Title: Received product VERY late- happened to you o_0?
Post by: zvp1014 on June 20, 2013, 06:19 pm
So in early March, I purchased some LSD from a reputable vendor. It didn't arrive, so we agreed to file deadline extension tickets; but pretty soon it was mid-April and the product still hadn't arrived.

The seller offered me a 50% refund, which I accepted.

It's now late June. I went to check my mail, and found an international package. Within it was the product I'd ordered in early March. It was a very nice surprise as I've been without acid for ages.

Anybody have similar experiences? Should I inform the seller as an act of courtesy? I currently can't repay the 50% refund I got, though to be honest a 50% discount seems fair for an item that arrived four months late.

I have had a order that is 10 days late, but 4 months is a really long time.
Keep your money, and enjoy your trip.

Send him a thank you and update your feedback. I wouldn't offer to pay as you had to wait so long, but a thank you and feedback repair is plenty!

This is what I decided to do. I presume it was the international mailing system that fucked up, given how other reviews of the vendor are overwhelmingly positive.

The only other time I waited a long while for an order was from Lucydrop; and given how Lucydrop was a gigantic scammer, the product that arrived was 10 blotters with the strength of two.

That's what I would do. 4 months is hilariously unacceptable. I guess it's not his fault though. Keep your money and enjoy your abnormally late acid.

If I were a vendor I would tell you to keep the money anyway as it is too long to reasonably wait for product but I would also politely remind you I had actually sent them and you were "free to do business" with me as I hadn't ripped you off (not the best way to write it but im stoned and you get my drift right ?)

Honestly, if my product takes 4 months to arrive, whether it is your fault or not, I will not do business with you again.

I waited three and a half weeks for a priority mail envelope last month.

Yeah I agree with you I wouldn't buy off them again either I was stating it from a vendors point hence the "If I were a vendor" starting the sentence, I just assume that it would be in their interest to maintain good customer service even if it's only a small chance of repeat custom there's the forums and I suspect they hold some sway for new customers.

Right, I understood you. I was making a separate point. No amount of customer service and reassurance would convince me to put myself in a situation where I spent 4 weeks waiting for a package and thinking I lost 50% of my money for nothing.. There are other vendors out there.

If I were a vendor I'm not exactly sure I'd want to do business with an individual again, given how I had to refund them 50% due to an enormously long shipping time. I wouldn't want the same problem to arise in another order.

From a purchasers perspective, I'm a bit disappointed. I'd wanted to order changa from this vendor (as I could never properly smoke DMT crystals), but I'm not thinking that's a good idea given how long it took my acid to arrive.
