+ 52 Ordering Strategy for New Members

ad

Ive been a member here for a little over a year and in that time ive learned so much. I haven't really posted much because I'm still in the learning stage when it comes to AAS and the correct usage for them. After spending the last year pouring over this site i feel i now can contribute something to the new member coming to eroids looking to buy gear. I have developed a tried and true method to purchasing gear that is realitively safe. I say relatively because no online purchase of juice is ever truely safe and without risk

So if you are new to this site you can follow these simple steps to getting gear. (Ive ordered from probably a dozen sources listed sources here and have never been screwed and have only had a couple outside of TA time)

  1. Know what you want before you start your source checking. This is crucial!!

  2. click on sources at top left of home page. Now go to steroid reviews. Once the source names pop up click on which domestic supplier list you want. (Small orange buttons at top right)

  3. Now its a pretty safe bet that the guys(and grrls) in the top 10 will deliver as promised BUT things on the supplier side happen from time to time that are out of their control. This leads to the next step...

  4. Once you have narrowed down you selection you need to go to the forum and click on Supplier Introduction. Find the supplier or suppliers you are considering and read the posts going back at least 2 weeks and see if they are having issues beyond their control. (Out of stock items or things of that nature) This is also a good time to see what people are saying about the products or TA times........also check out the unread PM function right under the suppliers name at top of page. Its a pretty safe bet that if a supplier has a shitload of unread PMs then something is wrong. Might want to hold off from ordering from them until conditions get better.

  5. Karma is there for a reason!!!! If a supplier intro or review section is full of posts from really low karma members, beware!

  6. After doing all these things and zeroing in on a good supplier (remember, you researched them and you should feel fairly comfortable at this point) Click on the suppliers name and send them a friend request. From this point on all talk about this should be handled through PMs(private message). I usually tell them what im wanting to order and see if there are any inventory problems just to be sure.
    Edit: I knew i would forget something, so to go along with 6, dont not under any circumstance post anywhere on this site payment info. If you want to discuss payment detail it should be by PM ONLY!!!" Personally i feel discussing payment info publically should by a bannable offense. ( credit goes to Irish for reminding me about this very impotant edit)

  7. Place order with said supplier then............WAIT, WAIT, and WAIT. This step is the hardest part of the process. I know the urge is there to blow up a suppliers inbox when your shit is on the way, but dont. It only slows the process down for all. I usuallywait a few days past TA time before i contact them and them i do it through PM. This is important!!!!

  8. After recieving gear DO NOT post a review. Use the product and then post a review!!

I hope this helps those new to this site because i know i stumbled a few times when i first became a member.

Thanks for this post man! I've wasted money on gear never received by basically failing some of these steps.

Thanks for the post. I havent placed an order before only person to person and have been very apprehensive with the whole process. This helps put my mind to ease.

2 questions:

1: What are the rules about PM; do I have to make orders with PM on eroids, or is good to go to the suppliers website to make the email (order)?

2: How long should I be cool on eroids for before I gain ordering power? (i.e. when can I start ordering?... Karma?)

Okay, makes sense. Thanks for the help, and thanks for the post. Very helpful !

Those are a great tips, bro.

As a source, I have to tell you we are doing our best to make your step 7 easier. We should give all the information we can about your order status and we should answer every email from our customer as fast as we can. In fact, we do.

All the best.

Great Post. One question. When you register, or at anytime cause you can edit it, do you need a secure email address. Can you use aol? I created a email address at hushmail.com free and very secure. Do I need to use the secure address in my profile information or when ordering??? Thx

bpals250's picture

Ok. I know one source makes you use a secure email address. Not using them just wanted to make sure this wasn't required for all sources. Thanks man big help

this is one of the best newby threads ive read (not calling you a newb bro) +2

popeboy1's picture

but at least your smart about it, most guys are so impatient to waste their gear that it takes 3 or 4 failed cycles to realize maybe they should have done a lil more research

Very helpful article as it can be a bit overwhelming when ordering for the first time. Knowing exactly what you want and where you want to get it seem to be the most difficult of the process. Plus remembering not to rush the process is probably the best piece of advice. Thanks for the advice

Great Post Ray! I joined back in November and followed alot of these steps on my own before placing my first order and everything worked out fine...I was very tempted to email the src as many newbie's are, but I refrained from doing so knowing it would be pointless...All newbs should read this for sure!
