Good day Reddit,
There's recently been some discussion among many people never receiving orders, never having orders shipped out, and receiving no communication from vendor DakotaFred.
I am one of those people, and I warned in a previous thread to stay far away so your money doesn't end up lost/tied up in escrow like mine. I placed an order 9 days ago, which was accepted within hours (preventing me from cancelling, of course). DakotaFred then proceeded to not login at all for 4 consecutive days, and ignore several messages from myself and several other buyers.
On Tuesday, I was finally sent a reply telling me that he was "away for the weekend" and that my order was being shipped presently. This was not true and my order has still not moved beyond "confirmed" and no product has been received by myself or a number of other users. DakotaFred then proceeded to not login for multiple consecutive days again, until today, Friday.
He is now pulling all of his listings and claims to have sent out outstanding orders (I have my doubts) and has entered vacation mode. Please find his "announcement" from his vendor page below:
ANNOUNCEMENT!!
I HAVE DECIDED TO STOP OFFERING PRODUCTS ON THE DNMS.. POSSIBLY PERMANENTLY. I FIND MYSELF SPENDING MORE TIME TRYING TO REFRESH PAGES, CHANGE ORDER STATUSES AND GENERALLY ACCESS AGORA THAN I DO FILLING YOUR ORDERS AND MY BUSINESS HAS SUFFERED BECAUSE OF IT. I APOLOGIZE IF THIS HITS ANYONE AT A BAD TIME BUT I AM TIRED OF THE STRESS AND DONT SEE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO EFFECT CHANGE.
FOR NOW MY ACCOUNT IS ON VACATION MODE UNTIL I HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH MESSAGES AND CHANGING ORDER STATUSES. WHEN I AM CAUGHT UP, I WILL BEGIN SELLING THE REMAINDER OF MY STOCK, WHICH CURRENTLY CONSISTS OF ABOUT 200G+ OF THE ABSOLUTE SHATTER AND A SMALL NUMBER OF VIALS AND SYRINGES.
PLEASE DO NOT FE. IT ONLY CAUSES CONFUSION AND I WANT TO LEAVE THE DNM WITH AS CLEAR A CONCIOUS AS WHEN I ENTERED IT.
ANY ORDERS THAT ARE CURRENTLY MARKED CONFIRMED ARE MOST LIKELY SHIPPED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A SMALL FEW. WHICH WILL BE SHIPPED TODAY.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR LOYALTY AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE FEW PEOPLE THAT I CONSIDER FRIENDS HERE.. IM SURE YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
ITS BEEN REAL, ITS BEEN FUN.. BUT IT AINT BEEN REAL FUN.
KEEP IT CLASSY AGORA!
YOUR FRIEND,
DakotaFred
TL;DR Do not order from DakotaFred, if you have an outstanding order, it's likely time to begin the resolution process. The vendor has still not replied to any of my inquiries or requests about my order.
Just received this message from him after entering resolution and asking that my order be canceled: "Listen.. You're order is shipped. I am not going to refund the order. EVER. So calm your tits and stop acting like you're in charge, because you're not.. I am. Know your role bitch. 2014-09-05 21:34 UTC (T-14m)"
