ArtemisLab and OldBraves

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

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!

  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  5. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  6. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  11. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  12. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  13. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  14. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  16. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
  17. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Wow, for real ? You renewed your DL and without you knowing or having to present documents in person, they did it online? It has the star on top right and says "Rea: ID" Mine says ' NOT A Real ID" . I never knew what a Real ID was and never bothered to ask - I think I somehow was under the impression that it was for either military / gov't workers who had to travel over seas. WRONG lol.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: I already have one and didn't even realize it. I renewed my ID online about 6 months ago and I just looked at it today and it is a Real ID.
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 mine was duped , too. Not sure why or how my msg. duped. IMO that guy if serious and smart wouldn’t advertise with you
  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I wish I had it when I flew to Vegas in 2022. The TSA line for Real ID passengers was short. Now it’s probably going to be crazy .
