Final EDIT!:
*Cosmic has delivered and made everything right. Turns out there was one of his "employees" that had been stealing packs from him. *
He did deliver so it ain't bad :D
Thanks Cosmic
Edit: A lot more is now developing on this story, read his Middle Earth Profile instead because there's just too much to type at this point.

So here we are, 12 weeks since my initial order. No pack, nothing.
Let's start from the beginning now.
To preface; I've bought dozens of times from over a dozen vendors at this point, from HoS to Platinum Standard.
BEGIN AGORA:
I order 5 x 250ug GammaBombz from Cosmic.
Great, I pay, full escrow, wait 20 days...
Around this time Agora starts shutting down, so I message him on MEM (Middle Earth). He says he will take care of me, no problem. He remembers my 5x 250ug order.
Let me state here that I never finalized my Agora order, well, because I never received a damn thing, even after 20 days, which in any normal persons mind is a perfectly ample amount of time to deal with an order and ship it out, domestically.
Start String of PM'S

*Dude. Even when they gave everyone 48 hrs to finalize the transactions you didn't. I remeber the and full of users who didn't finalize and comlete all transaction when Agora came back online.
I'm sorry dude. I didn't take payment for it so I didn't ship it. I may have marked it shipped to wipe the information and had the package ready, but as soon as I heard through the grapevine about Agora'a situation I made an announcment on my profile page to all users who have not finalized their orders.*
Two minutes later...

Never mind. I think I remeber this order. I think I ran out of the GG 250ug. I thought I cancelled it. I can send you something equal to 5x 250ug as a replacement. Unless you are deadhead about GG. If youy are I've been waiting about 22 days now for my order that I place with GG. 250ug GG are expect to show up anytime now.
So just to start off.
He acknowledges that my order is unfinalized, obviously, and that he is going to send out a replacement, equivalent which ar the JoR 250ug's, I respond that's TOTALLY fine, just send out something, i'm at the ~30 day mark at this point.

*JUst send me your address and a tip would be nice for shipping. I'll cover you with Dutch white @250 by JesusofRave/
What I need from you is an address to send to.*
And after this, I create a order to him by creating a TIP JAR order which is (~$5). I send him my PGP encrypted address. GREAT. Things are finally going to move.
cosmicconscious 17 September 2015 15:51
I thin k it shold be arriving soon man. THis is for 250ug JoR right? In replacemnt for an agora order that was left unfinalized. COrrect?

*Yo brotha. I'm pretty sure thisorder went out man. I send my mail first class so I cna rehsip it again. Only becuase I just had a landing of a half gram of Canadian Needlepoint so I can spare some tabs. I'll just send them to the address in this message.
Don't get frustrrated. Breath my due. In from you nose and out of your mouth. Now relax. Cosmic just had a huge landing, and he will be kind to you despite having remembered sendin it out. W/e . I'll personally see that I mail you something, Something that was equal or more in value tha the original order.
Im just confused as hell as to what happened to this order.*
(what the fuck his this guys typos and grammar? like really?)
Alright, here we are, fucking 60 days after initial order, he tells he's shipped out already, should be on the way.
Nope, he mass sends this message to everyone one of his customers he's currently fucking.
cosmicconscious 4 October 2015 16:43
*TO make my life easier in dealing with this situation please send me the following in one encrypted messsage. This will make it easier to pass to my team and get your order out the door.
1.) Item ordered and amount 2.) Order ID number and marketplace 3.) Date ordered 4.) Reship address with 4 digit zip ext
THank you for helping me make the order good and relove this in the most honest way I can.*
I send him all that info. Does not get back to me, until he posts on his wall as below.
ohmmatrix 10 October 2015 00:55
You forgot to tell everyone that the order was made on AGORA AND you didn't finalize the transaction even when it was PUBLICALLY announced to wrap up all transaction because AGORA was going offline. Now you expect me to send you free shit?
This pissed me off, he's actively PM'ing me over a course of 30 days and recognizes that this order should've went out.
Now he's, on HIS OWN wall telling me something that should've been brought up more than 40 days ago.
WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!
I tell him to refund my TIP (5$), and doesn't get back to me, ignores my messages and posts and refuses to communicate with me.
Extra:
He calls his customers dicks.
deadpiraterobert 9 October 2015 19:30
Can you please respond to my messages? I'm tired of this shit. I just want my package. Warning to future customers, DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS VENDOR. As far as I'm concerned, this vendor is exit scamming. No package after two weeks, and no responses to my messages. I repeat, DO NOT ORDER
cosmicconscious 9 October 2015 21:22
Shut up ypou fool. You have not messaged me until exactly 2 hours ago. There is no history on our thread. Nevermind that you ordered in late Sep. and after knowing I make landings in 4-5 days you never went through any of the reship proceedure nor did you inquire about your order. I'm refunding your ass now. Dick.
cosmicconscious 10 October 2015 05:27
I can do and say whatever I want on my own wall. If you don't like get lost.
DO NOT ORDER FROM COSMICCONCIOUSNESS - FORMERLY KNOWN AS STUDDYBUDDY1
cosmicconscious 11 October 2015 20:54
Firstly I am not the same person who was "Study_buddy1" I purchased this account from that individual over an IRC chat room. Second of all. Your order was made to india. Correct?
Note to Cosmic, you thought I was flaming you before, wrong.
This is how I flame.
Upvote for visibility please.
EDIT!!! He is currently shilling for himself
Comedy GOLD.
cosmicconscious 11 October 2015 22:04
hahahah. I realized that Reddit has nothing to do with sales. and the more posts you post, oddly enough gives me more business. I guess people want to see what I am look at the reviews and see 10/10 and place an order. Price is great. You seem to be attracting me more buyers than I had before. Keep up the posting.
If he's not an FE vendor then you're not in the wrong.
I wouldn't finalize either if it was an escrow order and I never received anything, then contacted the vendor and he admits he ran out of stock or otherwise never sent the first order in the first place.
Good on you for actually trying to work it out with the vendor instead of just smashing the resolve button at first. It's what buyers should do first and if they get nowhere then ask the market to resolve.
From what I read he confirmed your first pack wasn't sent but yet you're being attacked for not finalizing because agora was shutting down. I would rather my money disappear into the ether with the good folk at Agora than to finalize it for someone that admittingly never sent my order in the first place.
True you probably should have tried to get him to cancel it but seeing as he didn't offer that solution either its clear he wanted to keep the order.
But on the flip side Agora was up almost 2 weeks after they said they were closing down so in theory you/him could have placed an entire new domestic order, delivered it, tripped balls, then finalized 3 days later like a bastard and it still would have been fine as far as timeframes go.
No matter who's fault it really is, its small problems like this that show a vendors true colors and CC handles himself like a hot headed punk and doesn't seem to hold up well to stress.
Acts a bit too important for his own britches too.
My opinions about his character flaws aside, by his own omission if we can believe the pm's above did I count 2 or 3 times by the end of it that CC says he shipped product?
I'm assuming he doesn't use tracking since he never stated anything to the effect of "it shows it was delivered"?
If it were me I would simply split the cost and be done with you. Again no matter who is at fault.
I don't believe in being blackmailed by vendors or by buyers threatening bad feedback etc but there comes a point, especially if you are having issues across the board as Cosmic seems to be that you should just lose a few bucks for the sake of customer service and PR.
If he is not actually scamming anyone I can promise you that his personality fits well with vendors I've known that have pulled exit scams.
Best of luck to ya OP and all that.
