It's been 3 weeks since DOP and still no sign that vendor is going to hold up their end of the business agreement as nothing has shown up on ID. I have been patient and understanding, and haven't pried too much on order status. I stated a week ago that I would be reaching out for a refund in a few days if nothing changed. I am still waiting for them to get in touch with me but their business model seems to be very avoidant and unreliable as a communicator. This seems to be a recurring problem with other customers.
I left a positive review not long ago for two orders of ben20fury mags that went seamlessly and arrived in gold standard time, however, I will have to update that review until further action on behalf of the vendor. I would go through with the order as originally planned if vendor was more forthright in communication, but I am currently running out of time, and have settled on just wanting my money back.
I originally rated 10/10 for communication, but the updated score will reflect 6/10; speed I rated 10/10, and the updated score will now reflect 5/10, and reliability which I didn't rate originally, I will now rate as a 5.5/10. I would be very happy to bump these new ratings up if vendor reached out and informed me on the status of my order, or sent me my money back, but until then I would urge potential customers that unless you want or really need more rare magazines, you will be better off, less stressed, and more satisfied going to someone with a more consistent track record.
I will be patiently awaiting their correspondence.
