LocalKiwi???

Order was marked as shipped a week ago and I have not received the product. I understand they posted that they are having some problems with shipping but they also haven't been online for 4 days now so I'm kind of worrying they have exit scammed. Anyone else struggling with this vendor?

Re: LocalKiwi???

Yes I have the same story.. I received a reply before he went offline-
"We are currently pausing online store operations, due to some internal issues which came by very unexpectedly, but our team remains active and will be returning very shortly. We are fully aware of the delay and apologize wholeheartedly. At this moment, we do not have an estimated delivery date for the order. However, as soon as I do, the product will be shipped out to you  immediately. We understand your frustration and thank you for your patience, and continuous support during this period, Please keep an eye out for official updates on our forums
Sincerely localkiwi,"

But something about him setting store to vacation mode tells me its a staff/stock/shipping or other issue rather than an exit. And also he took the time to respond. If I were him and exiting, I would leave all FE listings up and withdraw daily...

Yeah, them being in vacation mode gives me some hope. I was also sent the same message.

Shame that really I know the speed scene has been quite dry of late and  a reliable supply of quality amp will always draw customers.

Doesn't look like they are coming back, they haven't gone online since. I was told by Tor Market support that LocalKiwi refunded escrow before going offline, so this wasn't a scam. I guess they must've just run into some issues and decided to quit vending, and I guess this was a lesson learned to not use FE on new vendors.

Did not trust them, not surprised... speed ordering was dubious - cut seemed to scale with quantity ordered - e.g 2gm @~50%, 12gm@~20% etc (calculated from water washing orders). Obvious colour and consistency difference and big caffeine crystals . It was shit speed and extends the continuing sad tale of trying to find a good speed dealer in NZ.

Ah I see, I only got to try their 0.5g speed sample before they left so that must be why it felt like good speed to me. I guess I wasn't missing out on much from my order of 7g they ended up scamming me on. Pretty sneaky scaling cut with quantity.

I'm really hoping for a good speed vendor to arise in NZ. We really need it and there seems to be a big market for it. It only took BulkNZ a week to sell out of all their speed and LocalKiwi was getting heaps of sales on theirs. Whoever could sell it would make a shit ton of money.

Re: LocalKiwi???

I can state with certainty that Localkiwi will not return. It is unwise to finalize early with any vendor you have not used before
