Title: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: mysterymann on April 30, 2012, 10:19 am
Ordered 22/4 during the tailend of the 420 sale and still haven't received the package.

I'm in nearby EU.

Communication with vendor has been sketchy at best.

Regards,

Exactly same situation here. On his vendor page N has announced (04/25) that he is still processing the 0420 orders. Let's hope the processing is done by now.

im also in the same position as yourself, i also paid for priority shipping so it should have taken 3 working days from posting, i now suspect that he may be a selective scammer.

I'm in UE too and still waiting for my small order placed during the sale, last time he made it to me in 2 days now it's 6 working days and still nothing but I am confident it's only because he was busy for the Sale like many other vendors.
Fuck I will NEVER order again on or near Special Sales, 3 orders on three of the most respected vendors, nothing came for now.

im hoping it is only due to the sale but it looks as if this has been going on for weeks, he's been mentioned in SR Scammers thread so  I ain't holding out too much hope,

its all yanks calling scam but shit loads of usa shit from top vendors aint getting there and  if i were them i wouldnt be getting re ships to the same address but they are and then when 2nd dont arrive there suprised ,

if they were scamming would they double the price of there shit to slow sales no would they fuck they would have kept them at sale price ,i asked why they doubled price and it was to slow shit down coz of the mental amount of orders .there not shipping new orders from 23/4 till tommorow so thats how far behind they are

any time u get in a sale especialy when like nor it was like 25% off shit goes crazy ,i didnt even bother ordering and wasted my money in uk coz i have to get my post 1st and i wasnt prepared to stalk the posty for weeks on end. ill wait till shits sorted, price comes back down and i no it will be 3 days

u shouldnt be suprised if its not here the earliest it would be posted was 7 days ago,but might not be sent till today if they had 100s there not going to compromise security u got 25% and should realise how many more orders than normal they will have and of course it wont be on time .they only work mon ,wed fri normally maybe different coz so many to do but if they think it will compromise security going everyday i doubt and wouldnt expect them too do it

Hi,

This is why I created a separate thread for European buyers. Presumably Americans will not comment here

Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: gerryboy on April 30, 2012, 12:21 pm
that comment isn't crazy, if you look on the SR Scammers thread you will see that I ain't the only person thinking this and his feedback page also shows that this could very well be the case (and this seems to have been going on before the sale, so you can't put it all down to a backlog of orders). I may have been burnt and I can accept that but I would just like to make others aware that this may be the case and be very careful when ordering from him. I received packages on a weekly basis from NL which were much bigger and stinkier than the order I placed with Noriega and never had a problem receiving these. I really hope that he isn't a  scammer as there seems to be lots of scamming going on at the moment. If my product arrives I will come back on here and eat humble pie and I hope that is the case, I have the spoon and custard waiting for that moment.

yes there all in the us thats why i mentioned usa and its not just nor its loads of vendors c63 aswell and he gives full reship/refund so its obvious something not right sending to usa thats why they stopped ,why would he basiclly price himself out of new sales apart from to  complete idiots or rich people if he wanted to scam
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: gerryboy on April 30, 2012, 12:47 pm
his latest batch was tested as 98% so some people wouldn't be put off by the price as it's similar to TV's washed coke price. People will pay the price if they believe they are getting a superior product.

HI all

Like you guys ordered at tail end of 420 sale...been waiting for1 week now...have ordered before & received in 2 days, so was surprised still nothing received.

 Pis*ed as wanted the product for a friends party...having read some of the threads hope I am not another one of the selective scams.......anyone recently received order from him?
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: lefthandspinner on April 30, 2012, 12:56 pm
no i dont mean that his prices have doubled ,and i asked why he said to slow sales

examples =1g no3 =$99 before 4/20 now u get .5 for $95   
white gear before 4/20 =1g $130 now .5 $130

jesus i thought people might of noticed no wonder mugs are still buying fucking 5gs at a time

i know u get worried when shit dont arrive i did other week when c63 had probs and said hed sent when he hadnt and i was thinking what u are now but when its sale time u need to not order or expect it to get here when it gets here,
theres no sign of him ripping people ,a guy other day who is in NL and ordered from canada and nor on same day got nors 1 day before canadian 1
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: gerryboy on April 30, 2012, 01:04 pm
I received my 420 order from canada on friday yet i still haven't received my order from Noriega, I know waiting on an order can be stressful at times but something just doesn't seem right with this order, I have had previous orders with him/her and the communication was great and delivery time exceptional (i wasn't asked to finalize early neither). I can only hope that it is due to having an increased amount of orders to try and get through and that I eventually receive it at some point.
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: tan on April 30, 2012, 01:56 pm
I don't think that i've been scammed, all my orders from Noriega have arrived so far and i'm confident that this one will too eventually.

It is just a pity that there is no way of knowing when an order is going to be processed by him. An order being set to "in transit" state is no reliable indication; my orders haven't been shipped when they were showing "in transit".

The previous orders have taken 6,7 and 10+ days. The post takes 2 days for me (NL-Europe), the rest is processing time. So the processing has been slow prior to the 0420 sales and i don't expect it to be faster now.
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: fasttrip on April 30, 2012, 02:49 pm
Hi folks,
I also ordered from him during 420 sale and I make a bigger order!!!
Im located in EU like you, and didnt receive nothing yet!!
My order need to be FE, like Noriega told me, so I FE!!! But if for some reason I loose my money
this will destroy me!!!!  >:(
I hope the he didnt become a scamm!! But if you look how many feedback he receive from 420 till today,
and counting that almost all orders need's to be FE,....... ther is not near 400+ orders, like I hear that he need
to process......

Dont get me wrong, I still have hope, and the moment that I start to receive the orders from him I will post it and
take all my negatives post back!

But its strange that c63amg, MIN,.... they all send all they orders from 420, and ppl receive it!! Only Noriega orders didnt came yet in EU.

''The moment I will get my orders I will glad to clean his name, and give a big apology to Noriega team.''
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?

Noriega hasn't logged in for 2 days I'm not sure if it's a cause for concern or not.

Also ordered on 420, in the EU and mail is usually received in 2 days.

It really sucks not knowing the real date an order was shipped. Was it lost, was it not sent yet,... Did customs catch it and flag the address I use, etc.
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: gerryboy on April 30, 2012, 06:30 pm
I hope everyone who has posted any concerns on this thread like myself will need to come back on here and say that they finally received their order from Noriega, it just seems odd that there are so many folks saying they haven't received and nobody claiming to have.

Post by: flangepot on April 30, 2012, 10:57 pm
according to his page, all orders placed last week, will be sent out Tuesday, im guessing tomorrow.... maybe he needs to restock and tuesday is the day he will have picked up ? might explain him not logging in to SR ... will wait to see tomorrow if any news ... all seems a bit ominous ...

The way I read that message was that he was using last week to catch up with the 420 orders, and any *new* orders (eg after 420) would wait until today to be shipped.

However 0 communication and not logging into his account for a few days is pretty strange... Especially when so many people haven't received, both in Europe and abroad.
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?

Heres hoping he logs on today and gives us some sort of update. id rather know that i have been scammed than waiting around in the hope that he hasnt for a week or two
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: boston.george on May 01, 2012, 10:00 am
I begin to get a little worried because I read about A LOT of people who waited the 420 to make bulk orders, like 10 or more g...that's a first fault because prior to the sale Noriega asked to FE up to 2,5 and a week ago he begun to ask FE for ALL orders...
I don't want to give lessons to anyone but if I had to do a bulk order I would prefer to make it out of the Special Sale dealing via PM with the vendor about the price...however it's far better to pay 10% more and get the shit then not.
Nobody can seriously plan to be a online drug vendor for life, not even for year....which better chance to disappear than a Special Sale with 30-40k at least made in three days..??
If we start to see thing maliciously it could be clear...when moz30 started to lab test coke of the best vendors Noriega had a significant drop in the number of order/week, then he sent moz30 an amazing batch just to build up his reputation again in time for the big sale...then he began to ask everybody to FE and...
Well at the moment we only know that some domestic shipment from the 4/20 sale has arrived, and he raised prices just not to get more orders...these are the two point that give hope.
I think realistically that his ( like for every vendor )! first concern was how to cash out BTCs, THEN to provide more supply, LAST to fill orders.
These are only speculations but maybe he has started in good faith ( as the first 2 point could demonstrate ) but then he encounted some unexpected problems in cashing out BTCs and getting shit, and from my point of view it's quite understandable that he might have said fuck off, I' ve got 40k or more, I'm tired of complaining, it's time to quit.
The moral that I got is: never buy again from Special Sale, and never trust in vendors when they suddenly restrict their conditions and ask everybody to finalize early ( Well mine was a 0.5 order so I would have FE however ).

Post by: mysterymann on May 01, 2012, 10:23 am
It is what it is.

In the end it's just a couple hundred dollars. If this ruins someone financially then they probably shouldn't be spending their money on SR anyway.

My purchase from Noriega triggered an automatic win during the SR giveaway, so it softened my potential loss quite a bit.

I hope 2 gerry. And the moment I see my orders, I will apologise for my negative.....
But time is running.....and all I see on the forum are only 3 members that have receive the orders, 2 from NL and one from US. But how someone from US can receive the order before EU buyers?? Its a little strange...or its only me??...

when did you finalize your order?
Reading feedback it seems that there are more than only 3 ppl who has received their 4/20 package, in particular the ones who finalized lately, on wednesday.
Maybe he started shipping from the last orders...I hope

What's happening...??

I too Have a 10gr order from Noriega made during the 420 sale that has not arrived, he also is not replying to my pm,s, I pray to god that it is just a problem that will be fixed but Noriega needs to let people know what the score is even if its just a post on the forums to say he,s working through orders as fast as he can and there is a delay but no communication is no good...

I STILL HAVE FAITH IN NORIEGA..... pLEASE COME THROUGH FOR ME!!!!

I think that SR should give us some explanation, because if it was Noriega himself who took down his listings we should see that he has logged in, if not, we owe some explanation from the staff
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: manny on May 01, 2012, 07:40 pm
boston george - I agree I checked this morning in hope he had answered my PM and all listings were showing. I checked again tonight and my PM still hasn't been read and he's not logged in for 3 days but all listings disappeared!

Made a reasonable size order 20 April, FE on 23 April and not heard a thing since, despite my polite PM asking him to confirm when dispatched. Doesn't make sense that some people have received in US and I lots of people are still waiting for UE orders. Received my 420 sale order from C63 by 24 April so I would be surprised if it's postal delays from NL.

Really not sure what to think but I'll need to make another order with a different vendor as I can't see Noriega's arriving any time soon! What's most concerning is that his feedback is dropping fast and he hasn't changed his profile or been on here to explain so definitely starting to panic now.

Post by: Kappacino on May 01, 2012, 07:47 pm
Are you guys fucking serious?

HE HAS IT ON HIS VENDOR PAGE THAT HE ONLY SHIPPED THE 4/20 ORDERS TODAY

Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: manny on May 01, 2012, 08:01 pm
@Kappacino

His vendor page states he would be shipping 420 orders last week and any new orders placed after the sale would be shipped today. What is most concerning is the lack of communication and that his listings have been removed although he hasn't logged in for 3 days. No idea how that can happen unless SR admin have removed them.

He's getting slated on the forum and if he is genuinely shipping all orders I'm sure he would be here to defend himself.

I FE on 23 April and have not received my order or a response to my PMs. Really hope he is just too busy to ship them out quickly but I have to say I'm starting to worry.

Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: fasttrip on May 01, 2012, 08:26 pm
I ordered on 420 sale, then on monday 23/04 he ( Noriega ) told me to FE if not, he will not ship it. So I FE on 23/04, and till now I didn't receive my 3 orders that I made from him. I send him a polite PM, but he didnt read it at all.
And about his listing that are not showing, if a seller don't log in 3 day's, the listing is automatic deleted by SR.
Title: Re: Noriega - anyone else in Europe still waiting?
Post by: Kappacino on May 01, 2012, 08:34 pm
Let's just fucking hope that he hasn't taken advantage of the 4/20 sale and done a fucking runner.

I'm starting to get suspicious though. No big vendor is not going to log in for 3 days. That's just fucked up, even if he's really busy.
