product: f̛͎̉x̶̮͌ḙ̂͠ (c̴͉̾a̙̽̕n̥̈́́k̟̂́ȩ͖̇ț̸̽ )
processing: 5/5 - payment receipt sent within an hour - in and out, no shenanigans.
shipping: 2/5 - i really hate to knock off so many points here looking at everyone else's review but this was the fault of another person involved lying to uncharted about when my package was dropped off by almost a week. officially scanned in for acceptance on the 17th, almost
10 whole days from when i ordered. i actually received my mags about 2 days after it was scanned in but unfortunately i can't give back points to the vendor for happenings on the pony boy's side. i
do not expect this to be an issue in future orders but the fact of the matter is it
was an issue for
this order and i have to give an honest review. total turnaround was about 11 days which isn't
terrible but it's not particularly good for domestic either.
stealth: 5/5 - some others have mentioned it could be a bit better but it's honestly pretty standard compared to other vendors i've ordered from unless you're expecting a d3c0y which has honestly always seemed kinda overkill for domestic imo unless you're picking up weight or multiple magazines.
communication: 5/5 - very quick response times, extremely cordial and clearly knowledgeable about the business they're operating. there was a lot of back and forth between us before i even placed an order and they never expressed any irritability about the fact. i also wholly appreciate uncharted keeping tabs on my order as opposed to me constantly having to ping them about it first.
product quality: 5/5 - comparable to the same product provided by a highly regarded approved vendor here, nothing really in particular to mention here; it's exactly what is advertised which is a lot to ask given the recent ban.
affordability: 5/5 - i received 3 extra pages than i ordered which is almost double my order; to say i got a steal would be an understatement. very competitive prices and decent discounts for higher amounts.
other notes: as i mentioned in a previous comment in this thread, i was recently scammed (for the first time ever, mind you) by another "new" vendor that ghosted me after about 3 days for the same magazine after insisting my subscription had shipped and i would receive a refund if it was lost, the usual spiel.
i appreciate uncharted for being patient with me asking about tracking on more than one occasion before their 10 day rule and am grateful that i wasn't blacklisted or anything for it. typically i'm not as antsy when waiting for subscriptions but the week without seeing anything on ID just added to the anxiety. you shouldn't expect anymore "where is my subscription" type emails from me the future.
all in all this is an awesome vendor that offers great price points for the magazines they offer and i really hope they stay around for a while and maintain the same consistency throughout. great to have you here on dbg, and thanks again for what you do and restoring my faith in trusting new vendors despite the hiccups along the way.
