The official "Poppermachine is a dumbass" Thread

Well, I took the mod's advice and deleted my thread, but you guys know the deal. I had some serious issues with my recent packages and I'm going to do my best to fix all of these issues for those who FE'd. I do not think I am in direct danger, but I made a serious mistake with my shipping process. You guys can make fun of me all you want, but I literally went to the front desk with an "example" of what one of my packages would have been, and they told me that as long as it was under 13 oz, there should have been no problem with the postage or putting a packages like that into a dropbox. Sorry I am not an expert at postage rules, but when the front counter people tell you that a package is OK, you tend to assume they are right, and I have used similar packaging for months and never had this problem. The PO in charge of this mail is probably just extra strict or something.

If you have any problems with your order (most likley due to FE) contact me here or on the market in which your order was placed, I will work this out. I can say that I do not plan on retiring, but once I the FE orders are taken care of, there will likley be a change in management which you will all be made aware of the moment it happens. That's all I can say about that at the moment. I know these events may have shaken the faith that my loyal customers have built up with me, but I am going to do everything in my power to make this right.

I take my customer security very seriously, to the point where most people would probably say that I over-romantisize my role as a vendor. I literally started out with less than nothing; I had a backpack full of MXE on credit while living out of my pot dealers closet, with nothing but a comforter for a bed. I'm not wealthy, but I have come a long, long way since those days, and I owe the increase in my standard of living to my customers. I would be heartbroken if anything ever happened to anybody because of a mistake that I made.

I've showed these thread(s) to my current debtors, and have been granted a very generous extention on my most serious debts. However, selling off this current batch of what I have left will just barley take me out of the red. My future as an MXE vendor is very uncertain. I do not have much of a choice but to continue for now, but only for as long as I have physical product in stock. It will be very difficult for me to secure another loan after this, although the fact that I immediatley came clean definitley works in my favor. Thanks again for everyone who has helped me in the past, I would be less than a heaping pile of trash without you guys.

So what did you do that was so dumb? I like learning from others mistakes

Ok guys, I think that once I clear all of this up I'm going to re-open with only first class as the only available shipping option. The issue seems to be that "if it fits, it ships" only applies to flat rate boxes, not flat rate envelopes. This is the first time in years of vending that I've had this problem, but I travel all over the country so it could have just been a real dick of a postal worker deciding to stick his foot up my ass.

Just so you guys know, my debtors are about to come pick me up and take me out for dinner to talk; I have not finished canceling all orders, I will finish by the end of the night I just don't want anyone freaking out because I'm not online for the next hour or two. I should have more information about my future as a vendor when I get back. Hopefully I will have all FE orders packaged tonight and new listings up with first class packaging up tommorow.

In b4 someone claims this is a prelude to a cut and run. Can't wait to prove the haters wrong.

Well fuck me. My drugs are in a hole in the woods, my trash in a public dumpster more than a mile away, I've securely erased my hard drive, and I can't find my damn shovel because I was on a nice heavy dose of MXE when I read your previous thread. Fueled by drugs indeed.


[5 Points] YourOldPalHoward:

You're a real class act.


[4 Points] poppermachine:

I am going to cancel all pending orders, and re-list my listings so that everyone has the chance of choosing if they still want to deal with me after this. I totally understand if people think this is too much of a fuck up to keep doing business with me; I tried my hardest to avoid these situations but honestly I feel like it was totally out of my control.

I didn't see right quick that it was you posting this, and I came into this thread ready to back you up, but now I see. I suppose something is compromised here, and I guess it would be nice to know any details about what happened that you can give us.


[2 Points] Nobu7:

FYI your old thread that you deleted has not really gone anywhere. I can still view it. I could post the URL here and other people could view it (I'm not going to).


[2 Points] N2speed:

As fucked up as it is, it is what it is. This is a very human mistake. Props for being so cool, you seem like an honest person. I hope it all works out for all. I would really be pissed off if I were a customer though.


[1 Points] scf14443444:

So if we did FE about how long can we expect the orders to ship if we don't want refunds?

All I have is one question, are you actually a popper machine? (poppers being tobacco stuck in an acrylic bong stem with weed on top)


[1 Points] creamynebula:

Do you ship internationally?


[1 Points] poppermachine:

Ok, that took way longer than I thought, partially because I passed out for a few hours as soon as I got back. Back to business, no sleep tonight.

Wow this is one of the few times I can remember that a vendor has admitted to mucking up. You even describe your product nicely instead of just saying "microbeads" which says a lot. Technically "grainy sand" could be construed as "microbeads". Props to you for being very descriptive. I'm done with MXE (why is there microbead and the creeper sandy/finer MXE when its all the same substance?) until there is consistency but keep on with what you are doing!

Ordered from you twice (not this batch) and have always defended you here for a reason... I'd rather pay a small premium for honesty and you don't seem to be all diso'd out and nonfunctional (aka most MXE dealers which leads to their failure).

If you are really in financial ruins hammocks are more than likely more comfortable than a couch / floor. Here is an example:

Poppermachine so dumb it took him 2 hours to watch 60 minutes.


[-2 Points] Boosie5150:

hahaha $500 that he just didn't put enough postage.

I'm calling BS. He lost money because the btc price tanked and didn't want to fulfill orders. Post pics of tracking with sensitive info blurred out. Anyone who orders from this guy after this is a fool
