Vendor review - DrRX (Agora)

0/5 in all categories. I am new to Agora, and I placed 3 orders with this vendor last Wednesday, expecting that they would likely arrive on Monday. I just discovered on Sunday evening that all 3 orders had been cancelled without explanation. I messaged the vendor and politely asked why. His response was: "you did everything wrong. You did not read my profile saying that you must have 5 orders and you chose add-on shipping instead of priority mail."

Well. Let's go over a few things, shall we? First, I did read his profile. The part about 5 orders didn't make sense to me - how can I have 5 orders until I first place an order with a vendor? Perhaps he meant that one must have 5 orders with other vendors, but he didn't say that, and I don't have ESP. Second, if one is not allowed to choose add-on shipping, why is it listed as an option? You mean that if I buy one single pill just to use up my extra BTC I have to pay for full shipping all over again? That's bullshit. Third, his response was curt and rude.

I have been using DNMs for 1.5 years with several vendors and markets and never had a problem like this before. I was hardly doing "everything" wrong. This guy obviously doesn't want my business, and so he's not going to get it. He is a rude, unprofessional prick. I strongly advise you to avoid DrRX.

Give vendor 0/5 because my reading comprehension is one of 3rd grader

So are you saying that you didn't select priority on at least one order with this vendor? The "add-on" shipping option is there so if you order multiple items, you only pay for shipping once - Agora (and most DNMs) you need to manually select the right shipping vs. add-on and its up to the buyer to do this properly. If you did select priority shipping on at least one order with DrRx, then you are right on that account, but it sounds like you selected the free, add-on shipping for each item with DrRx.

On the "must have 5 orders to order" you answered your own question I think. Obviously it would be impossible for a newbie to have 5 orders with a vendor. So he has to mean 5 orders with other vendors to show you aren't a scammer - although this is a low barrier to entry, but better than nothing I suppose (someone could chose very cheap items from other vendors to fulfill this requirement).

I had the same issue back when Evo collapsed. I saw the 5 order requirement but thought nothing of it b/c I had a shitload of orders - but on Evo. He cancelled my order w/o explanation and I was confused but then checked out my orders and at the time, I didn't use agora a whole lot and only had a couple of orders (thought I had more, plus I had been on Evo with so many orders that it didn't faze me when I saw it). Anyway, it is what it is. He's gotten a lot of rave reviews on here and I've spoken with people who love him. He's efficient from what I understand. I need to try him out.

Wow, I'm not sure where to start with these responses. I guess I'll start with the 1st guy. I have probably placed close to 100 orders on dnms. I am a veteran of SR2, Pandora, Bluesky, Evo, and Blackbank. I am new to Agora only. I have never used a vendor that had a previous order requirement. It strikes me as an extremely odd requirement; if every vendor did that, no new customers would be able to use the market. So odd, in fact, that I wondered if the vendor really meant it. I mean, does he want business or not? In my book, that is a perfectly logical explanation - there is nothing dumb or dishonest about it, intellectually or otherwise. As for the shipping charge issue, I think the 2nd commentor hit the mark. I chose priority mail for the 1st order and add-on for the next 2. Its what I always do, and again, its never been a problem before. As for lickcunt's insinuation that I have inferior reading comprehension, I'd bet 5 BTC that I can read circles around you. I tested out of all my high school English requirements as a sophomore. I have read most of Shakespeare, Hemingway, Mark Twain, Hawthorne, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Chekov, etc, etc, and I can read Spanish. I just don't make assumptions about what someone means if it is ambiguous. And as for the accusation that I wasted his time, I have this to say: bullshit. I made an honest attempt to place orders with the dude worth around $150 despite never having done business with him before. Perhaps I made an error, but I'm human for Christ's sake. Isn't my time worth as much as his? He's a darknet vendor - if he can't handle the occasional waste of time and respond politely to a 1st time customer who made a very minor screw up, he is more a "baby boy" than I am.

Ultimately, The Economist is right in that "it is what it is" and I have already moved on. My goal in posting this was merely to warn other potential customers who, like me, might be audacious enough to think that any vendor, on DNMs or anywhere, who truly wants business, should not place unreasonable restrictions on their customers and should communicate clearly and courteously with those customers. If any such customers out there read this, let them be warned - there are plenty of other pharmaceutical vendors to choose from.

Economist, that's exactly what I mean. It doesn't really matter, but it's good to know that someone out there got my point. After all, one of the major points of these markets is that unlike IRL drug deals, here we can scrutinize as ordinary consumers would do. You wouldn't put up with that crap at your local hardware store. As long as you have choices, why do it here on the DNMs?
