sp5der - QUALITY US DOMESTIC

[abaddon616]

Guys I think the weather thing shows up regardless of the conditions in your area. I believe it's just a general message from the postal service or whatever kinda covering their asses. But as far as it going somewhere else that shit happens more often than you might think somebody will miss a scan and put it on the wrong truck I've had things be at the distribution center in my town then disappear and a week later it's across the country at another distribution center. I feel like this is just a misunderstanding and nobody's fault but the shit postal service we have.

This is so true. I resell sneakers and designer clothing (including the brand sp5der). I send and receive a ton of packages. The Memphis hub can be terrible about packs sitting and when they are busy they don’t scan them to speed things up. Northeast has also been hit or miss with delays. About half the packages that go out lately have had red weather alerts. Doesn’t matter if it’s Cali or NY. I’ve had packages from one state over circle around mine for a week. I’ve had packs from Cali that say they go to Hawaii first. Sp5der has been solid through and through. When I had a concern about a pack being a couple weeks behind, he responded in a more than reasonable time. I can’t speak for everyone but the guy has been solid so far with me. I do think posting about how near or far you live from any src is 100% not a good idea even if you are using tails, vpn, proxychains, macchanger, etc. just my take.

Still waiting for the 5 vials from 2/4 ship date.

Tracking as of today shows label created still.

No worries, it’s going out first thing tomorrow morning.



I have so many vials, some are crashed slightly more than others, while a few only have minor crystallization. I assume this is due to differences in shipping time and temperature, as some arrived ice cold and others did not. Is there a consensus on which one to send? Also I'm going to heat it back into solution before shipping, not that it matters but just as a cautionary. I spoke with Jano rep and requested they thoroughly heat and mix prior to testing, they confirmed they would.


@sp5der
Hey bro, I’m shipping it out tomorrow. Once it’s airborne, I’ll email you the tracking number so you can follow along as well.


Edit: photo attached. Pick 1 gents it'll go. Bottom right is in solution as it sits.

better or worse idea than having a face and tattoo in a profile pic?

jokes aside, why is it a bad idea? should i request an admin to take it down?

It's really just personal security/information security. Any piece of info alone may not necessarily be useful, but put a few together and the tune can change. There's no real upside and only downsides to volunteering relatively personal, even vague info if you want to maintain as much persec/infosec as possible.

tl;dr- Safety first!

Again going on a month from 2 orders that were suppose to be shipped together got the TNE order that was placed on 1/12 but the test kit order placed on 1/16 has never arrived, emails no response, when Dm'd he says I got you and sending out, Going on a month and nothing. I order some Tren kits back in dec, and they have good T/A. Had to ppl in need, so I had to order else where which they have already arrived. I not trying to be a bitch but he seems overwhelmed. and not on top of his shit.

FWIW, my situation is opposite of yours (rec'vd test kit, not TNE). He responded to my email yesterday within 5 mins of me hitting send.

But looking at the situation objectively, he definitely got overwhelmed with orders. I'm cutting him some slack because this is new territory for him. Seems like he'd benefit by implementing some systems and processes (but I'm just a business guy and don't know jack shit about Opsec best practices for a vendor).

Objectively speaking that’s something to be concerned about..

seems like he will be adding an order minimum which should alleviate some of the flow issues.

also im sure he has a burn/block list of people who were difficult or unreasonable which should also lighten the load. tho to be fair, the way these things usually go its the people with the tiniest orders who hem shit up the most with trifling concerns.

someone in this thread posted

"pick two: good quality, fast service, good prices"

and i think thats very poignant. imo id much rather wait a reasonable amt of time for good prices and good quality. aside from the growing pains and selection, i see no reason to shop anywhere else at the moment.

Hey brother, in response to all the griping from the peanut gallery…

You may want to consider setting a firm MOQ to cut this off at the source. Something like a $400 minimum would probably eliminate a lot of the noise.

I’d imagine a big part of the logistical burden comes from constant 1–3 vial orders, the packing time, labeling, drop offs, and communication burden of ridiculous emails. That adds up fast. Meanwhile, some of these guys are panicking if they don’t get tracking within a few hours.

Maybe if no MOQ, it’s worth making it clear that orders under $500 may have extended ship times to allow consolidation. That sets expectations properly and protects your time.

Just a thought. Business is business, and your time has value.

Or hell man, even a statement of no longer offering tracking, getting informed if you want to know. If it's not in your informed after 20 days then reach out.

And when you're swamped already shipping half an order and the other half later just ends up causing a logistical nightmare.

On top of this, perhaps a clean workflow wherein as soon as payment is received, he prints the label and records item(s) to be shipped out on a separate worksheet. Just little things to organize rather than resorting to email chains.

also dont be afraid to say no.

its really nice to let people add to their current order and whatnot, but if it doesn't happen then it creates an issue and you lose money on the shipping you'll have to eat for missing it.

of course its super nice to accommodate, but if your product and prices are good, and you're not a complete asshole, im sure people will understand.

or maybe guidelines for it. "all special offer/sale orders are final upon receipt of payment" or "order modifications only accepted within first 2 hours of payment" or some shit

anyone you lose bc you wouldnt hold a pack for a week to accomodate their vacation, or bc you wouldn't add a vial of tne to their reta kit order--you dont want them anyway
