Title: Recommendation: DO NOT BUY FROM POT2PEER till he reads his messages
Post by: TrustusJones on August 03, 2012, 12:12 pm
Up till now Pot2Peer has been a reputable vendor and this post is not meant to discredit his vending, as far as I know if you order from him you 'will' get your purchase in a timely manner.
The problem is P2P is NOT reading his messages sent through silk road or on his private site.
Several reputable buyers and vendors have been messaging him for weeks now and he has refused to read a single message... some messages have gone unread for over 24 days now.
I cannot in good conscious recommend a vendor who so blatantly refuses to address issues buyers are having who are forced to turn to other vendors for help.

Get your shit together P2P and I will happily retract this post.

Thanks,
TJ

I would say thats a polite heads up.
P2P, If your having personal problems go on vacation.
No need to ruin your hard earned rep.

There are a few cannabis vendors that I have a semi-irrational prejudice for. Unfortunately, he has always been one of them. I always associate his name with Peer2Peer, which has been a phrase LE/politicians love using to refer to piracy, BitTorrent and the like. Turns me off, lol. I was impressed with his own site, however. Just didn't see the need to leave SR. While he does mention that he can receive over 200 messages a day sometimes, there is most likely some urgent info from his buyers in there. I know firsthand as a clearnet vendor that replying to customers is a painful part of the job, but needs to be done. I'm guilty of my fair share of ignores from impolite/unreasonable low-ballers, though, heh.

Oh, and I can already see the Gawker headline now- "Vendors Squabbling on Forums- Is this the End of SilkRoad?" LOL ;D

And on a side note, let's see some more buds soon, Jonesy! Was too broke to get in on your last batches. :]

Are there any verified problems with orders being filled?  I'm about to place one and while I agree that unanswered messages could be cause for caution, what I really care about is getting product.  Ugh, Pot2Peer became my go-to for great prices and great bud.  I have gone through several vendors as my "main supplier" and I don't want to have to start shopping again.

pot2peer isn't communicative, but always comes through. If i have any concerns or want something specific. I put whatever i need to tell him above my address, then encrypt with pgp and bam they read it. You have to understand that pot2peer isn't one person. I can imagine that it's a shared account. Pot2peer is running their own website, and running a vendor account here at the silk road. They haven't messed up any of my orders. So i don't understand the fuss about them not reading messages. I think that pot2peer should put a disclaimer in their profile page stating that they don't respond to messages. That way people would know before they make a purchase.

I have used p2p in the past for friends and/or family.
I highly recommended him last week to someone and now an order that was shipped last week still has not made it in.
I wouldn't bother him anymore guys, he obviously cannot or will not read them let  alone respond to them, if he is trying to and is really that behind, what is another message gonna do other then delay things further.
His bud is great and so are his prices. I hope he pulls through whatever it is he is going through and starts shipping out again.

Mentioned it in the review thread, but due to these complaints and others regarding this vendor's performance lately I decided to hold off on ordering until things start running smoothly again.

Normally I wouldnt do this but, I am asking for advice here, I only recieved half of my order, I havent finalized its been 4 days. since I have address my issue. Should I go ahead and go threw SR support or wait and see if it comes in because some people have said part of there order came in later. I would normally like to reslove my issue with the vendor, so it doesnt hurt my record. but I dont want to loose money ethier. Anyway, its really stressin me out because I need to make an order this week.

I'm a little unclear on the info in your message.  You're saying it's just been four days since ordering?  Did you order two different products or did you only receive 1/2 of what you ordered i.e. ordered one ounce but only received 1/2?  I ask because P2P drop-ships from different suppliers so if you ordered two different strains then maybe you received one before the other.  If you've waited at least 10 days since ordering and you haven't gotten everything, then I'd say go ahead and go to resolution.

Hi folks,

Fairly new SR buyer here.   Have used P2P before and have been happy.  This last time I made two orders: one order for one oz. of one strain, and a second order for 1/2 oz. of another.  The oz. arrived 7 days after stated ship date, so no worries there.  However, I haven't received the 1/2 and it's been 10 business days since the item was marked shipped on here.

I've PM'd him about it to receive a DCN, as per his policy info on his seller page, but have not yet received a response (nor have I waited long to receive it, to be fair). 

Should I put this into resolution?  What's the best move for me at this point?

I very much want to support and show respect for quality vendors on here, so don't want to make a faux pas, but this thread about the seller's unresponsiveness has me nervous and I don't want to get to auto-finalization (~3 days I think).

Same.  I haven't hard problems with P2P in the past, but hearing that messages are going unanswered is a little annoying.  I HATE dealing with customers, but if I want to make sales, it's a necessary evil.  A vendor who isn't answering requests within at least 2-3 days is a HUGE turn off for me =(

What happen was this I order the total of one 1oz of the same strain, But since he didnt have a listing for an oz, I order a two 1/2 oz of the same strain, it was 20 bucks more, he didnt respond to my request for an oz. So I figure this would be the best way to do it. Anyway the package came with only 1/2oz instead of a the full oz I ordered. So I thought it was a common mistake, he just didnt see my quanity of 2. No big, So I sr messaged him explaining to him I recieved half of my order. No response. As of today its been a week since I recieved only half of my order and messaged him about the issue, still hasnt even read my messages. I did put it threw reslove but have gotten no feedback but its only been a day since I did that.

This seems like a silly mistake that could easily be rectified with minimal amounts of communication.  I went through to pick out an o today, ended up finding a few things that looked good from P2P.  I want to mix 1/2 and 1/2, but I fully refuse to pay the 2 x 1/2 price just because I can't shoot over a quick message "I'm down to order, but can you mix it w/..." to confirm.

I was happy with my last stuff, but looking for some variety and looking for a decent deal, just not going to do it when I have 2 other guys who get back to me within 12-24 hours on every single message, usually several times a day.  It doesn't have to be live support, but damn a response within 2-3 days doesn't seem like a big request for anyone you're going to spend with..

To be totally honest, I've only been a member of SR since April but still haven't yet found a totally reliable cannabis vendor. And note, 'reliable' covers several aspects.

So if you can do 1oz for 350 USD or less to the UK of the dank, let me know (anyone!).

---

With regards to P2P, I had asked via PM a long time ago about shipping to the UK as most of his strains aren't available to do so. When I say 'most' - his 275 USD/ 1oz Sour Diesel listing on his personal Tor website IS available for EU (therefore UK) shipping. Unless he's updated this to show otherwise.
On speculation - a good vendor with good strains and very attractive pricing. Would've loved to do business but comms are a real high priority for me. Don't BS people with "I get a lot of enquiries" - are you running a business, or not - if you are that's totally the wrong attitude to have - and considering the nature of the business, as a vendor I'd strive to ensure I only dealt with the 'right' crowd. Not just go with the people who place orders without any message or enquiry whatsoever, because 'that's the easier option.'

Thanks!

I would like to say he did give me the refund for the half he never sent. But I had to go through the resolve feature. He was very responsive on that, for some reason. When this matter could have been easy handled with out it. Now my buyer status are damaged. Which I am not too pleased about. Didnt even try to contact me during the whole ordeal. Yes he has decent products and pricing. But its really ashame that it had to come down to this. Really for me, and seller. its a lose-lose for both of us. Anyway I hope he straigthins out for future customers.

I have an issue with them through their website, not SR.  I was able to log in fine until shortly after sending payment.  I was logging back in and out to check the order status.  The last I was able to log in, I saw it said "processing" and then I could no longer log into the account from which I had ordered from.  I have sent various emails, PGP encoded and not, sent a PM as well from here and from SR.  It appears the only "usual" complaint about pot2peer is their lack of communication.  Well, I've absolutely no way to find out the order status at this point.  I've tried using the password reset feature and it says a new pw has been emailed to me, but it has not.  I have verified the address is correct on file.

Without them actually communicating, I'm dead in the water with just the hope that my product(s) will arrive.  If it's been cancelled, I've no idea because I cannot log in.  If they're going to return the money, I've no idea as they haven't returned any messages.  So, at this point all I can do is sit and wait to see if anything shows up.  I ordered last Weds.  We'll see... it wouldn't be as bad if I didn't have other people's money tied up in this, which means I have to answer to them.  Not a great spot to be in with no communication.

Now, as of this afternoon until just now, I am not even able to pull up their site... even more discouraging...I'm able to pull up others just fine...

It would be very nice to hear back so I can get logged back in and follow my status.


***UPDATE*** Their site is back up...I still cannot log in, but at least the site is back up
pot2peer I, and apparently many others, sure do wish you had your communication system dialed in.  You would cut down on many messages if you were to simply address the ones that you receive.  You are prompting folks to make multiple attempts at contacting you, which only adds to what you already receive.

I received my orders today.  So that is the good news.  The bad news is them being considerably light, cheap, but light.  Oh well.  I still would like to be able to log into my account on their site.  Not like there's a complaint department I can refer myself to, there's not even a customer relations department. Still no word back from them, I've made numerous attempts.

Overall 80% satisfied...Not a review that counts for anything though, since I ordered from his site.  I'd still like to be able to log into my account there but it's all on them at this point.

I am SERIOUSLY starting to worry. It's been three days now and $350 in BTC in MISSING from my wallet. Now the P2P site won't even load. My questions are unanswered and I'm unable to allocate my money toward another vendor. Has anyone else had an order cancelled after sending payment? I feel as if I've been wronged by a reputable vendor.


**UPDATE** 9/13/12
I attempted to bring the issue to light through P2P's SR account and this issue WAS resolved. I recommend to anyone trying to contact him through his personal site to try via SR.
