Quote from: sjg690 on August 08, 2011, 06:17 pmMy only point in bringing up Envious was that a problem with shipping, even a mass problem, could happen to anybody. I went on to say that illy didn't handle the situation nearly as well, although she was in a different set of circumstances.Telling potential vendors not to vend if they are in trouble with the law is an oxymoron. Just being on here presupposes that they are breaking the law, as are we all for buying this stuff. The post office has a task force or entire department or whatever for figuring out how to stop drugs from going through the mail. They confiscate packages all day every day. If somebody sends out ten packages, and the labels were all printed with the same printer and paper, and the same tape was used in the same places, and one of them gets snagged, it stands to reason that they have a protocol in place to scan the system for similar packages. I tend to believe illy in part because I don't think that she's smart enough to make any of this shit up. I don't think that she is a scammer. I think that she put forth her best effort and anybody who ordered from her knew what they were getting into, or should have.Several people did receive from Illy, and were happy. I don't know what the percentage is, as I'm sure that many who did receive did not post on the forums. Those who didn't receive might wish that nobody like Illy shows up in the future, while those who did receive might very well wish to take that chance again. After all, there is NOBODY selling powder H on SR right now. Hell, if Illy showed up tomorrow selling the same thing, I'd take another shot. And why not let her? There is enough information on the boards for people to make an informed decision as to whether to order from her. Yes, we hold vendors to a higher standard. But your typical decent vendor is one that shows up, is solid and legit for a while, and then something happens and they disappear with orders outstanding. This is going to be your most typical case on SR or anywhere else, so you best get used to it. We can only hope for a dozen Enviouses to show up and sell everything our hearts imagine and compete with one another to keep the prices low. Until that happens, I'd settle for a shot to get a few bags from Illy.Just my opinion.The only problem with vending if you are on probation/parole is you have forfeited your fourth amendment rights (the one governing search and seizure). If anything shady happens cops can search your premises with NO permission at all. They don't need a warrant. This only ups the chances that a vendor will go AWOL just the same as Illy did, and everyone will get pissed and call them a scammer. Sure there are ways around this but people that think things through enough to take these precautions probably won't get into trouble with the law in the first place.On another note I have pretty much given up on reupping on the opis... My supplier has been jerking me around for a month now and I am tired of it. If anything changes I will post a thread but until then don't hold your breath people. Sorry.
