I thought I found a new go-to vendor, even left a nice review praising my last pack from him (which I will be ammending since he has lost my trust). -Shipping and packaging was on point no complaints there.
But for some reason he changed some listings to direct-pay only....okay thats fine market is volatile and I've gotten a few packs from him so I decided to go for it.
Terrible choice, this is what he sent me featured up top : https://imgur.com/a/0Mc5Y
Compare to his picture on the item page description : https://ibb.co/hYqKSb
What DDF sent me last time when I paid the same price as the charcoal is on the right and....looks like the item's picture description.
This is garbage trim run and for him to think I would be content with this shit is beyond insulting. These dabs will sit in my freezer for when I feel like making brownies since I cant dab it and can barely touch it without it clinging to my fingers like a facehugger.
I reached out to vendor and he pretty much said "everyone else is happy with it" and after I replied with a picture he stopped replying.
Feeling the need to take the initiative to prevent these bait and switch scams from occuring to other innocent people I am informing the community to stay in escrow or at least find a vendor who is honest about his representation of product and/or is willing to make their loyal customers happy.
I wanted to end this with saying I gave the vendor every chance to make it right in some fashion and the only thing he offered was a "slight" discount on my "next order" which will be never. On a positive note I reached out to CGMC support warning them of this issue as I am not the only one affected and they were very quick to respond.
* EDIT: Since posting this the vendor has reached out to communicate with me, so he has been responsive to PMS as of lately I'd like to add. Thx
*EDIT 2 : Vendor has reached out to me and worked with me to find an agreeable resolution to the situation. This vendor has put effort into trying to make me happy even after a direct-pay and that says a lot in my opinion.
That actually looks like charcoal
