Hello
We (Swazibudbud888) have been going for almost a year now and
we are grateful to the honest buyers who have shopped with
us, thank you for your custom!
We have honored our word and we have brought prices down and
we have kept the prices down.
We want buyers to return and shop again, so we make sure that
every order is mailed safely, with care. Our ratings show that we
are trusted.
It is unfortunate that we are alone against the 'cheats' and
'thieves' and 'cannabis-gods'(know-it-alls).
A few people take advantage of the 'fair-play' and it costs
us 3 - 4 ounces per week, meaning we get to break even
when 12 oz have been sold. This cannot continue.
After a month of running "resolution" in the suggested, fair, manner, we have noted
a huge increase in "bullshit". Since there are more dishonest buyers than we can
handle, we will revert to our 'method' of business.
There will be no 'resolution'.
No escrow.
All orders finalized early.
No orders for new customers with no ratings.
Buyer ratings = 4 or more.
We know that most of you are honest but we are alone against many, we must take extra precaution to
protect ourselves. We are sorry that a few "bad-apples" affect the majority of good people.
We will play fair, just as we always have.
Will someone ensure that our 'changes' are reflected in the "vendor threads".
Thank you and best regards

That's a shame, I really wanted to order off you.
You won't allow new users to buy even if they finalise early?
Also you plan on ever offering that buy an ounce and get 5g free kief again?
-
Hey mate,
Shame about your decision and the fact that it will have the effect of treating established buyers like newly registered scammers.
I really wanted to try the kief, but will not order FE from anyone, especially international.
Your decision will probably cost you in lost business.
It's sad to hear another seller going FE only, and hopefully SR will do something about it (the whole FE situation) soon.
Regards :)

Sorry to hear that people were taking advantage of you.
Luckily, I have my first order with you in transit which is still in escrow because I ordered before you changed your terms, and if this order arrives with no problems (and I'm sure it will), I'll have no problem doing FE on future purchases.

As an established buyer, you have lost any and all potential biz from me. All I ask from vendors is escrow.
Your inability to filter out dishonest buyers and generalizing treatment of all buyers as potential scammers will only hurt you in the end.
I'm personally a bit sad, I was planning to get a good bit from you soon, but I don't play the no-escrow game.
Also, it makes YOU look like a potential scammer to most buyers, and you must realize this, yes? Quite a few longtime vendors went FE only before scamming MANY people.

say no to FE, theres plenty of other commercial bullshit weed from other vendors that don't require FE

I dunno , i have brought off this guy before thru another acc and he sent the stuff thru. Being realistic if they are getting scammed by people what else do you expect them to do. In my limited experience it was OK from Swazibudbud888 , gear came thru.. didn't weigh it as didn't have scales but felt like an oz :-). Just my 2 pence.
from that experience ... it hasn't been negative so far
From my perspective, they have worked hard to gain their reputation and it would be silly for them (from a rep and financial point of view) to scam users. Plus to be honest it is one of the cheapest gear on here per oz ..
Maybe they should introduce a tracked package system , this would protect both user and seller. I used to buy this way off a dealer in London. This was he knew it was signed for and we both knew it was delivered. ~End of day anyone could send you a package in post and deny knowing what was in it .....
