Hi there, my fellow DBGers. I guess I could be categorized as a "luker," although I don't really like that term because I come here and read and read and read...yet never contribute. And I've just decided...that's just not fair. Time to give back, if only a little.
After lurking here and coming upon this site about A, and all the incredible reviews people were giving him, especially Mr. Crowley, I was in "desperato mode" because my go-to guy for over a year jumped ship or something...not sure WHAT happened to him, but I HAD to find something....and FAST.
After reading this thread about 20 times, I finally decided to take the plunge. I had NO other options at this point, so this was a total crap shoot on my part.
I e-mailed Alex on Monday, 1/5. He responded back, literally, not even a minute later, very pleasant, and sent me his price list.
I e-mailed him back, told him what I wanted, that I was kind of desperate at this point, and asked if there's any this could go out on Monday, January 5th. He said I had missed the cutoff, so it wouldn't be processed or the money picked up until Tuesday morning.
I took a deepth breath, and said, "Okay, Alex, that's great. Thank you SO much!"
I was literally shit*ing bricks waiting on this order, because I was NOT feeling well AT ALL.
So this is the synopsis of my order:
Placed order with A on 1/5
Missed the cutoff, so knew it wouldn't ship until 1/6 ("freaking out" would be an understatement)
Order arrived, as promised, on 1/7.
I swear to god, I wanted to kiss the delivery guy. I was so damn sick for those two days waiting (Monday and Tuesday), and SERIOUSLY didn't think I'd make it until Wednesday when my order came. I was THIS close to going to the hospital. I was suffering like you wouldn't believe.
I'll spare you the gory details, but I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. Just THE most brutal days I've ever gone through. Didn't even think I could make it from my bed to the front door where the package was dropped off. THAT'S how bad I was feeling. But I KNEW I had to get those damn things.
I managed to sit up in my bed, take a deep breath, and try to stand (which was an insurmountable task at this point in time). I did not have the strength to make it from one room to the next. God, it was just SO awful.
As soon as I stood up from my bed, I felt like I was going to pass out, because I was unable to eat or even keep a sip of water down before it came right back up again. Vomiting 24/7 for 3 days. Kinda wishing I was dead, honestly.
But I just took it slow, kept taking deep breaths, held on to walls and tables and whatever ELSE I could find that I could lean on and rest for a second, squatting down every few seconds, because I did not have the energy or strength to even walk at that point. Every time I stood up, I was on the verge of just fainting right on the spot.
Talk about brutal, man. Mother of god, it was just pure torture.
I finally made it to my front door (in my crouching position...because that was the only way I could make it there), grabbed on to the doorknob and opened my door.
And there, in all its glory, was my order.
Sorry for all that background info, but felt it was needed to for you all to understand what I went through. So if you've gotten this far reading this, thank you.
So this is my final synopsis of my first order with Alex:
- Placed my very first order with him on 12/5. Seeing I missed the cutoff time, he apologized and said it would be processed and the money picked up on Tuesday, which it was. He said I would be receiving my tracking number on Tuesday early evening, for overnight delivery by 10:30 a.m.
- Was too sick to even turn my computer on and see if I had a tracking number. How f*cked up is THAT? THAT is how sick I was. I was "this close" to calling an ambulance. No lie.
- Received my order on1/8.
Thank you, fu*king, Jesus.
Sorry my first post on this forum was so long. I just felt the need to tell you how grateful I am that A kept his word and came though...exactly how he said he was going to.
A++ in my book. (And I know....not that my opionion is going to be valued too much, if at all, seeing I'm a newbie and this is my first EVER post.)
Just wanted to share my experience with you all...because I feel like I just can't let this go without telling all of you how incredible he was.
Hope I didn't bore you all to death, and I'm PRAYING I didn't break any rules. But for what it's worth, that's my two cents about A.
I love this board, and want to thank all of the people who take the time to post here and are so willing to share their experiences.
It has been a life-saver to me....truly. So thank you.
