Anybody ordered from vendor drjohnhalpern (http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/181814) ? He has some good prices, but not rated even though he has some good feedbacks.
-
I am also curious as to if anyone has had sucsesful transactions with them... specifically with the Defqons:

-Thanks

Bump, anyone tried his hash? I wanna buy the 250gs, but dont really wanna just dive straight in.
-
Ordered, let us see how this will go.
-
Placed a large order for Thai a couple of days ago, waiting to see how it plays out; will update here.

I have ordered the Yellow Pollen and the Thai weed on the 420 weekend, and it has arrived today :)
Good packaging, but I cannot yet say anything about the products. The weed looks lovely, though.
-
i have made an order with drjohnhalpern, his customer service, packaging and delivery time was all great, i wouldn't hesitate to make an order from him if he has a product you are looking for.

Am awaiting 7 grams of the high quality yellow pollem.
Ordered last Friday/early Saturday, in the sale so guess its delayed with the rush.
Price was real good compared to UK vendors stocking the same.
Look forward to the postman delivering tomorrow.
Will make a nice Friday afternoon in work. I can sneak home if I post arrives for me. The missus thought it was love letters from some chick I met in Holland - lol. I had to show her SR and she ordered a few meds and accepted that I could buy safe drugs. She will have some good old fashioned loving this weekend fueled by speed, ritalin, coke or E or maybe the good old combination of alcohol and hash. Time to turn the bedroom into an adventure playground.
I was going to take some viagra, I inject so I put in my arm not thinking straight. Got the shit beaten out of me by some Jewish guy at work as my right arm was raised all day.
Seriously though, here's hoping the good doctor will prescribe me 7 grams (actually 2 times 3.55 grams) and I will promise to take my medication. Told my boss in work that this damn hay fever season makes my eyes red. He replied 'fuck off your stoned on that Afghan black you were showing me in the pub last Friday'.
Bosses who toke. Priceless! ;D
-
Half of my purchase has arrived, but instead of the Thai I ordered it's a block of hash. I have no market for it so unfortunately can't sell it. :-\
Have contacted drjohnhalpern and I have no doubt, going on his excellent vending record, that it will be sorted out. Will update here with what happens. If anybody received a bulk amount of Thai instead of a bulk amount of hash, get at me. :P

Hi,
I have ordered Yellow Pollum from Drjohnhalpern and I received a dark brown and odorless pressed powder, definitively not real hash.
I sent him a message and he answered quickly he would send me Bubble hash in compensation. A week later I received exactly the same shit ! I asked a refund and he gave me my money back immediately (the order was already finalized).
Of course, even if I have been totally refunded, I won't buy from this seller again !

Any new rewiews of the seller? wanted to buy some shrooms.

Did you smoke it anyway ?

What was it? Do you know, what did he say it was?
-
so you got 2 orders for free and got refunded.. vendors work hard and i think thats pretty low of you. if a vendor messed up my order i would eat the loss because they work hard, and how can they make money if they have to refund everyone.. but ive ordered some defqons from this vendor and they arrived promptly to the US, wouldn't hesitate to order again :) and he sent me a free .5 of some nice hash with my order, awesome dude.
-
Did you smoke it anyway ?
I have tried to smoke some and it just confirmed my opinion : this is not hash.
What was it? Do you know, what did he say it was?
First time he just said he "had a bad batch", I don't know what it is, sure it's organic but also sure this is not cannabis. Second time he just said "sorry we will refund you" and he did.
so you got 2 orders for free and got refunded.. vendors work hard and i think thats pretty low of you.
Yes I had two orders of bunk powder ! Do you think I should pay for that ?!

well...
i ordererd that high quality yellow pollen as well.... from the picture i have seen i expected to receive something completly different.... what i got was that brown powder... but i say.. YES... it is hash... but it's not pressed at all... could call it kief as well...
it's a fine medium smoke... but for my use it's not high quality....
but drjohnhalpern is a pleasure to deal with and he has more than just this product...
-
i ordered the high quality yellow pollen also, it isn't yellow that's for sure and it isn't high quality neither.
My opinion is that it's the kief from a batch of thai stick as it has the same earthy, spicy undertones when smoking and gives the same sort of mellow high.

Hello,
Of course everybody is free to have is own opinion. But I don't understand on what basis you can tell it' s hash !
For me here are a few reasons why I can say this is actually not hash, or even kief :
- If it was unpressed hash it would be easy to press and it would become harder when I heat it. This is not case, this crap just get even more powdery when i manipulate it.
- It doesn't really taste, I try to put a lot in a joint : it has a kind of harsh taste and doesn't burn well. I have tried to burn a bit of this "hash" with my lighter : it stinks and doesn't smell like any kind of hash or weed.
- I have already smoke kief : it doesn't look like that, it doesn't smell like that, it has taste and it burns well.
I agree Drjohnhalpern was honest enough to refund me and that he has been responsive and polite. But I don't understand why he persists to sell this crap, especially if he holds legit products.

i also ordered the high quality pollen two weeks ago but it hasn't arrived yet (i live in europe, so no oversea customs)
trying to work out a solution with dr. john :-\

I am very interested in a purchase of the Dr JH's Thai weed. I am and old timer and prior to "Original Haze" (circa 1978 SF Bay Area) Thai was the benchmark for the best you could get. This would significantly bring back old memories from very happy days, however, what are the chances of the package making it past the gauntlet of Homeland Security to the West Coast USA?
-
Hi,
Need reviews on drjohnhalpern - Thai weed, is it good smoke, good quality suitable for retailing offline?
Thanx in Advance!!

Try ordering a gram and see for yourself. I personally wasn't too impressed by it. Comparing this thai to outdoor Durban Poison I bought from SwaziBudBud, thai seems a lot weeker. It looks and smells around the same level, but much harder to get high on it. I was thinking about retailing it locally too, but decided against it..

Whats the best supplier / gear for retailing mate? I just wholesale offline in bulk to various retailers, need to get bulk weekly to Australia, or locally. Needs to be good and right price.

I've had one successful transaction with drjohnalpern.
He is doing a great job on communication and the package was stealthy as usual. Shipping was fast.
About the quality:
To be honest it wasn't the thai i expected, but it was quite a nice experience. It has an earthy taste (as announced on the itempage) and it's really dry. I expected some more seeds in it, but there only were few of them.
It's a weed you can smoke as long as you want to, you'll get a bit higher, even not comparable with the "regular" weed high, but it's doing a good job at all. Very good weed for that price, but i think not really worth to resell it locally, only if your customers likes it and know what a thai is ;)
Perhaps let 'em try it and listen what they say.

Packet did not arrive.
He gave me 50% refund, but I'm sure he didn't even send the packet and simply took my money because if customs found the packet my home would've been raided, and two orders from other vendors came through since i ordered from drjohn.
So i went to resolution center and admins just cancelled the transaction so I couldn't even leave feedback and didn't get any refund other than what drjohn had sent me.
Won't buy again from him.
Edit:
lol check out today's feedback on his vendor page:
4 people saying FE
6 people saying it didnt arrive
Edit (few hours later): 3 FE \ 7 nothing received
-

Customs finding a small amount of weed would in all likelihood NOT result in your house being raided. Other packages getting through means nothing.
Your edit is concerning though, I have bought from him before (about 2 weeks ago, finalized early) and it came through fine, was great weed considering the price, but seeing how many aren't arriving I probably won't order from him again unless those odd numbers get explained!
-
I haven't ordered anything from him but just because a lot of his shipments did not come through lately does not mean he did not send them.
He's selling weed from NL (right ?) worldwide .. that alone would be a pretty good reason for him not having a very high success rate.
Maybe customs know some detail about his packaging and maybe he should change it up somehow , I don't know...
All I'm saying is that unless you've got actual proof I don't think it's fair to call him a scammer , no matter if you're pissed off about not getting your stuff or not..
If that many orders did not arrive then there should be a few people receiving letters soon.
-
modernbenoni, i guess that depends on what country you live in, also the amount wasn't small according to the laws of my country.
weedy, he sends to EU only. if that many packages don't come through it's either his packaging's fault or he's not sending them at all... either way, I think we shouldn't be the ones losing money :s
-
So I ordered 100 defqons from drjohnhalpern and I'm very happy to say that the first half of my order arrived a couple days ago. I was going to wait until I got the second package to post praise for Dr John but I tried out the pills last night and I'm completely satisfied so I decided to share my story now.
The packaging was legit. None of the pills were crushed, none were even chipped. Based off some other peoples posts then perhaps it seems like Dr John may have worse luck shipping large bags of bud but my relatively small number of pills worked out perfectly fine.
The only thing that would make me happier would be a lower price but I knew I was paying a small premium for these specific pills from a vendor willing to ship them to the states in a stealthy way.
-
I ordered 100 Defqons from Dr John some 25 days ago. It has not arrived yet, BUT it may take 30 days to arrive here in Brazil, and this week we had Bank-holiday on the 07/06/12 so it may take one or two more days.
It should be in my hands on tomorrow or Tuesday (at the most).
I am trusting the seller because of the good reputation he has.
Will update on wednesday (13/06/12)
-
No luck so far! :(
Today is 14/06/2012, the 27th day since Dr.John registered the package as "In Transit".
I still have hopes that it will arrive, it may take up to 30 days to arrive here in Brazil (wait until Monday 18/06/2012).
Another point to remember is that last week there was a Bank-Holiday and the post-office has not worked properly this week yet (I haven´t received any bills this week) so I am expecting a visit from the postman today, maybe he is bringing me my happiness.
I still have faith, I payed nearly 130 Bitcoins for this pills, US$ 745,00 is a lot of money to lose! :'(
-
Really wish there was better news on here :( I was looking forward to ordering the dr.johnhalpern. lol If only it was the real Dr. John Halphern
-
Don´t lose your hopes yet. Today (sunday) makes the 31st day since postage, I have heard that it is taking a while longer to international post to arrive this time of the year, so I am willing to wait until the 40th day before considering the package as "lost". but I don´t believe it is going to happen, because I ordered other stuff and they are coming through without any problems......
So until the 26/06 I will be waiting faithfully. It should be arriving this week, so let´s keep up the optimism!
-
33rd day and no show so far! :'(
I ordered some other pills from another seller on the 08/06 and it arrived today (it took 11 days only), so I am beginning to worry!
-
Today makes 47 days since DrJohnhalpern informed that he posted the package, and so far it has not arrived! Unfortunatelly I have to assume that it has been lost in the post (my first lost package in SR).
I am trying to contact Drjohnhalpern, I have sent him a message 5 days ago and another one 2 days ago, but he has not answered either of them, but SR informs that he has connected today, this makes me very worried!
I sent another message today, let´s see if he answers.
-
Sorry to hear that.
I think someone who loses about one third of his packets like drjohnhalpern does can be safely called a scammer.
I just wish sr admins had taken more time to look into this case before leaving me with a 50% refund, but i understand they have bigger problems to take care of.
-
Did you receive your 50%? I am not having any answer from the messages yet. I ordered 100 XTC for 130 BTC, and he does not answers me.
Have you tried this topic:
http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=3520.0
I think you should have a look at it, I will send a message to them tomorrow if I don´t have an answer from him.
It is very disappointing to imagine him being a Scammer.
Let´s hope for the best
-
What Can I say? I ordered on the 16 of MAY and so far NO PACKAGE has arrived!
Communications: At the begining Drjohnhalpern is very fast at answering the Messages, specially if you don´t Finalize Early. Bu now he is taking 2,3 or even 4 days to answer. I Bought 100 Defqons and I Finalized Early because he promised a 10% Bonus (check his personal page).
...
But the goods have not arrived and I asked for a REFUND. - He said that he could not refund me because 100 defqons is a lot, so he Offered a re-ship, bu I am only willing to accept it if he can give me some PROOF of the shipment. I am still waiting for his answer ---- BY THE WAY: I sent the message yesterday, the system has informed me that he has ALREADY READ the message, BUT DID NOT ANSWER!
....
When I ordered from him his reputation was 98%. Now it is 86% and dropping, too many goods are "getting lost" in the Post.
---
I will update tomorrow (even if he doesn´t answers my messages)!
-
I Managed to contact DrJohn yesterday, he said that he will re-ship the order, I should be expecting the good to arrive between 04/08 and 08/08.
Let´s hope it doesn´t "get lost" in the mail this time!
I will keep you posted
-
I'm sorry to burst Your bubble, but if You'd take a minute to read this thread, then You'd see that his reships are fakes/failures and You're pretty much cheated from Your money, get the 50% refund or nothing, at least it seems that way at the moment :S

GOOD NEWS! The package arrived today :) :D ;D
...
Yes it took 2 months, but if finally arrived! I have to admit that I was very upset and disappointed with the possibility of Dr.John being a Scammer, but I got my order today
...
The strange thing is that he informed me that he had re-shipped 4 days ago, and I know that it takes at least 2 weeks from Europe to S.America, so this might still be the first package. That means that I may still receive another 100 DefQons in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
---
I already informed Dr.John that it the package arrives I am interested in buying it as well, there is a lot of buddies here that are dying for these XTC, there is nothing like them here in my country

I didn't reply before, but I was following your updates. Good to see a positive outcome! And respect for being honorable and paying for a resend. +1 karma your way:)

I did order 20 grams of Amnesia Haze from drjohnhalpern. My order never arrived after 3 weeks. I went to resolution center and received a 70-90% refund ( don't know exactly how much i got ). In my opinion package was never sent, before i did order several times from NL and never had a single problem. Maybe its a bad luck or maybe it was a selective scam. No idea, but i will never buy from him again.
-
Yes, I have to consider my self a lucky man 18 days ago DrJohnhelpern hand informed me that he had re-shipped 100 Defqons to replace the ones that got "lost" in the post. Normally it takes from 21 to 30 days to arrive from Europe to Brazil.
...
BUT TO MY SURPRISE: 4 days after the post of the re-shipment the 100defs arrived. So I had 100 beans on my hands and another 100 on it´s way, had even informed DrJphn that I would buy these 100 too as soon as they arrived.
...
Yesteday I asked DrJohn once moere if these second package of 100 defs were really cumming (so I didn´t have to orthe from no one else).
TODAY: He has just informed me that THERE IS NO SECOND POSTAGE, NO RE-SHIIPMENT, so this second package DOES NOT EXIST!!!!
....
Very dissapointed I was really already believing that he was a trusted but an UNLUCKY seller, and that hes packages had problems in the post.
I am sorry to say this, but I would not buy from him again! :(
-
My first & only experience with drjohnhalpern. I ordered 25g weed from dr john. Now i would normally never use a vendor wirh a score below 93-95 (as i recall his score was 89-90). But it looked like great weed based on feedback, although there were a few bad reviews) so i gave him a chance.
Communication was poor, but that goes for :-[ many vendors. Then he processed my order, and then the waiting began. Normally a NL to southern scandinavia takes between 2 - MAX. 7 days. After 2 (TWO) weeks the packet arrived. The packting was total amatourish. Giant envelope (the weed took up perhaps 15% of the envelope. Even worse: There were no filler/Cardboard/paper around the weed. So any customs/police even anal postman could have guessed the content, and i consider it a small miracle it got post LE. But even better instead of shipping the 25g. i ordered he sent me 5g!! Well, accidents will happen and i am far from perfect myself!
Then it got really bad. Sent pm marked "URGENT" noting his error and the need for urgently fixing the (pretty big) mistake. No Reply (verified has was active, but clearly dident give a shit). This went on for DAYS! Polite pm, got ignored etc.
Finally SR escrow stepped in, and i requested 90% (10% "penalty included). Guess what, now he suddenly replys "we will work it out" BS. He also suggested a 80% refund in sme message. He also pm'd me with same "lets work it out" msg. So i decided to give a last chance, privnote my addt and waited.... After 6 hours he still dident get my adress, So i had enough, and his crap package was just to risky on top.
So i took my 80%, totally destroyed my buyer stats (55+ transaktions with ZERO refunds or auto FE). All because drjohnhalpern is a amatur semi-scammer with no morals or concept of customer-service!!
So stay the fuck away from drjohnhalpern. There is A REASON HE HAS SO SHITTY POINTS!!!
There are plenty of good honest serious quality suppliers : Chem.sisters, budsupplies, DutchQuality, DutchShop for weed + sevwral others.
UP YOURS JOHN ..I.,
