because I did get 2Gs of a product, so it would be fair of them to ask for payment for the other sample, but they said don’t worry they’ll take care of it. I don’t even want to be a dick to you, but you’re harming the reputation of a vendor that has nothing to deserve it and I feel the need to speak up.
Try being patient and respectful next time. Everybody makes mistakes - fears of being scammed are obviously warranted but your “evidence” of it is weak. And as to them not emailing you back, I wouldn’t really want to email you either so I don’t blame them.
Next time maybe sit down with a cup of relaxing tea before going on tirades about scams designed in your mind.
Yes still not on 17track. Clearly you’re unaware of the scam where you’re given a tracking number and a custom portal to track through, showing updates, customs issues, delivery attempts, etc just depends on the scam.
Again, all I did was make a post mentioning that you may not be able to track through normal, trusted channels. With a new vendor, that’s completely fair. You know what this site is for right? The best thing that could’ve been done here is for him to either not say nothing on here and respond to me via email, wait a few weeks for it to be delivered, see me post a great review, and watch a flood of orders come in. That’s what potential customers are looking for. Instead he misrepresents me and what I said. You have no idea what/how our email correspondence went down, so disregard your opinion there.
ONCE AGAIN, I didn’t say he scammed me. I pointed out I had to use a non-secure (http rather than https) tracking portal which pointed directly to a server IP. If that’s not a red flag, I don’t know what is. Not unheard of, but (in my over a decade in this business experience), more often than not it that’s indicative of a scam. Not every time though. I’ll repeat my point as clearly as possible this time.
If you decide to order from this vendor, you may get a tracking number which can’t be tracked through normal channels. This being a new vendor, that is indeed reason to “proceed with caution”. I hope in a week or two I get to make a post that the eagle has landed, and a few weeks later the lcms test results. Which literally only stand to help this guy and the community. Maybe, I keep them to myself now, who knows.
I get it you’re trying to help him. You’re probably reading his mags right now, but I assure you, you’re not. Making me spell all this out was far worse. I would dm you but you’re not even a contributor, and your account was created about a month before his, so I don’t know why I’d take anything you say into consideration.
