anyone ever ordered from this .com site? I think the name of it changed recently from something else ( i forget what it used to be ) its rated #1 over at e**** and I was thinking about giving it a go. Any input is greatly appreciated


Edit: Sorry first post long long time lurking though.
 
I meant to say im trying to still get my 2 kits after 2 months along with other guys. seems they changed there shipping policy after the numerous amounts of seizer leters from the west coast.
 
could you elaborate a bit or pm me with your experience with it? they get raving reviews over at e**** tons of people rated them great and supposedly unlimited reship policy.. I tried with a very trusted src but he no likey my zipcode. I hope someone does a group buy soon, looks like I missed the recent one.
 
They got there raving reviews from the other owner i dont no when they changed owners but David use to be the owner and helped everybody out with problems reships everything this new guy he only reships half but its much deeper then that with these guys your best bet is to read firsthgh forum from about 1/2 months ago guys paying $1800 for kits getting screwed on reships and screw ups from this src seems its being done on purpose. Like with me after they asked me if i had a different address i sent them my p o box but they sent the reship to the first address before i even had time to get back to them customs has that too then they say no 3rd reship THEN WHY SEND THE KITS TO THE SAME ADDRESS IS YOU DONT DO A 3rd reship:confused:. im keeping my money on this side of the water now
 
I have heard that a few times now, but why? it seems like if a src was shitty on there they would get bad reviews from people and be done.
excuse my ignorance on how it works.

Eroids themselves will never admit it but it's well known that sources pay for their rankings and any negative reviews get deleted by mods. Negative comments about "sponsors" are deleted on all the censored boards.

I will share with you that I was a member over at eroids for some 6 months, and used 2 of their sources. Also had a buddy use one of them. Mind you, they were both in the top 10 at the time of order. Neither of us had an issue, both received legit gear. Being a regular, junior member over there you have no real sense whether what people are saying on other boards (paying for ranking, mods deleting negative reviews) is true or not. Mods do routinely delete reviews that they don't deem as "qualified" reviews, but they'll leave the OP name and just hijack his post to say something like - "Not a qualified review, read rules" or some shit. You do see negative posts on just about everyone's pages... so if they hand-pick which ones to delete or not, I don't know. Like I said, because you do see some negative reviews, you have no real sense of knowing if they delete much more and leave some, or not.

I would also go out on a limb and say that nobody else would really know unless they were themselves a mod (or source), or were intimate with one of them.

Myself, I stopped using them for multiple reasons, which I am happy to share if anyone cares. Or you can pm me to ask, nothing crazy though, mostly personal opinion based.

I would like to know, and others probably as well.
 
That is to say, I am new posting here, so I don't want people to think I just came here to bash another site.

*Please keep in mind this has been my experience while on eroids, and the following are my opinions and observations alone*
Here goes my reasoning:

Availability of product from top sources - the very top guys usually only have small windows when their products are available, it seems their method is to make a bunch of product, open their doors and then let it all go until their sold out and shut their doors for a bit to "catch up" on orders. So it's hard to get what you want, when you want it.

General lack of customer service from top sources - Most don't communicate very well in general, but then you have some who are downright rude with customers. This makes no sense to me, as they are not the only game in town. You literally have some sources who curse their customers out for asking them questions or wondering where their order is if it's outside the window.:confused:

T/A times - all my orders fell outside the advertised T/A time. Now, I used to not give a shit because back in the day all sources were international, so you just knew to wait and eventually you would get it (or hope). However, now you got everyone advertising what their T/A time is, and some vary widely (2-14 days?!). Bottom-line, if you can't stick to what's advertised, maybe reconsider advertising one at all or revise it.

The fact they rank sources at all! - I'm not a big fan of an open ranking system for sources, where the top 10 are listed front and center homepage. it gives way to much fuckery afoot. I can see why people claim or believe they have to pay for their rankings, while that I am not sure of, I can believe that a lot of other stuff happens behind the scenes to bump rankings and build credo fraudulently. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the case really.

Karma system - They have a method of giving and taking karma points over there, some of their members exist purely as a black hole, being assholes and sapping others karma because they feel like it. I'd rather be positive, and try to stay that way as much as possible. I know this is the internet, trolls exist in all nooks and crannies... but the karma system makes it easier for them.

So that's pretty much it, like I said, nothing crazy just a culmination of things that made me want to split. I know there is better out there.
 
thanks for the response, my philosophy is the same as yours regarding eroids, I have a username over there and have used a few of their top sources without any issues. But its so hard to figure out whats real and whats not on many boards, reps, vets, sponsors, all out to get you on most boards it seems like.

Well, as is the nature of "the game". A lot of this is just trial and error, a lot of the new guys would like to think there's a sure-fire way or some mathematical formula that will allow them to arrive at the perfect conclusion. I will admit that over the years, as far as accessibility goes, it's gotten easier. However, with choice and opportunity often come the evils associated; like how do you know which choice is the right one now? It goes back to trial and error, that and trying to associate yourself with good people, and paying attention.
