I ordered from a relatively new vendor about 2 weeks ago. He had pretty silly low prices for relatively expensive product as an introductory thing. I placed the order because I figured at worst I'd be out 40 bucks. I honestly regretted making the order after I did it because it just seemed too good to be true/scammy.
Well, it turns out it wasn't a scam. The vendor had poor communication, but 3 days after marked shipped, I received my product and to my surprise it was some of the best I've ever had. I did a few reviews for him on the DNM Onion forums (Avengers etc) and praised him highly, for which he was very grateful...
Now, a day or so later, HE sent ME a message asking me if it would be okay if he sent me a package with a free gram or so of a new product in exchange for a review. Keep in mind, I never asked him for shit, he came to me with this proposition. I obviously jumped on it and gave him my address again etc. He told me Tuesday of last week it had been shipped out. I made sure to stress to him that it was cool if he couldn't send it for whatever reason, I didn't just want a handout, but he basically insisted.
So fast forward to over a week later, I'd messaged him several times thru the week and he was ignoring my messages. Again, I gave him an out by saying I understood if he couldn't do it. Still, no reply whatsoever...so finally after a week I reached my breaking point. I hadn't placed any orders of said product because I figured I did not need to since this pack was in the mail and the last pack from him only took 3 days...
It never arrived, as I stated earlier, so I decided after seeing him just straight up ignoring messages, I needed to do something in order to let him know that treating a person like that is unacceptable, so I edited my feedback on my previous order to a rather negative one, knocking points off because of the fact he was the one who insisted, and left me high and dry. The drugs in question are the type that cause severe withdrawals, so when you are counting on something like that and you go to the mailbox day after day only to be disappointed. Not to mention I'd given him my name and address yet again, so who knows what he did with that.
After he saw my negative review, suddenly he was VERY talkative and told me he was sorry and that he just forgot to send it (even though at one point he said he'd "sent it out yesterday" earlier). So he agreed he would send me a sample package with a generous amount of product in exchange for me changing my review back.
So basically, I just want to know if I'm in the wrong here. I can honestly see both sides of the coin, and a part of me feels like a piece of shit, but the other part of me sees it as blatant disrespect by a vendor who needed a reality check that you cannot just lie to people and leave them with their dick in their hand, waiting for a package that wasn't ever going to come, all while being ignored.
Sorry if this is all over the place, I'm a bit buzzed right now. Any opinions? Good or bad, I want to hear it. Thanks.
I think you did wrong when you changed your feedback. Your agreement wasn't related to the order and blackmailing him was kind of a dick move.
