Scammed by DoChippyLove. Please Avoid!

I want to preface by saying that I have dealt with Chip for about 6 months on and off the market. He is no longer an active vendor on Dream but when he was, he was an outstanding vendor with great communication, customer service and accountability. After multiple issues with buyers not FE Chip moved offline to only direct deals. I bought from chip for a few months directly and for the most part everything went smoothly.

It wasn't until recently where things began to slip. On occasion there would be delays with some of his shipments, which wasn't a big deal since I would eventually receive the pack. He would then stop taking orders for a while to restock on inventory which is also reasonable. Unfortunately I began to give him too much credit and trusted him a little too much. My last deal with him was of course my largest. Over 2.5k sent directly to him. I waited the usual 3-4 days for shipping. Nothing. Turns out he wasn't able to ship the product in a timely fashion due to some logistical issues. Eventually I waited about a week and received the package. Opened it up and there was nothing inside besides the decoy that was used. I contacted him immediately and he said his packager screwed up and must have forgot to include 2.5k worth of product inside the box (right..). On top of that he screwed up the address which is sort of a blessing in disguise since there was nothing inside the box. Chip goes to his packager to get this settled and apparently it was a human error. At this point I'm skeptical and request to either get the pack shipped out immediately or receive a refund. He says he will ship it out the following week. It has now been 1 ½ weeks and he is no longer communicating back.

Anyone that is currently dealing directly with Chip, I would highly advise against it. He's probably exiting the game and seeing how much he can collect before leaving. Let this be a lesson to you all that do direct deals. As great as a vendor currently is you're always susceptible to getting scammed by greedy vendors.

I'm generally a lurker but I had to make an account to comment since my experience has been similar. I've dealt with Chippy in smaller amounts and he's always come through but I tried contacting him directly and he's been unresponsive lately. Hopefully you get your pack or cash back man! Appreciate the warning too!

I’m gonna see what’s up with him. If he IS scamming, this is sad. He sent a package to me a couple days ago and I still haven’t gotten tracking yet. I will report back soon.

I tried to order from him on dream awhile ago, but he rejected my order saying no new customers cause he was afraid of being scammed.

he promised a reship worth 1.5k, tracking says delivered never got or maybe stolen. Promised reship when he gets shipment but said delayed due to presidents day. Last message was on monday. I ordered from him back then but he didnt reply for 3 weeks but he pulled through so maybe he'll be back hopefully
