SymBiotics (U.S. domestic)

@SymBiotics - obviously you will weigh your options and do what you feel is best for your and your family.

I will parrot the other responses in saying that going private does seem like a viable option for sure. And seems to surely limit the amount of bullshit you are / could be exposed to.

I know many sources that like you to include your forum name when ordering. I believe that might be a good idea as well, so if something so ridiculous like this would occur the person can be outed, and we the community can release the hounds of hell upon him. Also, other sources could be made aware to not allow such person the benefit from ordering from them either, thus completely just blackballing the member.

I personally mention to sources my "handle" in case they want to perform some sorta background check on me first by seeing some of my posts, or what ever.

At any rate.... hope you and your loved ones have a safe and happy 4TH of July.

Not that my 2 cents matters but I agree with everything @BIG74 said. Keeping yourself and family safe is an absolute priority. I think maybe the forum name when ordering might be a great option to try before going private though. Either way, stay safe and enjoy your holiday @SymBiotics

I’m a big believer that your handle here should be separate from all the address info that the source needs. It goes back a while but guys here have had death threats against family members and at least one “hot box” has gone out as revenge. Literally wrote “contains illegal steroids” on the outside of the box.

We should be able to maintain our anonymity on the forum. If you have a problem and need to post about it, you don’t want the source having your personal info.

There’s other ways he can go private without needing your board name.

That all makes sense.

DAMN, a "hot box" sent. That's some crazy shit!

And yes anonymity is obviously a main priority. Especially when like ya said issues arise. Hmmm, may need to rethink some of my future choices.

I always figure sources just save emails and such anyway, but say they don't.

Pretty fucked up news on a day to celebrate freedom and independence. Stay safe everyone. And learn your damn address. My 4 year old knows ours.

Happy Independence Day to you all.
I appreciate the ideas and opinions about going "private" and other options.
I haven't and will not be making any decisions before I have thought it through to the best of my ability. When/if I do decide to change something; it will be public knowledge and announced here.

I would never be inclined to "out" any person; no matter how much trouble these things cause. That could only cause more potential issues.
While this is a huge mess for me; I do not think the person intended to do something to cost himself money or cause me problems.
Still, it is an unacceptable mistake because these tiny things are what huge cases are often made of.

I personally spend hours when I create labels: matching every letter to what is sent in the order.
I do so because this business is akin to handling explosives in my opinion----one mistake and game-over. I would think all involved would have the same mindset.

Enjoy your holiday and don't forget to be thankful for the independence we are able to enjoy.

Happy 4th bro. Hope your recovery is going well. That’s more important imo.

Welp, looks like it’s time to go Private @SymBiotics. Cuts down on the bullshit like this. There’s a lot of assholes out there.

This guy probably thought he was being slick using an address that he thought he could get to before the actual owner did. But grandma got her mail first that day.

Or that fucking hacker/extortionist is back again.

Was going to say this as well.

 

[Tmisatix]

That's a pretty severe noob mistake

 

[cochino]

That's a pretty severe noob mistake

Severe yes, but noob no, more like stupid. Newb would ask if he accepts PayPal, not fuck up an adress.

Agreed 100% .

What is a return to sender? Someone put the wrong address and someone else got it and sent it back?

Someone put an invalid address so the package gets returned to sender I believe

 

[BigJ89]

If that's the case, then that person should be outed and banned for the safety of this source and members here. I would like to think/hope someone couldn't be that fucking dumb to make a "mistake" like that, you almost have to do that on purpose

 

[BigBaldBeardGuy]

You don’t know that.

Douchebag coulda used the mailbox for the house down the street that he thought was vacant.

He could have used a work address and Marty in receiving didn’t like the looks of the box.

Maybe wifey got home early and doesn’t approve.

You’ll never know is the point. Stop speculating and move on. It’s one guy that’s out over $200 in shit. He’ll be on soon enough complaining that he hasn’t got his pack in over 3 weeks.

I guess they didn’t want to make sure their gear would get to their house lmfao

 

[BigJ89]

It's just hard to comprehend that kind of stupidity, which leads me to believe it was done on purpose

I don't want to start any conspiracies....but could it be someone trying to screw sym is what I'm getting at.....grabs tinfoil hat

I doubt it, there’s many other ways somebody could do that. It was probably just an error although one that should never ever happen in this business.
