Ploop

[ps2556]

cool i recieved list from him but prices for vlume was too high compared to my usual suspects

 

[Lucyinthesky]

I agree with ps2556! Shipping is cheaper though.

Indeed, Ploop's pricing is quite a bit higher than that of other commonly discussed vendors. That said, with a $40 minimum order and inexpensive shipping, he's obviously targeting a different market segment, that being those who can't afford bulk purchases from Serb vendors, SY minimum orders, etc. His services may not be for everyone, but he does provide a valuable service to a large demographic as a reliable, domestic vendor.

I've used him in between orders from max/pink, etc + for some of his "harder to get" items. 2-3 things on his list I've never seen elsewhere. So I agree, he's a good resource I've utilized a few times.

Well, the best analogy I have for vendors like Ploop is the difference between a convenience store on a lake in the middle of nowhere vs. Costco. You pay quote a bit more at the corner market for the same thing in exchange for the convenience and not having to purchase in bulk.

Not the sort of vendor for my personal needs generally speaking, but as GDX points out, vendors like this are a great "in between orders" option, and sometimes offer interesting HTF products. And hey, variety and ready availability are good things.

 

[ps2556]

i certainly agree with the HTF stuff cause he's the only one who actually has v cuts (<--if that words arent aloud sorry please remove)

Ploop is a awesome backup, Oh yes he's but when waitiing on a delayed order he is a good quick fix.

I was hoping to see geocat post his review on the samples he got, may need to see if he even posted since then. /default_ohmy.png

WTH? The text just turned into .25 instead of 8. I've had this happen, using opera, but never this bad. Hope I'm hitting the right keys, can't see the text....

Hello Members,

Haven't posted in quite some time.  Poked around here a while back for Xan sources.  Had plenty of success with a variety of vendors such as PCU, ClubAlp, Mr. D and SL to name a few.  I settled down and started and started using SL all the time and stopped checking out the forum and posting, MISTAKE! 

I had almost ran out of stock and ordered from SL as usual.  Nothing ever came, I e-mailed Jim he responded saying he noticed mail had been slow lately not to worry, nothing ever came.  Came back to the forum, no SL in the usual place, as you all know I found him in the blacklist section, I couldn't believe it!  Anyway, off topic, off topic and I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing how Jim is still ripping people off, back on topic.

I came back and looked around, read through here, decided to take the "ploop plung" as you all put it.  Here is what went down:

Contacted Ploop asked for current stock list and prices, no problem he sends it over.  I decided to place a small order for P brand 2mg bars.  I purchased a MPak and e-mailed the specifics with the Pak number.  Now, I ran into a problem.  I don't want to get into specifics here for a couple of reasons, but here is the important thing, I received my small sample order!  So as others have posted, he is for real.

As stated, very fast shipping.  As stated, packaging isn't the greatest but it doesn't have to be considering lower 48 US to US shipping.  I can tell you the packaging was good enough that not one bar was damaged or broken.  I never ordered P brand bars before so I can't compare but they look real good, I inspected them carefully.  As stated, they are thicker than ALP bars, a little wider too.   They are scored on both sides with xan~ down one side and a large 2 on the other.  I tried a half last night for the real test, yep, at least that bar is real, I'm sure the rest will be OK too.  Ploop said she/he guaranteed I would be satisfied and I am.

Like others have said, I think Ploop is a good solution for many, especially if your in a pinch like I was.  You pay more but shipping is very fast.  I had cut my reorder with SL too close and after finding I had been ripped off I had ran out of stock.  My Ploop order couldn't have come at a better time.  I will use the Ploopster in the future.

Hey Strangef8,

 I got same item. When in a pinch you can't beat the ploopster, costs more but only takes three days.

Hi all - has anyone tried the add her all instant twenties?

 

[Packrat]

I'm not having any luck with the specific items (instant add her all) I want from him.   He keeps running out, so I ask him to let me know just as soon as he gets some in stock.   He sends an email telling me the item is in stock and I immediately place an order.   I don't hear from him for two days and he then responds saying that he is out again.  For now I am using my regular SY source, but I'd really like to establish a rapport with an alternate.  I'll keep up my friendly attempts to order for now and update with my progress.

I think it might depend on how many you're getting. I ordered 5 yesterday (saturday), so I know he has some in stock as of then. Don't know how many though, might want to email again.

 

[Packrat]

Ugh!   So did I!  I wonder if I offended him somehow?   I specifically said that I would take whatever he had even if it was only a couple.

Frustrating!

 

[Heisenberg / HNB]

I think Ploop is a very busy, slightly un-organized guy, who probably indulges a bit much in his own meds (can you blame him? LOL).  He must have a ton of customers at this point, and its probably hard keeping up who's who, who ordered what, who's waiting for what, etc.  Many of these domestic guys end up going private for these reasons.

Best of luck Packrat!  I've got faith in you brother, hope things will work out soon for you.

I decided to try the poopster after many positive reviews here and was even more thrilled when he let me know he accepted PayPal, so convenient.  The story goes as follows:  [SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]

 

1. he said paypal was available (just a few days before I sent payment), I sent paypal[SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]

2. soon after he cursed me out for sending paypal as the account has been locked (weird and raised a red flag)[SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]

3. I returned some not so nice words and insults (not my best moments) regardless, unless I’m hard hard up for overpriced items I may give the poopster an email. Its www.sendyourmoneydownthedrain.com (jk)[SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]

3. he had such a bad attitude for a new, courteous, and willing customer with no way to retrieve my money (upwards of 500 which I’ll probably never see again)[SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]

 

If you do order from him use Money Pak, much easier but I don't know what the end result will be.  Hope all works out[SIZE=9pt][/SIZE]

 

A number of positive reviews on him so maybe my experience was an anomaly but its so infuriating.  Also if he wasn't friends to dispute my account of what happened PM me or a mod, I made them aware of the issue as well with proof.  

I'm starting to wonder if he is Jesse from Breaking Bad.

Maybe he just hates the NY Giants so he's f'n with you?

Yeah, he probably is a Cowboys fan, and thinks Tony Romo is an "elite quarterback", LOL! Of course, I'd speculate that anyone who thinks Tony Romo is an elite quarterback MUST be partaking of their own supply!
