A little concern about peoplesdrugstore disappearance as well as them shutting down their website! I had an order in with them and now that I think about it they could easily be selective scammers. Anyone else concerned or heard anything from them??
-
They have their own website now, their not working off SR any longer..this is a msg he wrote me ..
Peoples Drug Store:
**ANNOUNECCEMENT**
SR had closed my account and wont give it back until i take down my site, so we gotta shut down . Thanks for all the support and pls come see me over at BMR or sr.
-management
Peoples Drug Store:
ya in a bday card, also, fyi, sr closed my account and is holding 55 btc of mine hostage and wont give it back until i take down my site, so we gotta shut down ..
This just happen a few hrs ago.. SR is fucked up for making him shut his own website down... He had just sent me some of his Uncut H, Im still waiting on..
-
They were reported multiple times for instructing customers to purchase their products through their website, forum, or email in order to avoid SR vendor fees. That is blatantly against the rules. You can't use SR to advertise your product and get customers only to then complete sales outside of SR to avoid the fees.

Ya I'm the same, I am waiting on coke and MDMA. When I go to his site it's shit down also. Hopefully they're just trying to work soenthibg out with SR. I really just want my gear to show up! Ha I'm craving a nice fat line

I also have an order i heard from him earlier(on other site)now i got a message saying he was shutting down(didnt say anything about my order)I hope that does not mean it is canceled.I waited so long to jump in i hope my first order does not go down with a really bad taste.I am hoping all is well and it will arrive wed or thur when it is supposed to.Until then hope all is well.If it does not come then..........

scout,
i CAN UNDERSTAND him not allowed to use SR to promote his site, but how can u guys make him shut his site down? and just wondering what could u really do if he told u guys to fuck off he was keeping it up? Im not being a smart ass im wanting to know , what could SR really do other than bitch at him and suspend him from SR? and then he could continue selling on his own site,
hes gone to BMR and is gonna advertise his site and bring it back up soon,so i dont think u guys have done much really.. And now its possible a few of us have lost our drug orders, u could have giving him enough time to finish the sales he made to us and all before u had him shut down shop..
If i dont get my order I want some coins from somwhere,n rite now SR is the reason he shut down for now.. Hell be back up from what i understand though just in a more undercover way

Yes, if he wants to sell from his own site, he is free to do so but then he can't use SR to get clients since he's not even going through SR or its escrow system. This is not a place for free advertising just to direct customers to purchase elsewhere. SR allows vendors to advertise here because they actually use the system in place rather than circumventing it just to avoid paying SR's fees!
-
Ya I am a little caught, I think its "righgt" that SR would shut him down if he was using it to advertise but to hold his BTC is "wrong" Now his own site is shut down,Probably cause he wants to get his 50 BTC back. IF someone is doing worng, shut them down, its not neccessary to steal their money in the process. Guess thats what you get when you get a community of drug addicts together regardless of where it is.

I have an order pending with him too, but I don't think he's scamming. I finalized early, and it was only a $30 order (that cost me $17 due to that nice Mt. Gox fuckup). He sent me this yesterday:
was posted yesterday at 5pm est. thanks! and sorry for late reply, been a busy couple of days.

I made an order from him on SR and got it. He mentioned his webite in a PM and I decided to make a purchase there cause they had lower prices. So I make the order and should have it monday. What was odd though is that they started giving excuses that they couldn't ship it on time. Then they sent me a message saying that prices were going to 'go up' on Monday and that were should order soon. This does not sit well with me.

The prices are lower on his website because he was redirecting sales away from SR to his site in order to avoid paying vendor fees while still using SR to advertise and gain customers. Any orders that were placed through his website are, of course, not covered by SR Support -- so if anyone were to get scammed by them that way, there's nothing SR could do.
-
I understood that before placing the order. So, is that why they are gone then. that what you mentioned violates the terms of service?

I don't know the exact reason or what was found when Staff investigated - but I do know that using SR but then redirecting sales to his own site in order to avoid paying vendor fees is ABSOLUTELY against the rules.
-
thanks for the wisdom.
It seems they ahve been straighten out and their secondary site has been terminated. for those wondering
-
Might be a good time to remind people who might not already know -- even if you hear about a product on SR and see that the person is a vendor here, if you place your order elsewhere (like on the vendor's personal website or via email or whatever else) SR will not be able to do anything to help you if you have an issue or are scammed. Just something to keep in mind. :)
-
I wonder if TonyMart is still open
;D
-
So you guys were able to successfully withdraw funds from the site? Has anybody made large purchases from him?
-
PeoplesDrugStore is back! and seemed to have resolved the issues. No more website though, just SR so have to pay a little more but can feel a bit more safe about it. Still waiting for an overseas order from them but looking forward to getting that cocaine in my nose!
-
any new news on PDS?
-
Just wanted to chime in and say that I received an order from him a few days ago that he had shipped just a day or two before his vendor account went down.
-
They became scammers apparently. They scammed me. My order was domestic so it should've arrived quickly, but over five weeks after finalizing early and I got no product and haven't heard from the vendor ever since they first persuaded me to FE. Below is our SR "correspondence":
from message freshness
LittleK So you're a scam then? 11 days unread
LittleK I FE'd 21 days ago and
never received it!! Did
you send it? 13 days unread
LittleK OK, thanks, I FE'd. 1 month read
PeoplesDrugStore Thanks for the order!
In accordance with shipping policies (pls read my profile if you havent already)I ask people shipping international or without a tracking number to pls finalize before
I ship due to the time international orders can take a while and without tracking I have no way of verifying if orders were received or not and, in the past, scammers have taken advantage of this.
If you are not comfortable with this, I understand, just let me know and I can either cancel your order and refund your money OR, if you wish, you can upgrade your order to express shipping with tracking for $27 (which is the actual cost,I do not make money on shipping) and then I will be more than happy to keep the whole transaction in escrow.
However, if FE is ok with you, pls msg me and let me know that your willing to finalize early and I will accept your order so you can finalize and get your order out the following shipping day.
Thanks for shopping at the**NEW**PeoplesDrugStore!
If you havent already done so, sign up for our mailing list at pdspromo@tormail.org for special discounts, new, info on upcoming sales and more. thanks!

I ordered for PDS last Christmas season. I ordered some hash oil viles (FE'd money I was willing to lose). They took 6 weeks to arrive! PDS took a long time to answer messages but they did answer eventually. Just sayin that 21 days is not always enough time (even though it should be more than enough).
At the risk of stating what has already been stated repeatedly;
Do not Finalize Early unless you are willing to lose your money.
If you ask on the forums, you will find the product you're looking for from a vendor who wont make you FE.

I believe they are doing business as on SR as carteldelnorte - a SCAMMER.

For those that dont know DO NOT ORDER FROM PDS WEBSITE ! He has had a message on BMR for a long time stating that the webmaster locked him out of his website after making it and pretending to be him and stealing money from all the orders! do not order anything from that website, only order off him on BMR (which is the real PDS even uses the same pgp key)
and also so everyone knows I had an order in with him here on SR after SamGiancanna attempted to rip me off which i did not fall for. So he got banned while My order was placed with him in processing still, once I got my coins back I still wanted to order off him cause Ive had lots of good orders with him never a problem, so I transfered my coins to BMR and placed an order with him, (Heroin and crack) It took a lil longer for him to ship it cause he said he had bunk rock at first so he got good stuff, He gave me extra for the delay.
it did take awhile to get the tracking # but he also stated that he didnt want to give them out unless there was a problem or it was longer then 5 days cause he spent too much time replying and hunting down tracking #s (those are his words)
anyways the stuff showed up today and its dynamite both products and i got my extra, so I have to vouch for him cause I have done multiple orders from him and he has always came through.
Just thought I would mention this since its only fair to let ppl know that he does come thru
-
Just want to do the right thing and recant my statement about PDS. My BMR order arrived today (ordered during the ddos) after an experience similar to the above poster. In my defense the package was actually mailed 12 days after he assured me it would go out "immediately - the next day". There definitely is a connection between them and CDN (scammer) though.
-
yes Mine was sent out late as well, I think He had some hiccups on his end, I sent him a message and let him know that He would benefit from just being honest with his buyers if hes having some issues on his end and the package hasnt gone out yet, becuase as a buyer you feel like your being strung along and its the same things a scammer does so you start to get sketched out right away. Im sure he meant well cause He did come through in the end for me and you! so hopefully he reads that and takes it to heart cause He is true to his word in the end and not a scammer. So I would not give up on him yet, (Im not)
