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

  1. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  3. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  5. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  7. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  9. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  11. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  17. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  18. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
