Scafewest / Sosacafe review

With the AG forums being down. I thought this would be the best place to document my experience with this vendor. There iare some negative reviews surrounding this guy here and he is not very good on the communication side of being a DN vendor but he will get better at it and he will not need to communicate. I too have been a vendor on the DN and the most difficult part is answering all of the PM's while working to be efficient in getting orders out.

First lets talk product because that is the easiest to address. His gear is some of the highest quality I have had in my 3 to 4 years on the DN and is some of the best gear I have had ever. when you do "apples to apples" comparison to the likes of Caliclaire, sweet_n_stoned, j_rock, fast_lane, and the other "Sosa", there is no comparison. SCW's quality blows these folks out of the water. There is no residue, the color is perfect, and my cotton when it dries is still soft..not rock hard with the shit it has kept from drawing up. The quality is an A+++.

I have placed 5 orders with SCW. 4 with express delivery and 1 with priority. Of the 4 express orders 1 arrived the next day after order placement. The other 3 were 2 days after order. When you are talking about "H" and express delivery you want your shit the next day. Since SCW is not setting the expectations of express delivery directly I will give my feedback. He states on his page that orders are sent 24 to 48 hours after processed. You might as well realize it will be 48 hours. He actually got all 4 of my express orders the next day but he has some sort of OPSEC approach that has working the USPS process and it doesn't get it out until the following day. If you have ordered from him express and checked the label you know what I am saying. This is especially true if you are in a different time zone. So express delivery plan for two days.

On my 5th order I was $1.60 short and I PM'd him several times about depositing the difference into his direct account. He never responded. After 4 days and not receiving, I PM'd him. This is what his page directs. I got no response. I PM'd him again on the 5th day and after no response I clanged my rating to a zero. He responded on the 6th day, refunded my money and asked again for my address to send me a free gram. I was disappointed that he did not give me the option of a resend but I believe it had to do with how he handles his business and processes orders. He plain and simple missed my order but at this point his popularity had grown and he is doing much more now than 3 weeks ago. I thought the offer of the "free gram" was more than generous but I still wanted my 3 g FE order. When I got my btc's back the price had fell on the btc's so I didn't have enough for what I wanted so I couldn't re-place my order. When he refunded my money he saw my rating and was a little upset because I had a zero. I quickly change fed it back and he said again he was getting me out a free g. The guy is top notch and wants to get it right.

SCW is a 1 man gig I am assuming . Mistakes are going to happen. You are not gonna get many responses to PM's but when it matters you will. I don't think SWC wants to deal with customers that are going to be high maintenance and require a lot of hand holding.

When he was Sosacafe his account was investigated for a scammer...this dude ain't a scammer. He could of kept my money on my FE order but he didn't. My mistake was putting a 0 because his guy is doing his best to be efficient. When Sosacafe was under investigation it was over 2 orders that had not been received from 2 customers that had less than 5 transactions...everyone got their orders and I thought it was away too pre mature for the AG staff to freeze his account. Especially when you have a vendor like bestman sending out dope that turns red when water is added and AG does nothing. Anyway, I am waiting on my gram and working to get in my 6th order in 3 weeks.

My advice would be to Give the guy a break if something happens with your order. We are all human and we all make mistakes. When or if it is to happen to you just be patient. SCW will make it right. My mistake was giving him a 0.

I sent AG a message for them freezing his account when he was Sosacafe about how their rules are not consistent for all vendors This has made SCW gun shy of the market administrator which would draw attention with a 0. I should have recognized this with my order.

Anyway, I really want SCW to prevail, his price point is the most competitive out there for the quality and if you can get past not having to PM him ever 5 minutes you will be well taken care of. Once SCW is able to respond he will but I found out if you follow his directions and know express will be 2 day and priority 4 you should be ok. The guys gear speaks for itself and again he wants to do this thing right. We want this guy around. He is already impacting the other folks that have become well known and we are seeing them adjust their price point but I ain't going anywhere. This quality is the best I have had and if you try him you will feel the same.

I've been vouching for sosacafe since he started vending. I realize that he hit a rough spot a little while back, but since coming back with his scafewest account, he's been damn near flawless. For the price (of for any price really) he's got the best dope on the markets. His stuff is fire. That 3g for $375 is a fantastic deal. And, aside from one time, it's made it to me in 2 days without a single need for any comms.

Nice review, lets hope that he continues to improve his operation and sticks around for the long haul.
