ArtemisLab and OldBraves

Got my third touchdown from this guy. He’s been on point. And his prices are pretty good for most things and competitive for others.

Sounds like this Artemis guy is just another drop shipper, in a world of drop shippers, that’s in over his head with orders because he got too big too quick to handle the volume. Now he’s mixing up orders and his comms are crap to make matters worse. The ridiculously high markup on prices for most items, no pictures with any sort of logo or writing to verify they have physical possession, and the fact packs are coming with different packaging from multiple locations across the country, are all dead giveaways of a drop shipper.

It’s weird to me that people would rather pay double, and get the customer service equivalent of a Ryan Air passenger, rather than going through a real vendor that stocks their product and charges reasonable prices and takes time to answer questions (sometimes even chats you up, just because). Anyways, to each their own I suppose

Yeah, he is a drop shipper... like so many other vendors.

Artemis has been around for awhile. It seems like he might be going down the same path so many once-reputable vendors have followed. Hopefully not.

Maintaining professional communication with clients is important, but as an aside, I can understand why someone who works in this area might want to limit personal interactions with their customers.

Yeah I worked with Artemis/The Reverend for a long time years back and he was always spot on. Still no response on a $300 magazine that was left out of an order and it’s been a month now. Disappointed because I trusted him and I’ve bought upper thousands of mags from him- def a drop shipper. Hopefully he’ll get back to me and make things right but these recurring incidents have really made me lose faith in my previous go-to.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. A month is a long time. He hasn't responded to you whatsoever? How often has this been happening lately? The time-frame and the fact that he isn't corresponding with you are bad signs.

He's not doing any favors for himself when it comes to his reputation.

I hope things look up for you, Manic. I want to believe that he will fix this for you. Let us know if this ever gets resolved.

Wishing you guys a relaxing holiday weekend. ☮

Thanks man it ended up alright- just got a random pack in the mail of a similar item, pretty close in $ and effect but no warning and never directly answered my question about it haha just said still open for business; I’d stay away I’ve found others that fulfill the same needs without the shadiness he’s taken on. Damn tho RIP to the Reverend in terms of full trust- did you ever know Squirrel on tele??? Been trying to track him down too think he had some link to Artemis

This is a few weeks late but for my pack as usual. Artemis always has my favorite reading materials and for decent prices.

Drop shipper? No. Sometimes it’s a bit sad that vendors do not get to make their case.
I’ve been around since 2018 and personally, it’s been a journey- not smooth. I think most people who have worked with Artemislab can testify to the experience that came with it.
I’ve not been one to shy away from the challenges that come with doing what I do. They’ve thought me lessons. I always say there’s a reason for me being around this long.. I’ve seen top vendors come and go. Berg, Hoff, clearnet sites etc. it’s no coincidence that I’m still here. The end of 2024 was a turbulent time for me personally but that’s not something I’d explain to everyone right? I still did my best to make I filled in the best way I could.
Well I’ve understood that no matter how much you put in, you can’t satisfy everyone and that’s a reality I’ve come to accept. At some I believe everyone will understand.
As an aside, there are loads of media that was always posted with “The Reverend” logo and “Artemislab” signature. More to, I’ll explain to you the concept of my pricing; product quality, customers protection, my safety- this is exactly what you pay for when you buy from me. Runners are paid per order, different drops (always 2 at a time, and rotated but anyone who was worked with me for over 6 months know I always just rotated around the same points) for different products has been a lifeline for me and a very big reason as to why I’m still around.
Like I always say, you can absolutely always find cheaper but that depends on 2 things;
- your worth
- your moneys worth.
Ps: this doesn’t have to be agreed with by everyone, but it is my personal opinion and view.
Artemis

Dealt with Artemis about 3 years ago did 4 orders all excellent. Reconnected with him said he had this and that and then he went silent and will not respond to be. I did absolutely nothing wrong we were shooting the shit he was telling me about how x and y product was great and I have to order I asked him about ordering and poof he was gone.

I emailed him thinking he knew it was me he didn’t he responded and kinda got the deer in the headlights look and was like “oh hey yeah send me your order tonight”

Sent it and nothing. We were close so idk if he doesn’t wanna scam me, any regular scammer would take $900+ and run. He was always paranoid particularly with shipping. Besides that he WAS great. Don’t know what’s going on, but right now I’d stay away of go absolute minimum say you needa test order and lost alot of money this week. Please keep me updated!
