Title: Frank Mathews
Post by: samhunt on December 22, 2012, 12:15 pm
hey, first time i've ordered from frank and was just wondering if any of his long term customers could clear this up. has frank usually expected orders to be FE, or is that a recent request from him? Just that, though it be slow chrisi mail, our 4# brown has been 11 days in transit to UK, and i'm reading some sus feedback on such siches. i know we can be a paranoid lot, but just that got me wondering. FE always, or recent demand? Ta, Ms Hangin! :o

same here  but i got about 6 orders and haven;t receicved any of them now probably 13-14th day. made a mistake ordering during this time of year. high possibility that they will be lost in all that mail.

got my first order from frank this morning, was posted monday. my mate has had over ten orders with him and got every one.

c63amg is the main man if you want quick delivery, 3 days max to UK usually, although he doesn't do #4 H.

It's my personal policy not to do business with vendors who require FE.

It's the easiest way to get scammed. Vendors don't risk anything by using the escrow system (yeah, they don't get immediate payment and their BTC are tied up for a while, so what?) since they will always get paid eventually if they deliver what they promise. However, the buyer risks EVERYTHING by FE.

And it has happened time and time again - a vendor starts off not requiring FE, builds up a reputation, starts requiring FE, continues selling for a while without problems, and then, all of a sudden, they disappear with a lot of people's money.

So I've decided that the risk of getting scammed and having my money stolen far outweighs the benefit from buying the products these vendors offer.

If everyone reasoned the way I do, you can bet that most vendors would stop requiring FE. But people don't and so they encourage vendors to do so and give them an opportunity on a golden plate to steal their money.

Mail is statistically unlikely to genuinely get lost in the mail process.
Hopefully turn up in due course.

I bought two cheap (delivery cost) samples from him months ago.
First one was LSD without FE and delivery was fast.
Second one, 1-2 months later was MDMA with FE and it never arrived.
Just my little experience with him.

Hi,
 I have ordered from him a few times, he is a really really good vendor. I have had one of his packages not turned up. I was allowed a reship or 1/2 refund. It was only a small order so chose reship and the re-ship arrived!
I remember the first few times I FE´d because I was new. After that he didn´t require it but I still did to help him out. I knew if something happened he would still help weather I FE´d or not.. So wasn´t too bothered.
Don´t sweat it, in the unlikey event a package does not turn up he will sort it out. Really professional, and OMG his #4 is la creme de la creme. SO good.
