Rarechems/Freshchems

@DoomKitty I'm really bummed that I read about this different shipping method before placing my most recent order. I just didn't understand and it seemed like I would be paying more money for a similar delivery time. So fingers crossed on mine, I'll update when I see whats up. 

 
@DoomKitty other than CC it's been a minute since i did nl direct - has it gotten like really reallly really bad? that would be quite sad. 

@Wellimstucknow in my experience (which does not add up to much compared to doomkitty) if your order was under a couple grams or sometimes even like 3 or 4 it still has a decent chance of landing. Unless things, nl wise, have just turned to complete shit like it's sort of starting to sound like 😭

 
@DoomKitty I figured, I was just hoping it was personal preference and not actually true. Seems to be the case, though, I’ve had an increased number of CC packs lost before they stopped shipping to the US. Just placed my first Rarechems order and cheaped out on the shipping, hope things turn out alright. 

 
@veggieragz  I def will go for non-NL shipping if its offered and not absurdly priced, but I have no real idea what happens in customs and if more packs are actually seized from NL versus other EU countries, but that is what most people think.  Seeing as how the vast majority of RC packs are shipped via NL it would stand to reason that most would be seized from there as well, and therefore would appear that they are "more watched."  It honestly all seems pretty fucking random to me.   In the last year i only had 1 NL-shipped pack not land.  Never got an LL for it, so i figure it was either swiped along the way somewhere or seized in NL customs.  I never ordered more than 5g and usually kept it below 3g.  Makes it more expensive as far as not getting the bulk deals,  but way rather lose a little than a lot.  I have no idea if there are more seizures in general these days or not. 

@Godzilla Hope yr pack lands safely and soonly!    

 
Man I tried to check them out but it says site down for maintenance. I’m bummed. I’ve been out of the scene since 2016 but want to check out the new Noids. Used LSRC for years but am seeing mixed reviews for them. I don’t know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 
Been wanting to give these guys a shot. Went for the non-nl as recommended. Will update with progress.

 
@swifTinator @Pilliam Albion's latest 4F is pretty awesome.  Same "powdered sugar" texture as the oldschool PGC stuff, not quite as clean, but pretty darn good.   (IDK, maybe I'll try washing some for kicks....)

Get your temp.pm ready to send at 10:00:00.01AM PST Monday ;-)

I ordered a magazine from them on September 30. Non NL shipping. Haven't received anything yet. Still waiting 

 
So I'm just assuming no one has received a letter from this place. Hehehe. Just a joke. Anyone, please share your shipping times. I know the shipping from them is longer now. Just trying to get an idea. 

 
I am 0 for 3.  But, they have been in constant contact and doing everything they can to retain.  To me that says a lot.  Will continue to monitor. 

 
Big thanks to @DoomKitty for suggesting this place. After three lost mags from other European vendors I was a bit hesitant ordering again.

From EU --> USA, using non-NL shipping:
Ordered 9/29
Shipped 10/2
Arrived 10/17

Pleasantly surprised this worked out.

 
I failed and went cheapo on the shipping. Haven't given up hope completely but am kinda discouraged. Went out 19 days ago. 

They are a good shop I've successfully worked with before it's a shame about the shipping situation. 

 
What incredibly stupid timing. After making previous post last night, my magazines swooped in this morning like a hawk. 

9/30 - d

10/2 - s

10/21 - l

This was also a somewhat large order, so it is indeed possible for NL shipping to make it, but I'm sure the extra 20 bucks to shell out for peace of mind would be better. 

Another A+ for rarechems

Like I said they are a quality shop (if not the best straight up), the shipping situation just sucks rn

@DoomKitty well how convenient, you'd already made the thread :) Changed how the search functioned, and now have found what I'm looking for. Thanks everyone for posting their experiences here, thinking I'll be pulling the trigger and joining everyone in the "has my package's wings been clipped? or is it soaring? game.

 
What’s the longest anyone’s gone before receiving an order? I even had a reship from CC 9 days after; that pack landed 3 weeks and some change later. But now it’s already 1 month and 3 days passed the initial order. I did cheap out on the shipping.   
 

So I guess I’m asking of anyone has beyond this point and still received their pack, or is it a lost cause? 

 
damn, I paid for the shipping, but I'm out a month. does anyone know, after a certain period of time, will they work with U$ customers at all? Despite the passage  on shipping that reads like a strong no to that question on their website. 

It wasn't a huge order but it feels expensive when the pricier shipping doesn't work out lol

  10. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  11. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  15. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  16. 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.

  18. 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
