Are all these busts actually happening? I have only seen one article. As far as I am concerned a rival vendor from another country is trying to muscle into more of a market share. Either domestic US (makes more sense for them to be on reddit) or a bulk vendor from the EU.
There has been no issues ordering from the netherlands at this rate EVER before.
Don't order if you are sketched out, but be aware someone is probably manipulating opinions here.
No I am not high.
I doubt it is FUD. I am from the Netherlands and there has been a hard crackdown lately on drug criminals. Most of that doesn't have to do with the darknet, but this whole country is becoming less and less lenient when it comes to drug offenses. Stores offering grow equipment get raided, coffee shops that have been operating for decades get closed without a warning, foreigners are banned from accessing coffee shops in some regions...and a whole bunch of other shit relating that wasn't happening here 3 years ago.
On top of that it has been known for a very long time that the Dutch police force cooperates with the DEA and FBI and hands them over information (and vice versa). If anything, I am surprised the crackdown hasn't happened earlier. Even if we assume it is FUD; getting multiple packages with drugs from the Netherlands shipped outside the EU is a pretty bad idea. It is one of the worlds most known drug countries.
