possible scammer!
Totally bummed guys.. Since december I have been tryin to get ahold of some items and my first packages were seized in singapore. I was then referenced to supposedly a reliable domestic source. We exchanged many emails for 2 months. This man seemed very legit and trustworthy but I just thats how they are these days. I decided to send just over his and told him once i recieved those items I would place an even bigger order. Everything was fine, Thanked me for my business and told me he would ship on monday.. Its now friday.. no package. no email. nothing. I want to believe something may have came up but im leaning towards me getting scammed. I think im gonna give up internet sources. Im 0 - 2. I hate paying the in person prices but I guess its worth the security. It sucks we have people out there like this. Ill let you guys know if I hear back from him or recieve a package any time soon. PM me if u want to know anything else about this possible scam.

Ugh.
That sucks, man. Hopefully you'll get your order. Don't give up yet. Doesn't sound good, though.
In all the years I've been using, I've only been scammed once. Some domestic source I heard was really good. Sent the guy a few hundred bucks and never received anything. Scammed.
Hopefully it all works out for you.

Ya, online sources are very hard to come by. Good thing you tested him out before placing a huge order. But still being outill sucks ALOT!
Hopefully somthing just has come up and you'll get your package, keep us posted man.

I guess you just have to find a good source. I tried my first time recently ordering from an online source and right after I ordered I was like..****, did I just make a mistake? They said they would send tracking numbers within 2 days, and they split up the orders. The order with all the oils wouldnt show up on the tracking site so I was pretty sure I got ripped off.
Surprisingly I got the oils within a couple of days from another country. I couldnt believe how fast they came actually. Anyways, I would say that if its coming from another country, dont lose hope yet. Sometimes it can come fast, sometimes very sow.

Not to be a dick OP but come on dude?
Its the game that we are in. Everyone has been scammed and lots of us VETS have those 0-2 stories but we didn't stick our VaJayJays between our legs and quite.
Point is that there are great, reliable, legit sources out there but you just need to find one. You need to understand that the game is not like it was 5 even 10 years ago and you joined a website and you had 15 emails telling you a source.
Stick around the forums, make some friends, be helpful, research your ass off and most of all be a good bro and you are bound to find a good source. It will not happen over night

Hey man...
I THINK I know who you are talking about. (Sounds famiiliar)
If it is the guy i am thinking of, then dont worry he'll come through. He can take a bit sometimes but he's a good guy from my business with him. Also even after he recieves payments/ ships he doesnt email you.

I would say wait a little more....domestic can take longer than a week in some cases, the guy could be behind and have alot of other business right now also.

Hmm thanks for all the support guys. Ya I know 5 days isnt that long it just seems fishy becuase the guy was so prompt with his emails before the funds were sent. I told him right after i recieved my small order i would place an even bigger one, so if he were to scam me he would of been smarter to wait til the second time around. Hopefully he just got caught up doing some **** but will see..

It happens to everyone at one time or another. If its a loss, move on. Nothing you can do.
But seriously, its been 4 days, give it a full week before assuming because sometimes mail gets messed up.
good luck
