He did end up replying last night, I guess a few packages were misplaced or something? From his post on here earlier today it sounds like it has been dropped off. Idk but as long as the package starts moving by midnight I’m satisfied. I’d love to hear if people have been having recent orders come in without any issues or delay. I know people are more likely to come hear and post about issues as opposed to just saying everything was normal but I’d think right now it would ease a lot of concerns to hear that some orders have been seamless, that would also make me more confident re-ordering from him after this ordeal. Granted, I placed my order on the 1st so assuming it actually starts moving today I would expect it to be delivered on Monday the 12th, so for an order placed on a holiday weekend that total time isn’t terrible, and if the communication was a little better I would have no problems. Idk if there is a whole team working or if it is a one man show, but if it is the latter, it’s understandable that there would be a delay in communication if they were bogged down with orders which ate up all their time. But if that was the case I feel like promising that all emails would be responded to daily when that is a promise they cannot live up to is just priming people to be worried when they send multiple emails without a reply. I’d rather the updates say that they are super busy and will get to everyone’s emails but there may be a delay as they also need to focus on getting orders out as well. Idk that’s just my perspective and it’s possible there are others out there who were getting replies within a day and their orders sent out within 48hrs of the payment. But if this was a problem that the majority of recent customers faced I feel like being a little more transparent about the realistic delays would make me feel more confident in them as a vendor as at least I could trust that they will live up to what is posted on their announcements section of their website
I wouldn’t have an issue, if he came out and said he’s swamped with orders and getting caught up, and replying to emails.
However I’ve been trying to get in contact with him since basically the start of December when I still had a working promo code.I just wanted clarification on a few things.
I never send emails over and over, I’m not going to beg anyone to order, Since marketplaces on Darknet there’s TONS of different options And Personally I’m not a fan of any vendors that don’t respond to emails, Just a simple update is fine but absolutely 0 comms? Not a good way to do it.
Especially when clearly stating on website and here, that Hes caught up and replying to all emails and as well as got everyone squared away when that’s clearly not the case.
Thats not me guessing, I’m strictly speaking of my own personal experience and the majority of messages on here show that communication is almost non existent.
Even after coming on and said
“Email me again, I’ll respond “
or the other day on here and his site stating tracking assigned and everything sorted.
Then after a few people state otherwise about no comms or update on ship
(including myself) he updates that some packages were missed but got them taken care of.
On top of having these so many issues with order’s, dropped the minimum $140 so new people could try smaller amounts as well which is cool, but that’s opening up to several more new subscribers coming in when there’s still unresolved stuff going on still from December. Why not clear first make sure to clear up any issues/confusion or backlog beforehand . Just my opinion.
If It hadn’t been mentioned on here about the SR not being in stock
no one would know it going by the store/site. I’m not telling anyone how to run things but if you know you don’t have a popular magazine on the shelves, then wouldn’t it be best to mention that on the site that way people don’t even bother subscribing to the SR until it actually is available.
That alone would stop customers from sending donations for that mag & getting frustrated in turn leading to extra emails on top of many others trying to get in contact wanting to know about order situations already ongoing.
In what world are people not entitled that update/information when sending their hard earned funds to a store that only exists because of those people who subscribe.
I know Rifts stuff is quality but I can’t think of anyone who wants to wait 10-20+ days for
US2US &have to go back and forth just to get their subscription.
If he was from outside the country then I could understand the amount of days but not the lack of communication.
My experience with online Clearnet & Darknet going back to around 2010 ish onwards
ive worked with services in the country to all around the world and even the ones that R from extremely Far, If dropped off within 72hrs after donating it’s around 20days give or take to touchdown.
My main service was across the globe and rarely did it take more than 8-10 days to land!
A few others were literally in damn near middle of nowhere with a crappy,
Un trustable Mail system but somehow managed to fly in, in very reasonable timeframe.
I mentioned this cause
US2US shouldn’t take this long. If things were just simply packed, and dropped off it wouldn’t either.
It would be one thing if it was actual situations after already in route to people but for many that’s clearly not the case.
I totally understand people need a few days- week break, especially if it’s one or two ppl trying to juggle everything and is grinding to keep things going smoothly, many don’t realize how much goes on behind all this/ but at the same time if you’re telling everyone all is good, no issues, everything is on track, responding to everyone etc but actions show completely different then it’s pretty much only a few things that could be going on.
Some people getting packs , some taking forever, or still trying to get it all sorted and get in contact.
this could be easily worked out and avoided is all I’m saying.
