Something up with grandpajoe! Suggest staying away

I ordered from grandpa joe over a week ago, still no package or anything, a couple of other people have also reported having issues. Two days ago he said he would look into tracking that night but has been a ghost since, not even logged into market.

I would reccomend staying away from him right now, especially because he is fe only. It wasn't a loss I couldn't sustain, but still shows to NEVER FE even with a vendor you've used many times in the past.

Not looking good.

Edit: Not trying to say scam or anything, I really don't know whats up since he hasn't logged on, there's just something odd about a 3 day no show with no announcement and multiple people not having packs land

I didn't trust Grandpa Joe from the jump. Sure he seems friendly enough but doesn't anyone remember him telling Charlie Bucket it was cool to drink the Fizzy Lifting Drink? How did that work out? Almost got Charlies ass chopped up in some menacing metal rotary blades.

Where did you come from where did you go, where did you come from grandpa joe.

If it hadn't been for grandpa joe, you'da got your pack long time ago.

Where did you come from where did you go, where did you come from grandpa joe.

Sorry kids, reality interfered with this little fictional world we've created for ourselves and I have been unable to get to internet access for the past few daze.

Y'all gotta realize that this isn't like running an Amazon or eBay store where you can just check your phone inline at the Piggly Wiggly and deal with orders. If something comes up (which it does sometimes) it's not like I can just bust out a tweet a minute update or live stream the issue for you to diagnose.

GPJ

Shit's fucked up. GPJ seemed legit, but then don't they all?

I didn't lose a "lot" but I lost enough to mess up my plans for the near future.

Ok I'm going to preface this by saying that I've never used GPJ before, but about a week ago I sent him a message on nucleos asking about doing a DD, and I never heard anything from him.

I wouldn't jump straight to scam, if he was just going to exit, I'm sure he'd have loved to let me send him some BTC for an order he would never ship.

I'm more inclined to believe he's just having issues fulfilling orders, possibly supply chain issues.

It's sad. I used him several times. Best weed vendor ever. No exaggeration. Someone mentioned back in the spring it would only be a matter of time before he exit scammed. It was hard to believe back then. Still is hard to believe considering how everything from his customer service to his product were nothing short of exceptional.

He came through this week for me but looks like he hasn't logged on in a couple of days. He could be taking care of his flower


[2 Points] rogueXleader:

I'll admit, this is beginning to be a bit longer than I've seen him away for in the past (usually logs in frequently enough to not have orders auto-cancel) without going on vacation. Been keeping an eye on it, as I've only been using GPJ for my smokes and dabs for months and just got something this week. My suggestion is bringing it to support's attention. They occasionally take a day or so to respond, but I've brought up vendors going AWOL in the past and they've been happy to reach out to the vendor and do some investigation. If his account is inactive long enough, they'll put it into vacation mode until they figure out what's up. I can't imagine what's happened that's kept him away this long, but hope he's alright

There is no reason to believe that GPJ has gone bad. He always delivers. He hadn't logged since the 4th. , he has since logged on the 8th. Nuke admins put his account on vacation, so im sure he is just getting that stuff sorted.

Nov 4 - Nov 8th thats 4 days , durring which time, the DNM took a giant shit AND bitcoin prices were fluctuating up and down, seems normal to wait for the dust to settle before continuing business.

I bet he will not only return, but make good on any orders that are outstanding. He is one of the most creditable vendors ive delt with.

Hang in there, shit will even out the DNM does this every 3 months or so lol.

I've gotten two QP's from him of the purps and trainwreck in the past two weeks without any problems. There could be something new up I guess though.


[1 Points] rogueXleader:

He's always done right by me, although he can at times be slow to communicate, drop, or sometimes even log in to the market. I can't count the number of direct deals I've done with him that have gone without a hitch. I know at one point there was an issue with his labels coming off during transit and I had one sit at a sorting hub for a week and back to the state of origin before it finally got directed to the right place. I would be incredibly saddened if GPJ scammed anyone. Got some of his oils and Trainwreck this week no problem


[1 Points] coconuts90210:

would be sad to hear if he's gone.

i ordered last week DD with no problems.


[1 Points] ratiur254:

In the same boat, going on 8 days since confirmation and nothing.......


[1 Points] ItsMeFolks:

I ordered on Saturday, Tuesday it was here and nice. Cinex. Fastest yet!

I haven't written reviews here on Reddit (taking HOS' advice--I do have some pictures though) so my input is practically useless, but for what it's worth or just to add to conversation, I have used GPJ several times (almost exclusively but he was away for parts of the summer) over the past half year and have never had a problem with an order so I've never spoken to him either. But when Evo/Agora went down I "trusted" him enough to FE (personal amounts) on Nucleus and still do "trust." I creep his Reddit account when it's time to buy to see what's up, check for red flags, sub search his name to see what others are saying, read the recent feedback on his Nucleus page, etc and have yet to see anything to raise suspicion. I've found he's pretty responsive when anyone mentions him here. I will admit it'd be cool if he could give updates on when he'll know his log-in time will be spotty in his description like he does on here but shit happens, I don't expect anyone to be able to predict the future. I understand it's different when he has your money and disappears.

Anyone who is talking about his absences over the summer: I remember he announced several times when he would be "in and out of office" or not-as-available-as full time and when he would be back full time, mostly in the deals threads IIRC.

Obviously trust no one and use a vendor/market that uses escrow if possible/something makes you doubt them in the slightest. I like to believe GPJ will sort everything out, though. He seems like a pretty top dude and I've been mentally referring to him as my grandpa this entire time and it would suck to find out your criminal grandpa is even more criminalier. Also he sells me drugs. Drugs that I want to buy but don't think I can until account is out of investigation/vacation.
