Title: The Farmacy
Post by: kingkong24251 on November 12, 2012, 07:06 pm
I'm wondering if anyone else who has recently bought from him are having issues with shipping slowness. I had my 400$+ order shipped last tues, and it still hasn't arrived. I'm kinda getting a little nervous considering I can't see how it wouldn't be here by now considering I'm from the US just the vendor I ordered from....ugh..I FE'd too so that makes it even worse, and his communication doesn't seem like it's the best considering he's been swamped


any help?

Well he had over 300 transactions, and the majority of the reviews were fine, I don't see any reason with why FE would be a issue.

Just SR has been down, and getting in contact with him has been the worst of my troubles. Doesn't seem like he checks the forums that much either.

As above, never finalise early. I have bought off the same guys time and time again and never once have I FE'ed.

Even if I trust the person, who's to say they wont get busted in real life on the way to making the post?

very very very good point man. I will definitely take all this into consideration beforehand. I really didn't like the idea of FE in the first place, and he's kinda pushy too when it comes to FE he messages you to FE after shipping. but lets just hope once SR gets all working again I can figure out where my package is and what not.........

I'm also waiting on an order from him from quite some time ago. The problem is at the time he was the only vendor carrying the goods I wanted so if you wanted them you had to take the FE risk. Only vendor I've dealt with I've had to for and I'm not liking it.

I don't remember exactly how long, but I think it arrived 3 or 4 days before auto finalize. And yes, I am in the US.

Best thing you can do is try to relax.  Easier said than done, I know.  I'd wager that everything is fine, but time will tell.

As it's been said, in the future, don't FE and save yourself the stress!

I'd give it to SR being down, the holiday or... well, I ordered.
The shipping time was fine. I think it was 1st class mail.
Packaging was shit. There was a hole in the envelope with only a silica pack between the postman's eyes and the product.
Vacuum sealed bud in clear and was dried the heck out by the silica pack. Flavor was nice.

With an order that is FE? Probably zero refund. He can say anything knowing SR can't do anything about it.

Also, no one ships FEDEX. All USPS.

When SR comes back up, likely it won't mean anything with regards to your order. Your vendor likely won't communicate with you for some time. What's on his profile page won't given you much hope either. He could live in the area affected by Sandy.  Lots of people in that area have been out of power for 7+ days. Most are back now though.

Consider your order a loss. That doesn't mean you won't get it. But if you do, you'll be pleasantly surprised. :)

Simple rules to live by on here:

1. Never finalize early. If there's only one vendor who has what you want but requires FE for it, then there is no vendor who has what you want.

2. Never finalize early. There's a number of variables which are out of your control. FE adds yet another variable that is outside your control.

3.Never finalize early. The only people who lose money are those who FE. Those who never FE, only lose time.
