Hey guys ive been a fellow Silk Roader for the last month and made purchases. All went well until I've tried a new vendor, MADEINHOLLAND. When he restocked on his yellow triforces, i bought his 100 pack. After weeks and weeks, I started seeing his feedback saying that people in USA have not received their package. Not only that, MIH seemed to stop having any listings. I know he was good in the past but it seems like he pulled a tony on the people in usa. I got my 30% refund but i feel like he just ate 70% and sent nothing...
he also made me FE and it seems everyone else FE'd also
any thoughts?

Honestly I would just follow basic anti-scam practices in order to prevent these situations from happening.
1. Research a vendor before doing ANY business. Read feedback and also check out the vendor page. If you like everything you see then go ahead and fill the order. Keep in mind just because a vendor has high quality feedback does not mean they are honest.
2. Do not finalize early for any seller you do not have a long standing success rate with. Unless you have been in personal contact with the vendor and are confident that the shipment will arrive finalizing early shouldn't even cross your mind. If a vendor insists that you do so then it may be time to look for a new source.

Good advice.
Thanks for the advice. Would not be near as well armed against the pitfalls of SR without this forum and it's posters.

I didn't have to FE but I had ordered from him when he had his speakers 20+3 I received 11 in one package but never the 12 which would have made 23 speakers..so he asked me if I wanted a refund or reship of the 30% so i would not fuck up my return rating smh I should had know then grrr, so I just told him to reship the 30% which he ended up sending 5 triforces and they got here..Well I then was super stoked and thought oh well I might as well order his 10pk of triforces when he had those few listings up but 3week later and nothing and no love letter either. He did give me 30% back out of 80 dollars which is not much, 21 dollars but that's what his return policy says..shit 80 dollars is nothing all tho I would have rather had the product.. I much rather think he SS us as well then to think he sent them and good product has gone to waist. I am in no way a scammer and I dont try to get nothing for free just what i paid for..fooled me once shame on you, follow me twice shame on me and there wont be a third that is for sure..Also i been receiving to that same address from his area with no problem after this episode, so most deff something fishie..Stay safe on the road....

When I made my order I understood my risk. I take the good with the bad. MIH is some what new, but another vendor I deal with gets his stock from him. I believe in karma so whatever happens let it be. I have a better understanding logistically based upon what country I am acquiring my goods my possible success rate. Everyone who makes order should also take these things into consideration.

cheers for this I was going to use MIH for an order but now i've reconsidered

This is why i would never use any seller in the Netherlands for a large purchase. much better off going from a German guy. live and learn i guess. i bet you he did send them but the packages got compromised by our asshole USA customs.
