If you value your security and privacy do NOT order from Larghetto. I've come to learn a few things about his business practices.
Although I do know that (at least some of) his products are in fact semi-legit, it is very likely that he is merely ordering on a bulk supplier website with your shipping information that ships (mostly) from Pakistan... Don't get caught signing for a package containing large amounts of opioids from Pakistan.
Sometimes he will ship from UK. But even then, he is also not very discreet about his dealings.
Furthermore, in regards to the required delivery signature, there is no way for you to know if the USPS has inspected your package and is instead conducting a controlled delivery.
It is my recommendation that you refrain from ordering from this person.
-
Never sign for anything from anyone.

LARGHETTO IS A SCAMMER SCUMBAG!
Placed order w/Larghetto for 1000 roche valiums.
his response the next day was I need to check if we can offer these at that price -- WTF who are you checking with ? I thought YOU Were selling them...
no where in his Page does it say we dont have the product we are resellers and list stuff we dont have and may not be able to honor at the price we list it at? WTF
Oh but get this wants me to FE because its hard for him to get SR to help him when resolving an issue - LOL you know whats harder is GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK once you FE and it never shows -- seriously come on MAN --
it gets better - his description says blister packs for the 1000 listing specifically.. he messages and says we want to send them loose. -- now if its not bad enough
this guy says WE MUST SEND THE PRODUCT IN MULTIPLE PACKAGES LOL -- so wait a second after placinga HEFTY Order for somethign packaged
not only does he
A) want FE regardless of your stats because "SR Resolution is tough" But FE'ing and never getting anything means there IS NO resolution - OKAYYYYY
B)He says he wants to take them out the AUTHENTIC blister packs and loosely package them meaning theres no real way to know if someone stamped them themselves or not.
C)He wants to send multiple packages EVEN after asking to FE (which is absurd) why the fuck would someone want multiple packages coming from an UNDECLARED SOURCE holy cow!
D) My Manners aren't good enough for him to place the order because of his page not saying anything about FE me having perfect stats and having spent well over 5 x the amount of the order.
E) He states he must find out if they can offer them at this price as if hes not even the one selling them, having them or anything, just deceiving buyers to think that he has this and that -
I must say I do A LOT OF research and HIGH hopes with this guy. I am now completely let down and he states I can go buy generics with CEMENT in them even though he claims to sell generics for half the price as well which is NOT half the price but whatever LOL
never the less the worst part of this is that he cancelled the order and now I lost out on 3-4 BITCOINS just because of his unethical business practice.
He clearly is not an honest vendor offering things he doesnt have, not stating his true shipping terms, asking for you to comply with a bunch of other things never mentioned and last but not least FE regardless of stats -- When asking when it would be shipped out prior to him asking to FE he stated he had to see if he could even sell them at the price listed --
there really should be something or suspension of accounts when a "REPUTABLE" vendor goes and screws over a reputable buyer because they didn't choose to disclose about 75% of the imperative info that is necessary for a successful transaction with him.
Buyers Beware - I had contacted him prior to placing this order and he mentioned his re ship guarantee yet nothing of FE or breaking them down or re checking prices or the list goes on - its like WHAT THE HELL is this guy doing...
-
I was considering ordering ket from him too...mayyybe not. lol.

From the Buyers Guide:
Escrow hedge
Unfortunately, the Bitcoin exchange rate isn't as stable as we would all like it to be, and can fluctuate wildly in a matter of hours, let alone the days or weeks it takes for a package to arrive. Because of this, there is a real danger that the Bitcoins being held in your escrow account will lose value by the time your vendor gets paid or you are refunded. So, we've given the option to vendors to hedge the future payments they are expecting from escrow such that the dollar value of the payment doesn't change as the Bitcoin exchange rate changes.
For example, a seller is hedging the escrow for a 10 btc order you place with them, and the dollar value of your order when you purchase it is $100. Now, let's say your order never arrives and your vendor agrees to a full refund, but those 10 btc are no longer worth $100, they're worth $50! Because your vendor hedged the escrow, you won't get a refund of 10 btc, you'll get 20 btc equaling the original value of $100. Of course, the opposite is also true. If Bitcoins appreciate in value while your order is in escrow, your refund will be fewer Bitcoins, but still equaling the original dollar value.
When checking out, you will see which orders will be hedged and which won't. After the order is placed, your escrow balance will reflect the dollar value of your hedged orders and the Bitcoin value of your unhedged orders. All hedged orders are hedged as soon as the order is placed. So when getting a refund for hedged items, don't be surprised if the number of Bitcoins you get back is not the same as the amount you paid.
If you need the most up-to-date USD/BTC exchange rate, we recommend mtgoxlive.com.

gotta be one of the "Biggest" BULLSHITTY vendors on the road.. totally unreal how sketchy he is - makes u lose money --
lol its not even worth the time -- this guy will WASTE ur time and money - dont go thru the stress i have. hes a waste of time! AND MONEY !!?
it would be different had he sent something or even confirmed it like he should of instead takinga whole to cancel it and cost me money like a fuckin idiot -
he selectively responds to PMs as well - just know that as well!
-
I've responded to every PM you've sent me without exception...
I cancelled your order, I'm perfectly entitled to do that. I also did it within a 12 hour, or at the most 24 hour period. I don't deal with people with an attitude problem. This would of ended in tears somehow, I'm sure.
I'm not continuing this. Read the buyers guide if you want more information about your "stolen bitcoins."
Regards,
Larghetto

Your pm's are wothless.
I bought two things from LG at two different times (both fe'd of course) The first one has not arrived. It's been a over month. and I'm pretty sure that it the second won't.eithe.Asked him about it, he said
Hello,
It is taking a bit long, we agree.
Wait until the end of next week, and we will evaluate things. It has been sent obviously.
We've never had any problem with Canada, which is strange.
We consider a package lost after 35 days, so if at the end of next week it hasn't turned up, we might ask you to wait a little longer, however, we certainly will be asking questions with the shipping company.
Keep me informed,
Larghetto
If I could find the thing I'd drop his rating to 0
More lost BTCs.
I will eat my words and apologize it the stuff does in fact arrive.
-
Hello,
Excuse me. Can you please be a bit tactful?
The first person in this thread is complaining due to the fact he can't read the Buyers Guide and I cancelled his order
Now you are complaining because a package is *LATE*.
Your package is not considered lost yet.
WE OPENLY STATE THAT WE ***WILL RESHIP ANY PACKAGE IN ANY COUNTRY THAT IS SEIZED***AS PER OUR POLICY FOR QUITE A LOT OF ITEMS.
However we also state that we will not cover lost items. This is openly stated, and we frankly have full reason to NOT do anything to help you.
The fact that we said in our PM that "we consider a package lost after 35 day" means that were quite likely going to do something in the event that that time did elapse.
Please be less rude, more polite, and less threatening. I do not understand how a select few people on here are so quick to reach for the gun when their product is late! If you simply looked at our feedback, you would see that packages have been arriving constantly since yours was mailed! What makes your package so special (two at that!) that I wanted to rob it? Your few $100 order is so 1337 that I absolutely had to rob THAT ONE.
Please show some more common courtesy. Not only that, you post of all things in a thread where I openly admit that I cancelled a person large order, merely because he had a nasty manner about him. Why would you choose this place to insult me, when you want me to possibly compensate you, and help you? Also when it is incredibly obvious that within the time of your order, 100 packages have arrived to people around the world.
Manners maketh the man.
I do not deal with people who are rude. I cancelled the first person in this threads 1000 x Roche Valium order which was worth $1000 just because he had a bad attitude.
Regards,
Larghetto

Sorry, it might be confusing who is talking to whom.
Hello
I've made about 25 purchases from around the world. I've got many in two weeks or less. Why do your shipments move at the speed of geology?
Now you are complaining because a package is *LATE*. (sure is)
I'll bet it's lost. And know I'm wondering about the quality hearing that it may come from Pakistan.
WE OPENLY STATE THAT WE ***WILL RESHIP ANY PACKAGE IN ANY COUNTRY THAT IS SEIZED***AS PER OUR POLICY FOR QUITE A LOT OF ITEMS.
RE: Re-Shipping. Would anyone in their right mind re-ship (codeine, a narcotic, in my case) the same stuff to the same box without sending test packages through (not worth the hassle) or get a new box (not worth the cost)
However we also state that we will not cover lost items. This is openly stated, and we frankly have full reason to NOT do anything to help you. (You're helping me???)
The fact that we said in our PM that "we consider a package lost after 35 day" means that were quite likely going to do something in the event that that time did elapse. (yeahright)
The fact that you have shown such little grace in this matter, and posted in the forum, makes me very tempted to not do anything now as we are perfectly entitled to do.
Manners maketh the man. (-Customer service makes the vendor)
I do not deal with people who are rude. I cancelled the first person in this threads 1000 x Roche Valium order which was worth $1000 just because he had a bad attitude. (I'm am note being rude. You however have probably the worst vendor record on SR. If the package arrived a week ago, I would not be writing this but writing very complimentary things about you.)
Now we made a deal, You already have my money. Send the stuff I'm owed.
Regards Savantlake on SR, shoehorn here. (long story)

Did you at least have the decency to return the OPs (Samwel's) money bitcoins.

Hello,
I do not wish to continue this. You have been horrendously rude to me. I will not be posting in this thread without an apology, or some kind of actual evidence that is in any way actually material in giving an actual judgement apart from random opinion.
ALSO THE PERSON WHO STARTED THIS THREAD A YEAR AGO NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! HE HAD ONLY ONE POST TOO!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW HE HAD ANY INTERACTION EVEN WITH ME AT ALL???? Is this the kind of thing that you consider evidence?
Your products were sent. My stats are about 20x larger than yours. I have a huge amount of time on here. I do not see what proof you have that your product was not sent, however, I see a massive amount of evidence that it was. Not to mention that you were told the exact terms of this purchase, and everything!
I also would like to point you to the following in our profile.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***************EXPECTED CONDUCT****************
We are one the most polite, quick to respond, and thorough sellers when it comes to communication. 99% of our messages get answered within 16 hours, and often less, usually 4-12 hours. However, we don't want to talk about things that are irrelevant. Like how to synthesize chemicals, how much to take of stuff, what you'll feel on something, and why our prices are so cheap or so on. Please use your common sense when messaging us, and please do not be rude, aggressive, or insulting.
If you look at our feedback, time and time again people state our communication is the best, but please do not take advantage and abuse it. We have cancelled someone's order of 1000 Roche Valium recently, simply because his attitude was unacceptable (bucklemyshoe1). That being said, we will answer messages which are relevant and polite, and we welcome them :)
***************ZERO TOLERANCE TO THREATS*******************
We have an ABSOLUTELY ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY any kind of threat, blackmail, or insults toward us. If you do anything similar or related to the above nastiness, we will not react in any way that you will like. We would prefer you speak to us in a respectful manner, but if you do anything like the above, we would prefer you do your worst rather than respond in any way that would give you a desired outcome to what you'd hope.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have asked very politely that you refrain from rudeness, and have warned that any instance of it or threats would not be met in any way with a favorable response to your demands.
You have agreed to all the above terms, and the responses to your actions, and the whole process was details in every way and not hidden. The fact was that we were going to compensate you SHOULD you package NOT of turned up after the time that we could CONSIDER it lost had elapsed.
However, I don't see why I should respond in a manner that would benefit you (even though I was going to) if you take the following into account:
1. We openly state that we will not respond positively toward threats, blackmail, or insults.
2. We openly state that the package has not even out long enough to consider it lost in the first place(!)
3. We openly state that we people should contact us first prior to posting negativeness about us. The fact that you've done this already (on assumption) makes the whole matter already dragged through the mud publicly, and unnecessarily. For what reason you did this, I have no idea.
3. We openly state that we won't cover lost packages.

Larghetto

In his last PM to me, LG asked me to insert the following text:
"Hello,
Please say in the thread that you acted too quickly, and that you should of waited more time.
Regards,
Larghetto"
ok LG I did what you asked. Now send me my stuff.
I will most certainly update the thread when/if my products comes in,
-
Probably swould have waited until LG said that he was going to ship. Not necessarily the fastest vendor here but never claimed to be. Told me that two of my own packages where recently recently dispatched. Lei's wait and see what his stuff is actually like.
-
I've ordered about 10 times from Larghetto.. Always got what I ordered and friendly service on top of that. Occasionally it has took some time before product has been shipped but so far no problems. I suspect that people write more easily about negative experiences than positive.
-
also his fucking listings cause a spam effect whenever anyone searches for anything due to his keyword stuffing of popular search terms
-
A little frustrated with this vendor. I ordered 200 g ketamine 420 special rates. It took 4 days before I had to ask whats going on with my order and that is when he said
"Hello, Sorry, we sent a message regarding this order to you, but for some reason it obviously didn't send".
and hour or so later he said-
"We just got word that we may be able to send it. We should be able to ship it on Monday next week. It would be a bit pointless shipping it tomorrow, since it will not move anyway.
It will cost more though to ship. However, we will cover the costs completely.
We will know more likely by the end of the day. We will keep you informed no matter what."
A week went by then I asked again whats the deal? I then got my order returned and no message back other than SR staff message about the canceled order. Over the course of time I ended up loosing money by waiting for him to figure out what he was doing. he never remembered to message me back to tell me what was going on as he said he would do, I had to make all contact with him. I think this is the second time this happened to me with this vendor and its lame his forgetfulness lost me money. I would have placed an order with another vendor for another product had I known it would go this way. Had he got back to me like he said he would, my loss would not have been what it was in bitcoin value.
also
After I asked if he was unable to provide ketamine he said
"Hello,
We've actually just removed the Ketamine listings.
We hope to have that product again soon."
but I see the listing is still up for others to go through the same thing as me.
Not exactly a bad review but it is not a good one either.
-
Hello,
We actually removed every single ketamine listing we had soon after we cancelled your order. Unfortunately we missed one of them (of about 8 or so listings), and it was still up. Sorry about that.
Also, we did tell you that we may not be able to get that product very soon after you ordered! As in less than 24 hours!
I don't know why you are unhappy about this. We asked you also if you wanted us to cancel your order when we gave this information that we may not be able to fill it. You responded that you didn't!
We admit, that we did send you a message *on a Friday* that we might be able to send it after the weekend *on Monday*. On that day, we informed you that we would be unable to fill it, and we took down the listings.
We don't keep people in the dark with our products. We have told people who have inquired about our ketamine that we would possibly be unable to fill their order should they place them. You however placed your order without messaging us and we gave you pretty much the same story that we may not be able to fill it and that we can cancel it.
There are countless people we have sent the message that we may be unable to fill ketamine orders.
IN FACT, WE HAVE A DRAFT COPY OF IT THAT WE SEND TO PEOPLE! HERE IT IS:
*************
Hello,
At the moment we cannot ship ephedrine or ketamine at all, anywhere. All other products are fine though.
We are EXTREMELY sorry about this, but we prefer to be honest and say we can't take orders, rather than do so, and have people get worried, or in the dark about things.
Please check back with us, and we will tell you news as it comes. We will post on our profile as soon as we can take orders for Ketamine and Ephedrine powders as well.
So sorry,
Larghetto

Best regards,
Larghetto
