Chica (aka Alondra) and Santos

[Mr. Crowley]

It truly pains me to place her here, but unfortunately I feel I was left no choice.   Chica (aka, Alondra) was a terrific vendor who saved my bacon on many occassions.  She was quick to make things right and would customize orders for my specific needs.   She showed tremendous trust, letting me use cash-in-mail (CIM) and shipping before receiving.    Several months ago, she started working with a partner named Santos.   I made a few smallish orders just to keep a back-up and everything ran smoothly, other than she had a difficult time keeping things in stock.

During the last week of March, I ordered 70 Rox from her.   Santos sent them the standard SY way.   As soon as I received them, I noticed that they seemed slightly thicker than regular Mboxes.  I chewed on one and instantly knew that they were counterfeit.   They seemed to be make out of some kind of pressed paper, they were slightly chewy and tasted of lilac or soap.   When I say chewy, I mean you could not crush them into powder even if you wanted to (which I don't).  I also tested them with a Marquis reagent test (no reaction).  I immediately let both of them know.    

I also let them know that due to this unfortunate event (which I believe was unintentional), I would need to seek out a medical detox.   So, I told them I would contact them back in 4-5 days to work out how I could return the meds and resolve the problem.   So, beginning around the first of April, I have emailed them at their various email addresses (see below) and have tried to contact them through a secure texting app that we had used in the past.   I have received ZERO follow-up.    I think I have been more than patient and should they make an attempt to resolve this issue, I will promptly remove them from the blacklist and do whatever I can to clear their name.

Until then, I would absolutely avoid this vendor:

​While I have never heard of this vendor/vendor's, it really does suck when they go bad. Especially one that you have used many times and trust between both parties has been established. Hopefully they will make things right for you Mr.C but once that trust has been broken, I find it hard to go back to the way things were before.

Sad situation  Mr C

I hope something gets resolved ASAP.  Bad things happening to good people.

no stock and take funds is all I have heard through a close friend.

 

[Mr. Crowley]

I hate to see this happen to someone.  I have always received what I ordered from this vendor in the past.  If anyone besides Mr Crowley has received bad product please post asap.  Need to weed the good from the bad here!

Me too!   I had well over a dozen good experiences, then THIS!   I was very close to working with Cat and Admin to add this vendor to the board.

I understand that there are certain posters who also post on PR who think that this is some kind of "payback" for being banned from PR.   I don't know how one would come to that conclusion given that Chica had nothing to do with PR.   I encourage anyone to read any of my posts from PR or on this board and see if I ever come off as a "vindictive" person.   

I can certainly understand other customers being surprised.  Honestly, given my history with this vendor, I would have been skeptical had it not happened to me.   I'm still not sure exactly WHAT happened.   All I know is that I'm sitting on a lot of bunk meds and can not get the vendor to reply to me.

If you are in contact with this vendor, ask her about this.   Better yet, have her contact me.    And if you have any questions or if you feel there are any contradictions in my story, ask them publicly (or privately).   I will answer any questions you have.

What's incredible, and I guess just naive on my part, is that I still want to believe there is some kind of explanation.

Good lord, I can't believe what I just read over there!  What is happening to that board? It's like the Salem witch trials.

I always thought of PR as a friendly place, but from what goes on in the SY section there now, I'm changing my mind.

Shockingly, zero responses.   Hmm....
