I paid last Wednesday, sent confirmation of payment, and they said I would get tracking shortly. I asked for update twice, upon asking today this was his automated response.

Dear Customer,

Your package has been successfully registered. However, please be informed that you are required to settle a refundable insurance fee with the delivery company.

This insurance is necessary to ensure your package is fully protected from inspection or seizure by authorities, as research chemicals are now highly regulated in several countries.

Note: The insurance fee is refundable, and the total amount to be paid is $200 USD.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,
ELITE-CHEMS

Never seen such blatant fuckery, I told them to get fucked and it just repeated the above message, in over 10 years with online vendors this is the first time I've been scammed, didn't lose much but still sucks.
 
With so many vendor's to choose from on this board, why go for one with no reviews here at all.
That insurance fee is the oldest scam in the book.

I tried to post a thread asking if anyone has tried but it wasn't accepted

generally i agree with you on this but every vendor had a first review.
someone's gotta bite the bullet sometimes.
all the vendors on here had no reviews at one point.

i think a better rule that needs to be established with this kind of stuff is to assume any shop that has 50+ chems plastered on the front page with no photos for any of them is probably a telltale. They usually always have these weird wordpress-blog style elements scattered around the page too like SEO for crawlers so they pop up on search engines.

They have some weird products listed which sketched me out and make no sense, AI made descriptions, but since they showed up heavily on search engines and as I wasn't able to post a topic about them I went through with it.

What kind of scam site has DDOS protection too? Idk maybe I've been gone for too long, I stopped doing all the weird and heavy shit to get my life together. Thankfully I had the $130 to spare so hopefully this post will show up when you Google their url

Like wtf is Orange Mandala? After doing some further research those come up with some weird branded RC blends, plausible. They have a Elite-Chems.eu url that goes into more depth on some of these weird names products. I would only assume Elite-chems.eu is also a scam. I probably should have seen when the site came online but that wasn't my top priority at the time

most of the time legit vendors will have some kind of no-crawling solution implemented specifically to avoid showing up on search engines. in my experience, typically the only legitimate vendors that allow this to happen are (assumed) actual laboratories that can produce actual paperwork for their products and not just some trap house that might have a couple GC-MS tests laying around for some stuff. it's better to limit visibility to people that are willing to put in the work to find them than chase that extra buck. just imagine how fast vendors would get heat on them if any joe schmoe could just go on google and search "best rc vendors" or something of that nature to find them. it's the same reason this forum doesn't show up on searches.

I found DBG through a duckduckgo search. several pages deep if I remember. been a couple years .
 
Before I found this thread, I had elite chems dot com bookmarked, because, yea, I found them on a search engine. After reading this, I went back to the bookmarked link to find the site is down. Good. Thanks everyone for the warning.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP
  8. L @ Layne_Cobain: @ClintEastwood make a post about it homie they’re gonna take down your message here cuz shout box isn’t really for talking shop just random shooting the shit exc but yeh just put your message in a post on the forum in the appropriate place and ppl will get at you! 👊 ✌️
  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
