[Warning] [Possible Scammer] Pretty sure Synester is scamming. Been nearly 2 weeks on a priority and nothing but excuses.


UPDATE: Received order T-18 days after clicking. Was a little heavy to make up for the wait.


As the title says, I think vendor Synester (sells [almost exclusively] etizolam powder) is scamming/at least selectively scamming.

Like many other vendors in this "dark time" he now only accepts FE orders "while Agora is so unreliable," even though it's been lightening-fast and damn reliable for what now, a couple weeks? But I digress. . .

I've had several successful orders from him/her in the past so I had no trouble FEing on smallish orders. And it came pretty quick first couple times.

Now, it's been 12 days and nothing. There are a couple 3/5 0/5 reviews above my order, other customers figuring it out as well.

But there's a stack of "5/5 FE will update" reviews hiding the trouble and thus keeping the coin FEing it's way into Synester's wallet.

Here's some (Bullshit smelling) excuse from the profile page on Agora:

6/8/15 There was a huge mixup on orders on and around the 31st. Only happened on orders around that time, please message me about your order if you made it around then so I can check the info for you with my shipper! Presently catching up with everything and getting back to everyone about their order information. I have real life excuses and I'm not going to go into them, but my communication is back on game and my shipper is straightened up back to usual. Within the next couple days we hope to be back on track. Your order will be compensated with extra for any unnecessary delays!

There are a couple negative reviews only here on Agora because they're from the 31st, I completely understand their frustrations. But I'm no scammer and I'm going to make things right.

I hope he/she is telling the truth, and I will edit this post if/when I find out. For now, I would steer clear of Vendor Synester.

My shipper has been lazy the past 2 1/2 weeks and fucked up real bad on orders around the 1st. I'm not a scammer, just getting a LOT of messages about this right now. Literally 10+ people with this problem and I'm slowly making things right with everyone. I know things have been delayed but please give me time before calling scam! I'm expecting to catch up within the next couple days. Only just 2 days ago we started shipping the delayed orders so this is why a lot of people are calling scam on me. Please just stay in contact everyone who has this problem and I will not do you wrong. I am literally sending free Express for people and sending 50-100mg extra, PLEASE be patient with me! I am a genuine vendor, my shipper just fucked up badly around the 1st.

I am not a customer of yours, nor have I ever vended but your shipper doesn't sound like much of a shipper. Maybe you should get a new shipper or do it yourself till someone trustworthy cam be found.

UPDATE 3

Still nothing here.

At first I was sure things would be right by the end of the week and people would start getting their orders.

Syn even "upgraded shipping" for us.

'He's not a scammer,' I thought.

I was right there with you guys saying "shit happens, it's getting fixed. Syn is a stand-up vendor, give him a chance to make it right."

Now I am honestly not sure whether or not syn is really scamming here. I don't think anyone has received anything at all since the last week of May.

His reluctance to put up moderately-higher-in-price escrow listings this week does not look good considering all of this. Especially with another week of SuperAgora running like Amazon, what's his excuse?

Getting people to FE (and he still is, people are still ordering and leaving "FE, will update. I have faith it will come") for as long as possible before pulling out with the BTC is what this is looking more and more like.

I ordered with two nights left in May people. . .

But by all means, be my guest. Keep FEing and buying this phantom product syn has listed. See if he can keep it going into July?

/u/synester - this is getting fucking ridiculous and you know it and we both have spoken about this on alpha, you know who I am and this is just getting worse and worse. I was nice enough to leave 5/5 after recieving a priority package late as fuck and was compensated a measly 50mg if I was to make an positive review.

This order better be here on time and better be quality etiz, I'm not giving you another bullshit 5/5 rating.

Still nothing here.

UPDATE 2

Still nothing here on Friday, June 12.

Clicked order May 30th.


[2 Points] throwawayyhoo:

What the fuck is going on, if you're sending express how come the orders haven't arrived yet? its been three days, express should have arrived. I think this needs more attention. If synester is legit everyone will know because everyone on this thread will get their packs. if not, likewise-- everyone one will know. This needs more visibility though, the rep of a established vendor is at stake here. No matter whats going on more people need to be talking about it.


[2 Points] w6l4xd:

So what's the verdict here? Do people feel comfortable making orders with /u/synestter? Do they have confidence it will arrive within 5 days at the MOST and likely within 3 days.

I mean, I'm about to go back to clearnet sources for bulk eti. If shipping times from synester are going to be 18 days, why not buy 10 grams from China instead? It won't take that much longer, if any longer at all.

Am I being unreasonable here?

Synester's profile DOES NOT have an encouraging message at the top, telling us all about how shipping is back to priority, and goes out the next/same day.


As an aside, if I don't hear from synester that shipping is back to normal, I will make the plunge overseas for bulk eti.

Incidentally, by the time synester's packs from this week start landing, I'll be able to set up shop and start vending with 150 mg, 300 mg, 500 mg and 1 gram listings available.

There's obviously a demand for it.

And I will ship same day/next day until I run out,

-------> At which point I WILL TAKE DOWN THE LISTINGS <--------- not leave them up so people keep buying what I don't have to sell.

> > > Bonus I'll offer escrow, too! < < <


But I don't want to do any of that. I want to be able to confidentially order from /u/synestter, who has an absolute gem of a product at a reasonable price.

I'll only go for bulk elsewhere if synester can't prove that he's back to business as usual, namely that he/she at least acknowledges the part of his profile proclaiming:

USA domestic shipping

--Shipping is Monday-Friday--
Always ships same day/next day

(which is at the bottom of his profile page and was when I ordered back in May)

hasn't been the case at all lately and that he has it fixed and back under control.

Just an update saying he's able to ship same/next day, that's all it would take. Otherwise I can't bring myself to make another order.

Shit happens. We had to burn all our stock and cancel like 20 orders recently. Not literally burn it. That would be suspicious. But you know what I mean.

I also don't ship shit myself for the most part and it can be frustrating trying to coordinate with someone who was reliable but might be undergoing some sort of life circumstance that they're not forthcoming about.

Usually if possible I will double users' orders if they are in such a situation. So give him some time. His reasoning only sounds like bullshit because you can't exactly detail your personal struggles to your customer base as a vendor without it being/looking even worse.


[1 Points] None:

It's been 14 days since my order was mark shipped... I still haven't gotten a conformation. I was told it "should" have been "resent" on Monday(June 8th)?


[1 Points] wtstalin:

It took 13 days for me to get mine. Just be patient


[1 Points] chef234:

I just got my order for 1g yesterday, toko a while to confirm shipping but he's legit.

UPDATE 4

Finally received my order. T-18 days.

I sure hope Synester is back on track. I enjoy his/her product and it would be a shame if it disappeared.
