Look at prices. Compare. As someone TOLD ME here on the board. They asked, isn't it better to wait a few days a spend half the money? Yes, you have to deal with the occasional LL (seiz...) but it all comes down to money - and sometimes quality too. From all "overseas" IOP's I have played with, everything has come in it's original wrapper... Vendors from mex ship in different ways than International....I had a mex vendor tell me yesterday that they do not ship the candy in the wrapper because of the "shake, rattle, and roll" that one can detect??? So, the answer to the question is - COST. An IOP, TTM, they offer "insurance." Check it out.
For the record, we are discussing something that does not belong in this thread - just so you will know for the future. For me, it was the only way to let you know... BUT NO MORE discussing various vendors in this thread as Admin would say.
ADMIN -- if there is a way to move this to general talk about vendors or something, that would be GREAT! thanx
