Silk Road forums

Tony, I feel it is my duty as a former customer of Mike to encourage you to do more research before saying things that aren't true. I COMPLETELY understand your intentions, and if the following things were not true, I'd be writing a post commending you for your actions.

Look through all of Mike's feedback on the market. You can see that all of his previous batches of L have updated feedback that confirms the arrival. Obviously, as he has stated his most recent batch has not shipped yet, so all we see is a bunch of "FE"'s. If you look closely at his feedback from his last batch, a couple people even mentioning finalizing early and that it all still arrived.

I have been a member of SR for 1 year now. Over 2 grand spent, over 30 transactions. I'm not bragging, as I'm absolutely positive that I'm not some 'super buyer' at all. However, I do have experience. I have experience with mike, from OVDB back when SR was even more scam-ridden than it is now.

I encourage everyone to research heavily before making claims that are unfounded. I've noticed that the public nature of this market encourages an outrageous amount of whistle-blowing from both vendors and buyers, as people who are not experienced in this trade (not referring to you tony) get easily spooked/worried and need reassurance that their product is coming. These people were not here for the days where you simply sent a WU to someone on the west coast and maybe a month later 100 hits of acid shows up. No communication, just mail. We should consider the fact that we can even be in contact with the main supply chain a blessing.

Hey guys just want to point out that this is a postal issue not a vendor.  I follow several vendor threads here on the forums and there are people complaining about things taking a very long time right now.  So don't get too worked up over it its not just tony's product its a lot of peoples.

I wanted to echo some of the statements I've been reading.  My first several orders all arrived quickly and predictably within 5 days.  These orders were for Tony's regular H product.  However, our last order was for pebbles and was placed last Monday evening.  It sat in processing for a day or two and I have not been able to get confirmation on when exactly it shipped.  However, mail was just delivered and we were again disappointed today.  So that makes 8 business days (excluding Saturday) and 10 total days since I placed my order. 

I was hoping either Tony or another user could confirm whether his shipping/packing methods for pebbles are significantly different than his regular H product and maybe that could be the cause of the delay?  After reading many of your other posts though it seems that I am certainly not the exception.  Although on my order before this one Tony also warned me that the post had been going slow and he could not guarantee 5 days to coastal US, but it got here in 5 days anyway.  I thought he was just giving a safe buffer so we would be extra pleased when it did arrive in 5. 

At any rate, anyone who has successfully received Tony's pebbles, please reply and share your experience. 

Thanks.  Much love and respect all.

Wow. Just  placed my 3rd order with Tony, and was forced to FE this time. I am not sure why, as I am a repeat customer, with more than 10 purchases. 0 auto finalize, and 0 refund rate. My 1st 2 orders were for 1g each. This time I decided to get a bit more. But, had I known I was gonna have to risk it on FE, I would have bumped up a bit to get the better deal.
Considering both our track records, I ain't sure what I did to be forced to FE, unless it's the larger quantity? Although, I don't see that posted anywhere? Will it be full escrow if I only order 1 at a time???
It's too bad, as his product is finally catching on here, and I was going to be coming after more and more. I know T's the shit, the #1 mofo on the road, but I feel like I earned my way into escrow, according to his page. It's not easy to acquire my purchasing stats.
I will update my feedback for you once I get my letter.
I hope this doesn't deter you from dealing with me in the future. We both have our reasons for doing what we do.
Peace
