Title: Ivory wants FE?
Post by: ijumz on May 19, 2012, 01:16 pm
So yeah, this guy has been around for a long time and seems to be a reputable vendor but he wants FE for international shipping. I understand why but I have vowed to never finalize early again. Has anyone had experience with large orders making it successfully to the U.S.?

Ivory is one of the most reliable vendors on SR.
He's been here since almost the beginning like myself personally I get a good bit of my mdma from him, because it's some of the best I've ran across.
As for FE that's a personal choice. Ivory is not a scammer though.

I agree that Ivory is a good seller, but I too will NEVER finalize early again.  If you are looking for good domestic Molly, then Rocker is the way to go.  I am NOT in anyway saying Ivory is a scammer, but there have been plenty of "trustworthy" vendors that went rogue.  Finalizing early should never be an option that is considered.

I buy from Ivory on a regular basis and he never makes me FE. Then again I do buy from my Vendor account to show faith and I have decent sales/transaction history and thus I am a 100% certified G (LOL).

Depends how much you are buying and what your stats are I guess. For example I would never FE for personal amounts and if I'm asked to it's just an automatic "See you next Tuesday mate" but then I think different rules should apply for vendors with stats that buy from vendors. I don't expect anyone (vendor or buyer) to FE for me when they have decent stats but then that's just me. If we are talking bulk though I wouldn't mind say 50-50 or I may demand full FE depending on the price and what it was.

Different circumstances for different occurrences. Just how it works.

Maybe I'm just overly paranoid, but isn't buying from your vendor ID a bad idea because then people will know where you are vending from?  This opens up a slue of dangers imho

I'm wanting to buy bulk so that is what makes me nervous about it. I can tell from reviews that his mdma is obviously some of the best, or THE best according to some.
And yeah, nomad, I agree that he's not a scammer so i'm not worried about that. It's just the small chance that the package won't arrive and i'll be out a lot of money. But it does put me at ease that their rate of shipping failure is less than .75%
Limetless, I have good purchasing stats (16 transactions and 401.22 btc spent) so a 50-50 split FE would ease my mind a lot more. But I don't know if he would do that.

if hes not a scammer and you are sure then FE. if package doesnt show you shouldnt expect 100% back if you know hes not a scammer. that would leave the seller out a load of money, should be 50% or so if you know hes not a scammer since he paid for the drugs and shipping.  I'm sure he would have no problem giving 50% back outside of escrow if package doesnt show, for bulk you should be using dcn anyway and odds of package not showing is very slim.

you can totally trust ivory, ive used him many times for mdma and even used him at the beginning out of escrow a few times and he has never let me down, i ordered a gram off him thursday and got it friday, he never asks me to f.e but like lim i order though my venders account, but i always do f.e for him anyway,

if you're getting MDMA and you're international, why not go SKYY? Especially in bulk, its super cheap and amazing stuff. I just ordered an oz, and its my 3rd order with him. Never had to finalize early.

and yeah, tony was 'one of the most reliable sellers on SR' so you never know...

DONT FINALIZE EARLY FOR ANYONE!!

Its just too tmepting and you lose all control. Especially for a lot of money. Find a vendor who wont make you FE.

Even if you get scammed, you have it in escrow so you have almost no risk, unless you FE.

Damn, wish I had a vendors account to order with!

Kaczty, Netherlands is just too damn risky. I can't take the risk of having it intercepted by customs, then having my address flagged. Or even a "knock and talk." Helll no

Schrady and moksha, thank you. That's very good advice.

Ivory never makes me FE and I've bought large amounts.  Nothing like 50g though or anything.  Just talk to him/her/them ... pretty down to earth vendor if you ask me!

Really? What about something like 10 grams? But was that domestic for you? Thing is i'm international (U.S.)

Definitely that amount and some more... US shipping as well but I have some solid purchasing history with Ivory so as a new buyer he may not feel comfortable doing it?

Oh okay that makes sense. I have solid purchasing stats but have never purchased from Ivory before...

i was going to buy from ivory recently, but didn't because i'm not comfortable with FE for a shipment that is likely  going to take over a week

SKYY's packaging is discreet enough that even opening the mail would not raise suspicion. But yeah, I understand.

I haven't dealt with Ivory, but with that being said in my time here I have heard nothing but good about him. I would say you can be completely confident in Finalizing Early for him :)
He has after all earned his place in this community with hard work, honesty, and reliability.

I have picked up ounces at a time from ivory and FE, I would suggest going through Ivory and just FE but it is all up to you :)

Yes you do have a point but I only buy from the top vendors + I don't ever receive anything myself.
