Guys. As "consumers" we really have to understand that these are "businesses" we are dealing with but not equivalent to everyday businesses. Our sources are the "producers" and there are checks and balances that make this work so beautifully. It is in a sources best interest to be legitimate and make us feel like we are dealing with a real business.

What happens when sources do things that are not admirable? They receive negative reviews and bad scores. You can easily distinguish if it is a good idea or bad idea going through a source after simply researching. If you're getting ripped off it's because YOU didn't do your homework. This site could be turned into "Gear for Dummies" LITERALLY. Everything is broken down in terms that even gear heads with lower IQs can find a reputable source to go through. There is a ranking system for god sakes and you can research without actually having to dig through threads or anything it is all there. So guys all I'm saying is do your homework and remember you are most likely one of many customers for these guys, give them a break (if the source has a good rep). Shit happens. And when you agree to do business you should already know that you yourself are taking a risk.

I'm not sure some people on here really fathom how much business they receive and how much work really goes into it. Answering e-mails from hundreds to thousands of customers. A lot of you newer guys on here making your first orders are freaking out over mishaps that occur from time to time. They happen. It's random and it sucks when you are involved but it happens whether it be seizures, lost packages, hiccups in information, or mishaps with your source. Most of the time things get resolved if you just bring it to your sources attention and are polite about it. Don't freak out. Patience. I've had my fair share of problems with sources BUT I was always taken care of. I'll give you examples, I ordered a specific hormone from a source and received it with being the wrong ester. I notified the source and they just credited me on my next order. Another example, I like giving sources benefit of the doubt if they have a good rep. Quality reviews come from the people who had "not your average experience" with a source. That means look for the reviews with people who lost their shipment or even may have had it seized and just another problem. Research and see if it was resolved and how the source acted. You can tell a lot about a source by how they solve problems like this. If it was a pleasant experience and they have a good reputation you make the final call. Don't bash a source for small reasons give them a chance.

I am not saying there not bad sources out there and people looking for a quick buck through scams. There are. And sometimes sources do some questionable things. But that is what we get with an unregulated market. Us consumers NEED to be well informed and help each other through PMs and the review system. There are a lot of nice people on here and you need to realize there is always someone in the same boat as you.

Be easy my friends. Sorry for the rant but I don't like seeing people freaking over small problems because they have no experience.
