuable information on this site.  For myself this site is invaluable and the best thing a newbie can do is read and read some more.

How true the statement is regarding paying for overnight shipping.  Rarely is an order received overnight, more like 2 or 3 days, so why waste the money.

Wonderful advice given here!  Thanks!

 

[Nitetrain]

Here is some of the most valuable and insightful information shared by members who've been around long enough to know what they're talking about....and I wish I could remember all their names.  It sounds lame but you know who you are:

Do your research & read, read, read.

Read the Forum rules especially 

Ask questions

Don't increase your dose (unless you're undermedicated)

Dont run out if you can afford not to

Participate in all the interesting forums....you'll find your niche

Reach out and say "Hello" to other members & don't take it personally if someone doesn't want to be your best friend 

Take what we have seriously and be gracious...we all have our own valid reason for being here.

All this I've read from longer members and am grateful.

That's about it. Thanks for reading.

Nitetrain

This is a good post shame the person who made it got banned. I read it all and it should be common sense but it is unbelievable how many people simply just don't know any better than the simple rules typed out here and when they don't know to follow these simple guidelines in the way of how things work they all end up getting ripped off/loosing their money. Using the Internet anonymously to some degree at least will sometimes get you bad results or friendly and good results but only if your careful will you be able to get good results and that requires literally hours of reading and researching and headaches lol. 


  If You put the work in... the end the results that you will yield in the end, will be tremendously beneficial and the most satisfying feeling of gratification and knowing you accomplished something on your own with your own hard work and sweat and tears by reading and researching and with a little bit of chance/luck on your side and will power will let you succeed in your desired results in the end which would make you so happy you will want to jump for joy.
