Hi, I ordered from PurplePandaLabs a long time ago and it went ok. I bought a few years supply, but now I need to restock. It looks like some sites say he is now known to sometimes send fake stuff so I am shopping around for another raw vendor to try.
I found DragonOrdance with some good looking reputation on here and long time vendor... but the site looks like an exact duplicate of PPLs... the comical animations, the pricing structure, the layout... heck even some of the FAQs are exact copy/paste with the same exact grammar mistakes and everything. They both have some female name-sound assistant, "Melody" and "Jade", even though it's probably some fat dude with a smirk who is replying to them. Same shipping methods, same type of presence of forums. Are these not the same people???
And honestly in general, what's with all these shady tactics these guys are always doing? PurplePandaLabs had that weird monkey jar stint that he's now trying to get rid of on his main site now where he pretended to be some other guy. Chances are isn't doing that just once. I get that these are illegal businesses and therefore technically criminals but can you at least not confuse me all the time?? Just trying to get some gear, my Chinese manufacturer friends.
On that note, are there any other power players for raws that anyone recommends who have been here for at least a year? Either Domestic US or International is ok. Thanks.
