In between Ben's family crisis and the most recent vacation, I ordered a 10 pack of OC 80's and a 5 pack of OC 80's. The 10 pack was ordered the first weekend of them re opening from the crisis. It arrived the following Wednesday as all of pharmvilles' packages have. (Placed over weekend arrived Wednesday). I went to the location I use for the shipping address and found the package 5 pieces short. In my anger I messaged PV and blamed him for shorting me. After a long response from PV explaining how indeed 10 were sent I recapped my situation. The "friend" who's address I use had already opened the package and was suspiciously high.
I explained these details to PV and he gave his condolences. Not only that, he offered me a smoking deal on 80s to recuperate from my loses. Truly a professional and courteous Vendor.
This last weekend, Specifically the 9th of March, I ordered a 5 pack of OC same dosage. As Wednesday approached I eagerly awaited my package and my business partner and I made some moves in expectation of a similar delivery time of Wednesday. The package did not arrive. It has yet to arrive as well. I have sent a couple messages to PV in regards to the missing package.
This has me concerned, not about PV credibility however. Here's what I think could have happened.
1. The package was sent late. PV updated statuses early in preparation for this absence. The package will arrive early this week.
2. The package was sent on time and was inspected by USPS and was seized.
3. The package was not sent due to internal hold ups with PV. The shipping update was a mistake.
4. The package was about to be sent, however, something all vendors fear happened to PV thus explaining his mysterious absence with no notification.
No matter what happened, I believe I will either receive my product or full refund. I stayed within escrow as I will never for FE for any vendor for any reason because in this business shit happens. When buyers FE you are negating this fact and asking to lose your investment. This is still the "black" market despite genuine attempts to open the blinds, the fact remains.
I ordered with a trusted vendor and used the system SR has in place for security. Only because of this am I worry free about the current situation. To Killboy and all those other buyers in similar situations as me I say keep the faith, learn from your mistakes, use the system in place and have patience. To my knowledge my 400$ package is the highest missing package from PV as of late. Be thankful it is Pharmville he is literally the most trustworthy person on SR.
Good Day.

yes, going from priority to first class could have accounted for the extra 4 days, even before all of the layoffs. several big processing plants have been shut down lately, causing rerouting of packages. it's lousy what is going on with the usps, but thats the blow it has taken from our digital frontier. i know more about the inner workings of the post office than i would like to, i won't get into how.
-
lol be glad u got anything.. im still waiting 14 days now for a reply, i have no clue if my order has shipped.. (800$+ order)
-
Yeah, I seriousley doubt my package will come at this point. Thank god I stayed in escrow. I hope those guys arent in jail. My messages have went unanswered. All I ordered was 85.00 worth thank god.

You would think that one of them would at least take a android running orweb on vacation. How do they just ignore these problems? Im sure that I will get a refund so long as they never come back. how does that work? If I go to resolution and they never respond? I am kinda sketched out now about future purchases. What do you think?

You really need to calm down bud, you're starting to annoy me, fuck.
It may be that you'll never receive your package, but you just said you stayed in escrow and your order was a pitiful $85. Shit happens to all us, deal with it and move on, stop going to every single PV thread you can find and make multiple freak out posts. You definitely need that xanax/val/whatever that you ordered from PV lol. I've had a package from a reliable vendor never show up and it pissed me off cuz it put me out more then $400 (they offered me a 50% refund on $800 ... EVENTUALLY which was very generous and I don't fault the vendor. I was PATIENT and waited as long as it took to be resolved).
"How do they just ignore these problems?"
That's EXACTLY what you need to do if shit starts going down. You need to get the fuck out and get the fuck as far away from the problem as you can.
I believe their absence is strongly motivated by DPR's change to seller fee's because Alex was NOT HAPPY.
"I am kinda sketched out now about future purchases. What do you think?"
I'm thinking perhaps you should ... never purchase from a vendor.
I've watched this unfold and the vast majority of your complaints have been over this WEEKEND when mail isnt even shipped !!! Add to that that you're going into multiple threads freaking out saying the same thing, all over a package that's what 7 day's since shipment now? There have recently been major layoff's in the postal system and it's tax filing time you do know that right?
I'm not trying to be a dick, but from the vendor's angle consider just how difficult your behavior makes their job when they also have 5, 10, 20, whatever customers also expecting their packages to arrive rapidly.
I know this post is pure trolling but to be completely blunt when I came browsing into this thread and saw another TWO posts from you complaining about the exact same thing (and then admit that you're in escrow with a tiny purchase so really have absolutely no reason to bitch or complain whatsoever) it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
I really do hope you get your package, but in all honesty if you are going to be getting this upset with packages being a few day's late (you still don't know you won't get it, it's only been a few day's, you're impatient as hell dude) then perhaps SR isn't for you and you should stick to the streets?

Damn Im really starting to get PO'd with all this "so and so has went MIA [for like 48 hours] so [insert a bunch of bullshit here]" Pharmville has been one of the most reputable and professional vendors on here since before I was here. They posted a lengthy message explaining WTF was going on even though they don't owe anyone any kind of damn explanation whatsoever. Does your local drug dealer call you and let you know when they gonna be gone on vacation or out of something?? HELL NO.. and they don't owe anyone that kinda information anyways... all this fucking complaining and whining makes me wanna pull my hair out.

yeah, i think this pharmville bullshit has gone on long enough. theres been threads about them pulling crap for like 2 months now. unfortunately with their volume and small operation im sure things get a little messed up. while they are ramping up for their return though, im sure their main priority is backlogged orders and issues from before they went on hiatus. that means returning pms, making sure all orders are out and satisfying any and all complaints. if something happened with your order, im sure they will make it right unless of some act of god(LE). patience. if you had a problem with an order, let them know and im sure they were make it right. they haven't pulled a hybridmike and absconded with everyones money. patience people

To be frank your post is a little uncalled for. Pharmville has been MIA since March 15th which is running on 5 days today. Luckily, I stayed in escrow and have faith for PV and am not stressing out. However, PV never once said he would be absent from replying to messages on SR or on the forum. When a drug dealer has 400$ of mine and I am expecting him to return with the "package" at the same time he always does and he is more than 4 days late from the expected delivery I would of course do everything I can to reach him. Call his phone = leave PM's. See if my friends have seen him = search the forums for similar experiences. Then tell other friends about my experience and get some feedback whether positive or negative = Post in forms explaining my situation. The fact is he does owe an explanation when there are multiple orders missing/late. Once these situations are handled by either the arrival of package, refund of funds, or a simple DCN number then by all means he doesn't owe anything to anybody. But this is not the case. The truth is, if this were any other vendor it would not be acceptable nor it is acceptable for PV. At the very least, send some DCN numbers.
Just to restate my standing: I trust PV to pull through, I stayed in escrow and I am still a loyal PV customer. All I ask is for a little respect to be shown and recieve a DCN or a quick PM reinforcing the status of my package.

I sure hope that one guy who payed 800.00 & fe gets his package. I almost bought a tenpack of 80s when I was making my xanax order but I just didnt feel right about dropping it all on the same vendor. Well, I spread that out and all the other vendors came through and they got good feedback and good reviews. I sure as hell hope nothing bad happened to them. Its weird they disappeared like this.

Ok Mr Frankly... lets see, so the 15th is thursday.. they were here right? They posted they going dark for a while, maybe 2 weeks or maybe a month... and so their missing friday and monday (what you think they supposed to work thru the weekend's for you?) hummm so thats like two days so far (48 hours) according to my calender and the day ain't even over yet... or do you have some kinda other type of calender or something other than the one we use here in reality-land?
Pharmville said straight up they was going dark for a bit and that they would take care of pms and orders that were in with them asap... until some time has passed, like MORE THAN 48 HOURS, Imma say YOUR POST IS UNCALLED FOR.
How about you show them a little respect... give them half a chance before you come on the forums slammin them dude. Don';t be surprised if you get the big <Cancel order> "click" from them in the future when they get back up for being an ass nugger.

This. Especially when it's from a trusted seller, I would give them the benefit of the doubt for more than a week.

so you got a package sent to your friends place first and you think he stole it, yet you leave out if you used the same address for the next package. if you did isnt it possible he stole it again?
-
I know a member should NOT DARE talk about a trusted vendor", but the fact remains that they left a few people in limbo. The fact my order is under 100.00 isn't why I am upset. I am upset because I value my buyer statistics. I haven't got my package and it has been 13 days since I ordered. I do feel bad for Ben and I realize they announced that they had to re-do their setup. This is no reason to just ignore problems.
I don't really know how much I would trust a friends address to ship to. I don't think I would hold a vendor accountable if it never showed up. How would you guys feel if you placed a order and it never was sent or fulfilled? The seller never replies? What makes you all so certain they will come back? If they really did leave or quit selling over the increased fees (as many say this is the problem), there is a good chance they may not be back. Why wouldn't they ship a order somebody paid for? I am not slamming them, hell the reason I chose them was because of their flawless rapport. It is so easy for others to sit back and trash people who genuinely are getting no response. How would you feel? You guys are the ones who told me I couldn't go wrong with PV for my first order.
If I take this order to resolution, will it affect my buyer stats? If it does, I am going to just take the 85.00 loss and let bygones be bygones. Do I sound like a prick for not even trying to dispute it? I don't think so. Is this a good idea?
I could just leave bad feedback and send them a message saying I would fix it if they resent. That way I can save my stats. I have been trying to make small buys with trusted vendors before I start going to newer vendors and this situation just makes it so march harder to build my rep now.
I think the reason people who didn't get their package are so upset is because they are not getting any response, so they have to rely on the escrow system and no body wants to go into resolution with silk-roads best vendor if they can help it. I know I don't want to (especially if it fucks my stats). I feel bad for the guy who FE because they knew how reliable and honest they are.
I really feel sorry for the 3 or 4 people who have spoke out about not getting their packages. I know we should just sit in front of our monitors with our pockets empty and our mouths shut since its a trusted vendor. To those of you who say let them cancel our order, I say great, at least I can use my money that has been tied up for two weeks. I really wish DPR or PV would just spill the beans about what is going on here. PV never said ... "to those of you who placed final orders and may have a problem.......we will not be back"
They acted like they were going to quit selling, but not quit taking care of paying customers. I figured my package might be here today but it wasn't. I know nothing is coming, I get everything so fast, even orders from Friday have arrived ;)
I truly hope Ben and Alex are safe and sound and make a speedy return. I apologize for coming to the thread and telling people about my current situation and first order with you guys. I don't think this is intentional, because I don't think you would try to hurt anyone. Please forgive me If I have said anything harsh, I just am kinda worried. If anyone has any ideas on what I can do to retain my good buyer stats, please let me know. thx

i would probably be more worried about the 25 posts you've made about one small purchase then the one refund on your stats. one refund on your stats can be explained pretty easily.
and seriously after 25 posts you are not even going to go into resolution? if you dont care then why on earth did you post so much on the forum. i actually counted the posts btw i'm not making up that number.

Trying to get answers, some of which are helpful. So if you see a buyer with a 46% refund rate you will still sell to them? Did I say anything mean in my posts? I just asked you to help me figure this crazy shit out.

honestly ive sold to two people with 1 buy and a 100% refund rate.. they both turned out to be a really good customers. Would I do it now? Im not so sure cause all the new people showing up here lately are ummm different than the ones from before. Besides, SR has made it easy for buyers to just throw their old crappy refund rate buyer name in the gutter and join up with another fresh new one so I dont really see how it matters much at all.

this is why i force all 0/0 customers to finalize early now... it sucks for them but i think its pretty obvious im not a scammer... i recently had a customer that didn't ever finalize... it finally got to auto-finalize 17 days later and i got my coins... i deleted the DCN from my file because i figured he was long gone... now he logged in and said he never received... well shit dude sorry but you didn't login for 20 days... it aint my fault you don't think to check your account 20 days after a domestic priority shipment not showing.

I know a member should NOT DARE talk about a trusted vendor",
Not true at all.
Let me tell you a story... A very trusted member, HybridMike who sold coke among other things, had ran away with people's money. Now, because he was a trusted member, many had finalized early with him. A lot of them were established buyers who did this(out of respect - out of trust). Some were new buyers of course who did the same. But thousands were lost by both types of buyers.
One or two threads about it were made where people shared their experience, wondered what happened to Hybridmike, and came to the conclusion they lost their money.
You on the other hand seem to be having a meltdown. It's weird to most of us since you lost nothing. Your money is in escrow. And that's why people are coming down on you. They really have little if any sympathy for you considering the thousands that have been lost by true scammers and those who finalized early with them.
I get your angst and worry. You were looking forward to something, making plans around having that something, and you're disappointed. But that is as far as my empathy goes seeing as you lost nothing but an opportunity cost.
Paperchasing and Envious are right about the new crop of buyers. But I think it's because this place has been pitched in the press (which is how they likely discovered this place) as the Amazon dot com of drugs and so these new buyers have the same expectations as they would if buying something off Amazon. They forget the high degree of risk that sellers must endure and that the things being sold here are illegal.
Truth of the matter is Pharmville doesn't owe anyone any explanation. Especially if you are in escrow and especially since they don't require early finalization. Being a top seller attracts a lot of LEO attention. So they need to watch out for themselves and do whatever has to be done to avoid incarceration. We don't know what the situation is nor are we entitled to know. If they come on and say what's up, it's done as a courtesy.
Lastly, if anyone finalized early, that's on them since PV never requires it. After all the horror stories on here about what happens to people who FE, you'd think the practice would stop.

Listen bud, i'm really not trying to troll you/etc. but it's just like paperchasing said, the new member's on here are 'different' (and here's my interpretation of different: a) Impatience b) Expect this to be an Amazon rapid fast distribution network c) Don't read the buyer's guide d) Don't read the forums e) WHINE .. there are more but I think i've made my point heh).
As rude as this question is going to sound to you, I just have to ask it.
Which benzo vendor are you Killboy? I mean ... nobody flips out this bad (30+ posts about it in just a few days) unless they're trying to keep PV down and fill the void of PVs sales with their own.
That or you're the biggest drama queen i've EVER seen in my life.
Your funds are protected by SR escrow, if you don't receive your package by the time it auto-finalizes, open up a resolution and have your money refunded. I don't see what the big deal is here, you haven't lost anything.

Interesting. I didn't consider this angle. But there's definitely merit in it.
