Title: MrCronk - anyone ordered from them?
Post by: rfv11rfv on February 25, 2013, 03:38 pm
Ordered 7g of strawberry kush over a week ago, advertises next day delivery but nothings come...
haven't FE'd and heard nothing off him and messages not read...bit worried I've been selectively scammed for being a newbie.

Anyone ordered and got it through?

Thanks  :)

I ordered last wednesday. was quickly marked in transit. didnt FE. aint heard anything from him.

Was a thread a couple days ago with another user, who did FE reporting similar.

--

As far as i can make out, he ran into similar issues at xmas, just was too busy, the orders did seem to eventually come though.

My guess is that the orders will come, he couldn't have built up such a high ranking without ripping ppl left right and center.

His recent feedback seem to suggest orders have been taking around a week to arrive.

Ordered 2 weeks ago and it took around 2 days for him to process it and then a further 2 days to arrive. I imagine that because of the high amount of orders he gets, it may take a while to get to you.

@rfv11rfv

That sounds positive anyways however cryptic and questionable his reason for the tardiness.

There was a bit of ice and snow last week in some areas too in fairness.

I have not ordered from MrCronk. I am just here to spam.

But that message that he sent sounds sketchier than a huge ball of sketch. I wouldn't release payment until you have the product

UPDATE - received this morning. Came in a bit underweight (6.2g on my scales) but a good smoke. His strawberry kush - see below pic.

I ordered my first and only order (so far :P) from MrCronk around 1 month ago now. 

It was put In Transit a few hours later & it arrived 2 days later.

Although I was a newbie and wanted to make sure I was doing everything right, I recieved no reply from them at any point which I put down to just being really busy.

All in all, genuine guy with great product/prices.

I received a PM from him 23 hours ago (hadn't logged in a while) and he said how it takes him 10 mins to reply to each PM which I can believe with tor so slow. Anyway he apologised for any delay. I think he gets a ton of orders so can take a few days for dispatch.

Yeah don't worry about it mate if you have sent him a message you'll most likely get it a couple of day's later,it took mine a week and it came 2 day's after I contacted him so i'm presuming he had some kind of fuck up last week or something,don't worry about getting it mate it'll get to you,aslong as he know's your still waiting,Cronk's a solid seller.

Peace

His delivery time has been shocking lately. But every order I've placed from my buyers account has been fine  :)

Seems to be one the best value and quality vendors for skunk on here, even though I would usually just buy hash off here and sort skunk irl some of MrCronks deals have looked tempting and i've heard good things about the product.

I've been talking to MrCronk since my order took too long to arrive. He has a canned message he sends out to everyone, and it does seem that he is just struggling with his workflow. If you buy from him, allow a week or so for it to come. Can't afford a week for delivery? Find another vendor. I will be buying from him again, but not when I'm in a hurry.

I agree. I got a zip of his haze. Maybe haze is just different where I'm from but it definately didn't seem to have that distinct haze smell... at all. It just seemed like some hydroponictly grown indica. Very "wet" and when smoked it seemed to resin up anything I used about 5 times faster than any other weed I've smoked. I can't speak for his other strains but the "haze" was average at best. That coupled with the long delivery time and the fact it's coming from another country to it has to go through customs all made me decide to look elsewhere.

My first order on SR was of 2g thai weed from MrCronk last Friday - FE as per request (being my first transaction and all - stupid mistake now!?) and have had nothing in the post at all (UK -> UK).

Messaged him asking whats the deal, nothing arrived, no message but no responses at all (as of yet)... on that listing it seems some people are saying 'super fast delivery' and getting orders... others complaining its taking ages, and others are just FE (who may never receive orders?)

I ordered something else from another vendor the same day and it arrived Monday no problems i'm glad to say.

Bit of a shame being my first purchase from him and order not shown up at all / no replys to my messages at all as of yet.... Guess its my own fault for FE, wont do that next time! Shoulda read the forums for advice before ordering :)

I'll update if something ever does show up.... time to try a different vendor instead.

I ordered from MrCronk a week ago. Not a sausage through the post so there doesn't seem to be anything particularly "24 hour" about the service.

Even more worryingly, a Cronk customer has had their package seized by police: http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=144530.msg992439

Thats not good! Glad other people are in a similar situation to me (well shouldn't be, but good not to be alone!)

But I guess stuff smells when its 1oz in size....or something fishy is going on with him /paranoia , /slow / selective scam.... i'd recommend no one to FE with him at the mo..

Mine came today as well... guess seller is just really behind at the moment! Maybe should change listings to update that its not next day postage, more like 7 days =)

Ordered some Strawberry Kush late last night. Since I'm UK based and he says he sends same day - then in theory I'll get the bud in time for 420 tomorrow.

EDIT: Wasn't going to come in time so cancelled it and I'll use the coin elsewhere. Might try him in future though.

My first order was from MrCronk, (7g Thai) it took 7 days to arrive. So don't worry it will come eventually, just takes a while. I don't think he dispatches right away but stealth wasn't too bad.
Title: Re: MrCronk - anyone ordered from them?
Post by: android465764E on May 22, 2013, 11:01 am
I had 7g of Thai and it came the next day. Average smoke, but priced accordingly.

How does his Thai weed compare to the standard weed you'd get from street dealers in the UK? That is to say, if you paid £20 for 1.6g as is standard nowadays would you feel massively ripped off or no more so than usual?
Title: Re: MrCronk - anyone ordered from them?
Post by: JewBrown on May 22, 2013, 11:21 am
My 1.1g outdoor haze came today, ordered it on sunday. good weight and stealth, but the quality is absolute shite. He has not sent me haze, I FE'd early, it's brown and the bits that probably used to be green are going grey, smells of earth. Haven't smoked it yet but will but can get better on the street...

If I'd bought 1.6g of his Thai instead of 7g,  then I'd like to hope that he would deliberately select some buds.
The Thai I got had a few buds, but also plenty of leaves, stems, etc.. 

To be fair though, it IS Thai. So leaves and stuff are to be expected I guess.

Thanks - so the buds are nice but you get a lot of leaves and shit too? I'm planning on buying something in bulk and I'll probably end up selling a bit to my friends, weighing up my options (no pun intended!). Not that I'd ever charge my friends £20 for 1.5g haha, just trying to get an idea of the quality.

Ordered 9 days ago and still nothing.  Took 3 days just to dispatch.  Plenty of feedback saying a week or more for domestic delivery, too.  Why des he put free next day delivery in the title of every item?

Also ordered from The Herbalist a few days ago and nothing yet.  Very annoyed but slightly paranoid.

Look at webeweedgirls. They're only doing 2 different strains at £30 and £35 for 3.8g at the moment, but I smoke some the other day and it is chronic! Next day delivery if you order before 2 and good stealth. 100% feedback although they are relatively new.
