I know he's been blowing up lately, so hopefully people here can share recent experiences. I've ordered from a few times and on each one, when he marked it shipped he also sent me the tracking info (that's his deal if you use a No Escrow listing). This time though, no tracking. I do believe the pack was sent, but I don't think I'm going to get tracking. And reading his recent reviews I'm definitely not the only one.
Personally, I think it's bullshit to tell people you'll send them tracking if they do No Escrow then not send them tracking or reply to messages (people also saying he won't reply in reviews). The reason being is we, as buyers, are fucked if something goes wrong on a No Escrow order. I would normally never do No Escrow or FE. The only reason I do it is because homeboy says he'll send me tracking and that's HUGE. Knowing when your pack will land is a game changer. It allows you to plan out your week and manage your expectations, plus it removes any doubt or worry that your pack won't land.
I know it's not fucking Amazon, but just don't advertise that you'll send tracking if you won't. I think due to blowing up he's just massively busy and that's why he's not sending it & ignoring messages. Sucks when that happens, it's always when vendors start to go downhill. Reviews show packs still landing so I don't think it's an exit. I have faith my pack will land but SP should update his profile on that tracking promise if he isn't gonna be fulfilling it. Once I get my pack I'll politely message him my thoughts on this.
So, people who have purchased recently.. like last 2ish weeks cause that's when the problems seem to have started. Did you get your tracking (if FE or No Escrow)? Anyone flat out not get a pack?
UPDATE: I received this order only two days late and that was due to weather delays. I since then decided to give it one more shot and made another order. This time, to make it easier for SP, I included my PGP key right after my encrypted addy. He promptly got that order out AND sent me tracking right away. He only sends tracking via PGP encryption (no priv notes) so instead of making him go through extra steps to look up your key, include it right there in your initial order message. Just a tip if anyone else was in the same boat as me. He's clearly a busy guy so making it easier for him has an impact.
I got my order a little over a week ago but I’m pretty sure he sent tracking info when he marked it shipped. I got the pack but it took a little longer than usual due to the winter storm that hit at the time. Wasn’t more than a week total though.
