Title: problems wth Pharmville...
Post by: killboy on March 16, 2012, 07:02 am
ME TOO, TIZZNOTIC!!  So I am relatively new at making purchases on silk road which really sucks for my credibility.  Also, PV is such a huge reliable vendor, that kills my credibility but,....

Thursday night/ Friday morning at between 1-5 AM I purchased a 50ct xanax for around 70-75.00.  I went down town to make a deposit to get my BTC and everything the day before, it was my first btcoin purchase and transaction so I was extremely excited.

I noticed that PV updated us in the forums Friday, saying all orders in house before  930 AM Friday went out.  I figured if that was the case, I could get my order as soon as Mon or Tuesday, But I wasn't expecting it that soon because that would be unreasonable.

Two days later on Saturday, It finally says that it was done processing and has shipped.  So now I wait 4 days not including the day it was shipped and contact PV but I have yet to get any responses or DCM.  Pharmville had just took that previous week off, came back to SR, changed all their policies (I.E. no more DCN,ect.), and had a blow out sale, only to disappear into the darkness. 

I personally think the behavior was kinda weird personally, (even though they explained it was a death in the family).  My last post about my PV experience got delete by a admin or something, so I have been waiting for someone else just like me, that was in my exact situation, to post this thread.  I feel more may be coming out of the woodwork.   This is very weird of a vendor to act this way.

I had been reading and researching all the vendors for 2.5 months.  All I see is good things about Pharmville, everybody tells me they are the go to men on the forums and I cant go wrong.  Well I do feel something has went wrong, and I am sure it is nothing on my end because I made sure my address was right, I have even personally watched my mail run everyday, because I got other orders as well and I dont start my new job until next week (fingers crossed for interview tomorrow).  Well today is really the first day anyone would have a chance to post about PV, considering they kept up slight comms on the forum until Sat and THEIR PROFILE SPECIFICALLY READS,

 "If, after 3 days for Priority (not including the day it was shipped) and 4 days for First Class (not including the day it was shipped), your shipment has not arrived,  pls send us a pm and we will get you the DCN# and we'll track it down for you and you can see right along with us what is happening with it"

Well If I ordered on Thursday, and they said on the forums that all items in house before 930 am went out Friday, then I had a right to send them a message as soon as Tuesday after the mail run.  So I did, basically had the order number and not received in the message line, and basic two sentence explanation in the body.  This was Tuesday around 430 PM, right now it is Friday morning.

I ordered Tuesday  from another vendor on the COMPLETE OTHER END of the united states, and I got it within 48-56 hours of ordering. This was my second order, the first was PV.  To recap, PV has not replied to me, read my messages, or shipped my goods (I think).  I do have low buying stats, but that shouldn't affect how soon I get a package.  I seen that CW2012 got the wrong 50 pack, and it was received several days back, I haven't got shit.  Also when I look at PV's feedback, I don't see one feedback for the 50 packs recently. 

I was scared to buy anything on SR since I am new and I knew it would be fairly easy for a large dealer to just selectively scam me ,so  I really hate to think PV would ever do anything like that to anyone based on all I ever read about them :(..  That is why I chose them for my very first order, because they actually seemed like the EASIEST TO TRUST  on silk road.

I hate to post this about such a largely loved provider, but its the truth.  Why havent my messages been read, Why did it only take another member 48-52 hours to get me a package after ordering, and PV has had seven days exactly to get my my package including the time i ordered it. 

Now suppose PV never surfaces back up or something, what do I do to get my money back?  If I had have just waited a week, I could have already had googleyed's Xanax powder in my hands!  I feel like I fucked up, but I really did try to make the most educated buy I could, and here is where it has gotten me.

I see at the roundtable that a certain vendor has gotten several new buyers for something like 7 grand.  I am in no way saying that PV has ripped me off or anything, but I am saying this

1. I have watched my mailman's hand go into my box everyday since I ordered, It hasn't been delivered for a fact.
2. My mailman has brought me another vendors item, and I got this one from Coast to Coast within 52 hours after ordering.!
3. I messaged Pharmville as according to their rules on their page and none of my properly formatted basic emails have been read.
4. Today made seven days since placing order and 6 days since it shipped.
5.  Feedback for the item I ordered seems to be lacking for the large amount that was available to members.
6.  I have seen other people with issues like mine recently.
7.  It is unlike PV to not respond or ship goods in time.

Most importantly,  I am trying to build a good feedback for my account because I really want my account statistics to mean something,  I also believe in Karma and even though I get high, I would never try to get shit for free or fuck a seller.  I really wish I had just paid the extra and got my Xanax somewhere else, at least they would have responded to my messages and gave me a DCN!  The only person I cannot get to answer any of my questions, even basic ones not regarding this matter, is PV.   

The last time I tried to post about this, a moderator deleted it, also another guys thread got deleted.  I am starting to get worried.  Like I said, the behavior was peculiar, none of my 2 messages (one Tuesday night, one Thursday night have been read yet) .  Now what I dont understand is this, If pharmville dont have any current listings, then why couldnt they go ahead and have my messages answered by now?  Seems rational right?

It just really sucks to place a order 4-5 days after placing an order with PV, and I already got that order, something is not right!  I will probably not get my money back either because I am new, Tony, googleyed, thedman, pharmerjohn,amush, and all the other reliable vendors always respond within 24-48.

The top ranked vendor cant even read my messages.  I am glad it is within escrow, and I am hoping that my mail just takes a week, or that I get a refund soon, because It just wouldn't be right to get fucked on my first purchase with one of the communities "best" dealers.  I am just amazed this has happened to me, considering all my research and patience and reading in the forums I put into that order before deciding to place it with them.

 It was after all just 75.00, and I wont stop using silk road if I lose my money, because today I got my other order and it was a dream transaction.  Thanks PharmerJohn.  Pharmville, whats up guys? are you all OK? Things seem weird and some other people I know haven't got their orders from mid last week yet either? Is all OK? I sure hope you guys are OK, I really do and I am sorry for posting this for all to see, but I don't know what else to do at this point.

Damn bro, you gave somebody 800.00? Reliable vendor or not!!! I always thought about vending on here, I always wondered if you could keep a vendor honest right around the time they decide to make their final exit.......??!!

*FOR NEW BUYERS ONLY: if you are new to Silk Road, have no successful transactions yet, or only one or two or are an older account but simply have been inactive, WE STILL WANT YOUR ORDERS and WE WILL NOT ASK YOU TO FINALIZE EARLY OR DO ANY OTHER SPECIAL THINGS. We believe in trusting everyone until they give us a good reason not to. Order from us, get a good record of deliveries going and then all the other vendors will know that you are a good buyer and can be trusted! We're here to take care of *everyone*, the oldest and the newest alike. :)

With that being said... YOU tizznotic, finalized EARLY??? When 1.) Silk Road specifically states NOT to do this and 2.) Pharmvilles profile specifically states they wont ask you to finalize early.

I'm shocked at the stupidity of some people on this site. For one, I'm reading all your past posts and they are nothing but you talking shit about being scammed by this dude and that dude left and right. How many times have you been scammed on this site? TOO MANY. Either you are so full of shit people can smell you walking a mile down the street or you're just fucking retarded plain and simple.

With that said, Pharmville IS NOT very good at replying to peoples messages. Your lucky to get a reply once every ten days. These people are going down hill fast.

IF and WHEN Pharmville reads this thread they better get their asses IN GEAR or DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK. If you can't handle business by all means show yourself the door. Nobody needs to hear about your personal problems. More than half the people on here do NOT fucking GIVE A SHIT.

IF they (their customers) GAVE A SHIT there would be hundreds of posts on their forum threads... there is not. Cause people can smell bullshit. Just leave it at the door.

By all means, IF they do come back better than ever and are able to handle business like professionals then HUGE props to them. IF NOT then don't let the door smack your ass on the way out.

Post by: killboy on March 16, 2012, 02:20 pm
So by the looks of this thread, am I fucked if I dont receive anything? I never did fe and now im glad I didnt. 

Who will handle a dispute or reselution? If it is in escrow, does that mean I may not lose out?

I feel bad for that dude who gave them 800.00, that was a horrible decision though. Im pretty sure I shoulda got something by now, and if it aint here by saturday im gonna try to get my money back since obviousley they just bounced AGAIN and who knows when they will come back. Well hopefully I hear something from them but from looking at the feedback, almost all the 50ct. Xanax orders were shipped and received.

O well, I guess no matter how careful you are on here, you still can end up broke without pills. I really wish I used a different vendor, I would have had my shit by now.

I never ordered from Pharmville but i heard nothing but good things about them. I remember a thread from Pharmville a few days ago and they explain what's going on in this thread. Very detailed!!!! I don't think that such a longtime vendor is going to scam you at all. Just be patience an i am sure, things will be fine in the end...

Look you guys, PV is a trusted vendor and the reason i finalized early was completely on me and was a special situation.. Im not looking to let this thread grow out of proportion thinking hes a scammer or what not.. Im simply trying to get their attention if possible. I noticed on another thread that they were really backed up becuz this month was like march madness or something.. they said let us have the weekend (i.e. 2morrow and sunday) to get caught up on over 250+ posts.. But im also saying that 11 days now without even a shed of light is a little unprofessional, but they are working to get a new system in place so that this doesnt happen again.

I am waiting since March 6th for my correct order from PV.  My situation is a little different though because they sent me the wrong product as apposed to nothing at all.  My PM is only 5 days unread as of now, so I guess we'll see what happens.  I still have faith in them as others and PV themselves have assured me that it will be fixed.

Every person u deal with on this site is a risk, some a bigger than others, but im not a fucking junkie. and when i spend my money on this site i am well aware of the consequences, and can definately live with the loss be it one. so just keep quiet.

My post said I have faith in PV and have been assured the issue will be fixed.  Your post was completely uncalled for.  My post contained facts, while yours just contained an ignorant rant.  I'm not sure you even read my post you quoted.  I find it funny how mad people get on here; it is relevant to share facts about vendors whether the facts are positive or negative.  If you have nothing relevant to share just don't post.

Pharmville is a very trusted vendor with a gigantic number of sales. They have a very high rating for a reason, so I would give it some time. Good luck!
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: BenJesuit on March 16, 2012, 11:35 pm
Right now, Pharmville is reorganizing. They are aware of every order that hasn't gone out or has an issue. Expect to hear from them very soon. Those with issues will get sorted out before they come back on the scene.

An unfortunate event occurred which gave them time to pause to evaluate their exponentially expanded operations. They have become a victim of their own success. There are just way too many new customers flooding them. So they need to reorganize. But MOST importantly increase security. So it's a balancing act of being able to service an ever increasing customer base while maintaining security.

You must all remember, every vendor on this site is conducting illegal business. Things that would get them put away for decades. So vendor security is a priority. A priority far above servicing clients. And rightfully so considering the stakes.

Will these issues you're having sour your relationship with Pharmville? Perhaps. Especially if you don't bother to put yourself in their shoes and see things from their perspective. But you're not going to lose money with them. You're just going to lose time and perhaps opportunity cost. But they will come through as they are one of the most honest and one of the oldest vendors on this site.

I'm not only asking for your patience, I'm asking for your understanding and faith.
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: killboy on March 17, 2012, 01:07 am
If they cant handle the new business, then why not try to limit  their supplies and preserve face? Id rather have to choose from another vendor, then wait a week for a pm to be responded to and wait two weeks for my order. I guess I will just wait hopelessly, next time I am going to pay a little more for customer service.  I had no idea it would be like this, I dont feel sorry for people who bite off more than they can chew.

@BenJesuit,

Looks like you're one of the 10+ pharmville shill accounts ...

A quick 10 minute perusal of your past posts reads like a pharmville marketing brochure.  Even the writing style is the same as Alex's  (unecessary verbosity and superflous details provided in every "explanation" (read: excuse) that "Alex" comes up with whenever something goes wrong.).

But, this post will probably go missing just like any other post that attempts to shed light on the SR vendor marketing machine that is pharmville, and the whole "pharmville is awesome and can do no wrong" subculture here.
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: BenJesuit on March 17, 2012, 01:36 am
Killboy, you're new. So you might have missed a few occurrences that happened and that affected MANY vendors. Recall the appreciation sale weekend? Notice some of the vendors who no longer exist?

Moreover, you might take a moment to think about what being a vendor on here is like. Try to imagine it. Try to imagine the risk you are taking. Try to imagine what it's like to package products and then ship then off. Try to imagine that one of the customers could be LEO?

Now try to imagine how to deal with limiting selling the most popular products on SR. Did you know it was Pharmville who came up with the idea of stealth mode?

Just think a little bit what it's like being a vendor on here. We buyers are so fortunate. We have plausible dependability. Our work involves merely buying bitcoins and learning PGP which is actually optional with many vendors.

Yeah, it sucks that you have to wait and that there's a communication blackout right now. Believe me, I get it. But I happen to see both sides of the issue. So I would take a comms black out over losing a vendor like Pharmville  permanently. 

Don't take this as me telling you to "shut up" or "stop whining" type of post. I'm just trying to fill you in on part of the situation. I hope this will bring you some understanding and reflection on what the Silk Road is and what it isn't.

Simple case of quality vs quantity.  I chose pv bc I was  told about fast turnaround, friendly cs, ect. tommorrow being day nine no product.  Look ben, if pv wants to fufill more orders then they are capable of, thats on them, but I just dont appreciate being sold on this subpar service. I placed order last week. 3 orders I placed this week already made it here. If they cant deliver their products and services in accordance with their brand name, then they should either change the brand, or quit offering that product.

Their profile says that I should contact them four days later not including the day I ordered.  ,well I tried, all I want is a dcn so I know when to be home. Is that really to much to ask for?

All the other vendors seem to make a way. I dont understand what the holdup is here.

I use superfluously verbose language and speak highly of PV as well. 
Now beyond your astounding ability to analyze text apparently, can you please provide me with some tangible evidence that i'm writing this from a 'shill account'?

Did someone take an (International) shit in your cheerios this morning or are you just mad that people can speak better then you?

+1 on the irony and if you aren't happy why don't you contact amazon customer service....oh wait this isn't amazon it just feels like it sometimes.   

It sucks to have a delay but Pharmville will take care of you when they return.  Bank on that.  Patience is key sometimes.
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: BenJesuit on March 17, 2012, 05:49 am
Interesting that a person would sign up with a new account to accuse an established member of being a shill account.

And why would a top vendor even need someone to shill for them? Backwards logic. It's the new vendors that shill accounts are made for. Especially the new scammers. Oldest trick in the book that still works for some odd reason. I guess the axiom that there's a sucker born everyday would be applicable.

You do realize that not only do the mods vouch for Pharmville, but also Dread Pirate Roberts does as well. As they do for Tony76 - another top notch vendor who goes through issues every now and again.

All the other vendors seem to make a way. I dont understand what the holdup is here.

And it was that way. I used to order overnight and it would come overnight. Good times back then. Then they dropped that for security reasons. In fact it was a mod who hinted to us that they were  going to stop Express mail service while PV was away for Ben to deal with his tragic loss. So now I use either Priority Mail or First Class. My last order I went First Class b/c I was short a few bitcoins for Priority Mail. It was shipped Monday of this week and I got it on Wednesday. Granted, I'm a regular so I'd would likely get better service. 

Also sorry to say that some vendors won't deal with certain customers if they appear to be LEO or if they might end up being a PITA to deal with in the future. I know if I were a vendor, those would be concerns of mine as I'm sure it would be if you were one.

The impatient, PM obsessive, questioning, and requiring too much hand holding customer who's only placed a small order is the one vendors loathe to deal with. I'm not saying that's you but you see that a lot on this site. And a lot of the new crop of clients are like this. I can see why stealth mode is a god send to many vendors. It helps them avoid these noobs who think that ordering from drug dealers should be like ordering off Amazon or Newegg. But I'll say this, ordering from Pharmville was kind of like that before the buyer appreciation weekend. A lot of Vendors were like that before that weekend. Some still are to some degree. Like Davidd. Sells some of the best RCs. And then there's Rocker and Galindoi who sell the best shrooms around. If you're into shrooms, I HIGHLY recommend these both. You won't regret it.  But the only people who are still getting consistent top notch service are the regulars and noobs with relatively large orders.

Anyway, I tried to explain what the hold up was based on the conversations I've had with Pharmville and some of their posts also explain what's going on. I haven't seen them abandon a client even ones that IMO deserve to be dumped. So like all of the "shill" posters (lol) have been saying, just hang in there.

Pharmville used to be my #1 and regular guys.  They decided to stop doing what made them great in the first place, and to add insult to injury basically told me there are other benzo sellers out there when I complained of their extended absence to handle things that could have been dealt with during the recent downtime.

I will probably place a few orders in the future, but my regular patronage has got to be with someone that is dependable RIGHT NOW.  Not dependable in the past, or the future; dependable right now when the order is processing.  The smaller vendors can actually handle the load, answer PMs, and are usually more personal than generic big vendors.

I'd say let them get their shit together like it used to be, and see if they haven't been replaced by then.  I'm just wondering why not re-structure when you are already on a leave of absence out of your control?

I want to make it very clear that the vast majority of my money spent has been with Pharmville, and I've been a very loyal customer for at least 4-5 months now.  I don't have a vendetta against them or anything; I'm just disappointed to see my former SR Gods fall from grace.  I've never had a bad order with them, it's more the inability to order that has been a problem.  When they ARE around they do shit right, though you may not get a PM response.

When things go as they should, PV is great.

When things do not go according to plan, it's miserable.

I ordered two separate items from them (in one order), 10 days ago.  Package came a week ago, right when I expected it to, but only one of the items was in the package.

Ok, so I sent a PM to them, explaining the situation and asking if maybe they shipped the other item in a separate package. That PM hasn't even been read yet. I sent a followup PM a couple of days ago explaining that there clearly must have been a mistake (as no other package ever arrived), and I included my encrypted address (as they asked in one of their forum updates) so they could reship. That hasn't been read either.

What concerns me is they stated that they were going to focus on the orders with issues on Thursday. That didn't happen.

Not trying to be impatient here, but "resolve" lights up in 2 days and they haven't even bothered to read my (concise, well written) PMs. I'm giving it until Tuesday afternoon, but if they haven't communicated anything on the forums by then, or responded to my PM by then, what am I supposed to do? Just wait and hope they decide to come back and fix the orders one day?
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: BenJesuit on March 17, 2012, 03:10 pm
Silk Road needs better seller tools. TOR is slow as all get out sometimes. What's needed is a PM client that downloads all the PMs. Decrypts the PGPs messages from the buyers (if they used PGP). The seller can then respond to all PMs offline. Then when the seller is done will all PMs, he hits a button that encrypts all messages to each respective buyer's public PGP and then uploads all PMs to buyer's inboxes.

This would save a huge amount of time and frustration. Maybe Warweed could make a script to do that.

Answering messages manually requires copying the PGP message into the PGP Software to decrypt, then reading it, then responding to it, then encrypting it using the buyer's public PGP key. Something they sometimes forget to add at the end of the message. I know I have forgotten to a few times and had to send it to the seller.

Big sellers need robust tools and Dread Pirate Roberts needs to address these issues if he wants to see SR grow huge.

no pills=day 8 with PV, I will never place another order through them again.  I will resort to other domestic options with vendors who reply or even "read" messages.  Hope to bring this into resolution soon. It was almost 100.00, I would have received it from any other decent domestic vendor.

I message PV as soon as they opened up again previous to this and have never gotten a reply ever also message them before and still never ever have i gotten a reply i probably wont buy from vendors who cant respond to a simple pm. but i do hear they have great service so no disrespect towards them just sharing an experience

The fact that they had good cs in the past doesnt fix the fact. My order was supposed to go out last friday or sat according to the forum updates. This is bullshit, I know it wasnt taken or lost.  I got everything else super quick. I guess I screwed up making the decision to use them as  one of my first buys. I feel selectively scammed. And I thought I had educated myself on the vendors, couldnt have been more wrong.

Bro, I feel badly for you. I do. It's the weekend and in my book, everyone deserves a bit of pleasure and escape. Hell, I'd give you a bit of my stash if I knew you IRL. I have more than I need because I stocked up because I never wanted to be caught short again. Hate having to ration my pills while guessing when the next batch will come in.

You caught Pharmville at the worst time. Anyway, I told you about the things they are sorting through right now.  Were you selectively scammed? With the loot PV pulls down, they wouldn't ever need to resort to selectively scamming people. None of the top 5 vendors would ever need to.

But definitely, something went wrong with your order. And it will get sorted? How do I know? Read a few stories like yours with people dealing with PV issues and 100% of them were sorted out.

It's like this with all the top vendors. They all always sort out issues. Might take them a while in some cases though.

And I thought I had educated myself on the vendors, couldnt have been more wrong.

You'll get you're product (or a refund), i've spoken to Alex enough to tell you with confidence he simply wouldn't selectively scam you.

Some shit went down with Ben's family (the guy who packages everything) and Alex ended up with so many order he was staying up 3-4 days straight with no sleep to fill the remaining orders msgs, he told me how bad he is physically from it at the moment.

They haven't replied to me in well over a week brother and I regularly talk to Alex by SR PM, so either something has happened that require them to have to disappear for a bit or they said fuck this we still don't have GPG fully functional, we don't have enough staff to handle the order load, and people are mean, rude and impatiently sending us unnecessary messages that we need to somehow deal with filtering so we can fill the real order's coming in, so we need to stop taking orders and put this business back together from the ground up.

I bet you on Monday morning your package will be there for you, it seem's a little unfair to decide a vendor is a selective scammer because your order didn't arrive within the week, I mean come on, be patient.  It's also the time of income tax filing, so the postal system is being stressed hard and I hear a lot of people in a lot of threads saying their product which normally comes in 3-4 days took 5-7 days or they are still waiting.

You just had the most unfortunate luck in your timing as you ordered right before (during) when they were shutting up shop and Alex wrote two LONG threads in here discussing their issues and declaring their leaving/partial reasons why, you have to give them credit for informing us at least.

At the very worst you'll end up getting a refund from Alex, at the very best he'll probably throw you some freebies in your next order cuz that's the kind of guy Alex is, they do it all the time, and it's a big reason we 'prop up' PV so much, they always have gone above and beyond and their current absence means somethings gone down or they just need to ignore the past and try and put their business together.

Well this teaches me a good lesson at least, when dealing with sr, dont put all your eggs in the same basket. I just cant believe how shit went down. I ordered 10 days ago. I am just sad, it is what it is I guess. Im gonna file a resolution and hopefully I get my money back. Does anyone know how long it says shipping before I can resolve?

Lesson learned.

Glad I stocked up.

Haha thanks.  I just want to know who gave it to me and what I did to them :D

But yeah I do feel for you killboy and i'm not trying to gloss over your problems, rather try and give you some hope that you'll have a surprise Monday.  You should keep an eye on the few threads about PV cuz there are many people exactly like you who ordered on fri/sat. and were told was shipped on mon. etc.  I don't know if any of those ppl received theirs yet, but i'd keep a close eye cuz if even one person gets theirs at least theres SOME hope.

Googleyed is selling powdered alprazolam (Xanax) for ridiculously cheap, you should jump on that, I just did (with far more BTC then I had intended, but I just can't say no to a *cough* several *cough* $120 grams of alpraz, thats fucking 500 2mg bars lol!).

I'm not sure if you'd asked/been answered this but has PV read your recent msgs to them? (in your sent folder if it's still bold it means the vendor hasn't opened the msg yet)
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: killboy on March 18, 2012, 02:55 am
So I sent Pharmville message number 2, even though the other messages were never read.  I wish I didn't tie up all that coin in that one transaction, if I get a package in the mail, that would be nice.   I cant believe I ordered when I did, sucks. I love Xanax, when I seen that deal for 1.25 a pill, I dropped like 15-20 coin.  I wish I just bought somewhere else and saved myself the hassle.  I would give a nut for a bar right now. 

Has anybody received local powder yet inside the U.S. from googleyed's domestic listings?  How easy is that shit to dose?

On top of this shit, I am new and my fucking buyer stats will be fucked if he issues me a refund.  I have only spent like 80.00 dollars and have 6 buys.  So I feel fucked either way.  How much faster would Pharmville respond if I hit his feedback with a 1? probably wont help things.  Sounds like they are sitting on a beach right now.  I wounder how many people got fucked? Surely it cant be just me.

I believe orders auto-finalize after 16 days, after which you can open a resolution claim.  I may be completely wrong though so someone else correct me if I am :P

This is what I get for being a member and studying SR and its vendors before purchasing. I ordered Thursday, then Friday they announce they cannot fulfill their orders, so instead of going stealth, they just fuck over the new people I guess.  Then they don't reply.  And that was the rest of my money until I get paid again.  It just isn't right.  I should have just paid double on here or IRL.  My first experience here is SHIT (with a trusted vendor) that is!
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: killboy on March 18, 2012, 03:36 am
IRL, you give your guy the cash, he disappears for a few seconds, only to reappear.  If you call his cell he answers. If after 11 days he doesnt answer and still has your money, it is say to say you got ripped off.  Thats how i feel about this.  And to believe i took up for SR to others IRL who put it down, I couldn't have been more wrong.  They were like look"at that price, I will get a better deal locally".  The only reason I ordered from them was the "deal" I thought I would have in my hands in a week or less.

If the rest of the orders went out monday, and mine went out by then, i should have it, I am domestic. shit, I get coast to coast orders in two days.  There is no way It is in the mail or was ever sent.

Post by: lvlbrained on March 18, 2012, 04:49 pm
you should be able to go into resolution or very soon. go into your order section on sr and hover the mouse over the resolution button under or above the finalize button. if its clickable you can go into resolution now if not when you hover the cursor over it it will tell you how long you have to wait. honestly plenty of poeple on here have been scammed so your freaking out over having your funds tied up for alittle while seems abit stupid. i've had packages take over 40 days to arrive i didnt have a melt down on the forum over it. 
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: killboy on March 18, 2012, 05:31 pm
yeah, it just sucks to see all these people who ordered the exact same thing get theirs and leave feedback and mine never arrived.  Maybe it is stuck in the mail somewhere, but generally speaking, everything else has made it so fast. I just wish they had made sure i was taken care of before disappearing into the abyss.  If i could at least talk to somebody, that would be better than nothing.  If they could give me a dcn, that would be nice. But  I get no response, no dcm, and no idea if or when they will ever even return. 
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: lvlbrained on March 18, 2012, 05:43 pm
just assume it wasnt sent, go into resolution and get your money back. if somehow it shows up then you can just send them the money back. if you are real desperate go get a 75$ money pack and order off someone else and maybe you will get that by middle of week. other then that just chill out.

Damn killboy, you really do need a benzo or 3..lol. Try not to get so wound up and upset, what is it going to help? I know shit like this sucks trust me, I finally got scammed for around $70 with a different vendor after 9 perfect orders. Sure I let myself get a little mad for a little bit and made a few posts about it in the appropriate thread, but at the end of the day you have to remember what were all doing here on SR, and that is for the most part buying and selling illegal drugs. Regardless of if its IRL or on the internet, if you continue to play the game, you are guaranteed to get ripped off at some point, just one of the risks involved in the drug trade. Don't spend what you can't afford to lose is all, I hope everything gets sorted out for you brother, just be patient and remember to breath man(really). Take it easy

The Resolve option has opened up for me.  I still have 7 days left before it auto-finalizes though.  Because of the current situation,  would it be best to just wait until it gets closer to the auto-finalization date before hitting resolve?  I haven't ever had to resolve and don't want to as I know PV will fix this when they get their operation back up.  As I understand, going into resolution will also hurt my buyer stats.  Please don't reply to this unless it is constructive advice.  I've had 7 transactions, >100 BTC spent, 0% refund rate, 0% auto-finalize.  Really just looking for help.

Thank You

I'd say you ppl should just wait until Monday.  It's either late Sunday or already early Monday right now and they don't deliver mail on the weekends (Sundays) right?
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: comeattmebro on March 19, 2012, 02:45 pm
Pharmville used to be my #1 and regular guys.  They decided to stop doing what made them great in the first place, and to add insult to injury basically told me there are other benzo sellers out there when I complained of their extended absence to handle things that could have been dealt with during the recent downtime.

I will probably place a few orders in the future, but my regular patronage has got to be with someone that is dependable RIGHT NOW.  Not dependable in the past, or the future; dependable right now when the order is processing.  The smaller vendors can actually handle the load, answer PMs, and are usually more personal than generic big vendors.

I'd say let them get their shit together like it used to be, and see if they haven't been replaced by then.  I'm just wondering why not re-structure when you are already on a leave of absence out of your control?

I want to make it very clear that the vast majority of my money spent has been with Pharmville, and I've been a very loyal customer for at least 4-5 months now.  I don't have a vendetta against them or anything; I'm just disappointed to see my former SR Gods fall from grace.  I've never had a bad order with them, it's more the inability to order that has been a problem.  When they ARE around they do shit right, though you may not get a PM response.


ahahah you are such a little bitch. every thread i click on there you are pissing and moaning about how much loyalty and respect you deserve. you are such a queer.

Looking over your post history, I'm thinking that by now you must be done with Silk Road. I can't think of anyone who has lost more money so many times. You've been scammed by MoneyPak to BTC dealers 3 times. Scammed by vendors a few times.

With all that, I'm curious as to why you finalized early with Pharmville as you say you have? One would think you'd have learned your lesson about losing money on Silk Road that you'd follow every protocol there is to prevent further losses.

If you're going to get the powdered form, make sure you get a milligram scale.
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: quinone on March 20, 2012, 07:29 pm
If you're going to get the powdered form, make sure you get a milligram scale.

Or at the very least know how to volumetrically dose (eg. weigh 100mg into 100ml ethanol, 1mg/ml).

Problem with milligram scales is that a real milligram scale cost $800+ ($2000 for a 'decent' one).
I've seen 'milligram scales' on e-bay for $25 but they don't even have a draft shield (air has mass too).  I just couldn't trust my life to one of those, I HIGHLY doubt the last decimal is even close.  But to each their own and yes like he said you should have a good scale, alprazolam isn't shit to fuck around with in it's pure powder, 2mg is a very small quantity with hefty effects (on a non-benzo user), 10mg is a very small quantity that will knock you out for 3 days.

Post by: DivineMomentsofTruth on March 20, 2012, 10:28 pm
I'm planning on doing the same killboy but id probably make a 10mg/1ml solution instead of 1:1 and use a dropper bottle which drops roughly 1/20th of a mg so that each drop is around .5mg. I too am wondering about how long the solution would last...might have better luck getting an answer on BL.

@ Benjesuit

Yes, i have been scammed 3 seperate times all by MP to BTC exchangers, but FE on one of those deals doesnt even matter its a huge risk any way u look at it, that all happened back in SEPTEMBER<OCTOBER 2011 ive stopped that and just use Dwolla and Mt.gox now.. As far as getting scammed by a vendor My only post was to ask what is fair if the vendor actually fucked up my address, when their homepage says to type it exactly as you want it, and they legitimately fucked up on a 400 $ order, that vendor was Pharmville, but guess what he was nice enough to fully replace the order cuz he realized that Alex had typed ALPHA instead of ALAPA....

So the reason PV asked me to FE was regarding something that happened becuz of that mistake... and to alleviate losing any more money, they wanted me to FE and if something happened it would be on me which i agreed to..

So let me ask you, YOu all come on here and back up Pharmville, (which i have no problem with this vendor until now this lack of communication) but u throw the book at me calling me stupid and shit for FE, Would you not of FE for this reputable vendor....????????
Title: Re: wth Pharmville
Post by: BenJesuit on March 21, 2012, 04:15 pm
I have never finalized early for any vendor nor ever will. But what I do is to finalize on delivery. The escrow system is there for a reason. Anything at anytime can happen to any vendor. After all, this is illicit exchange.
