+ 1 Sources slacking
What the hell has happened to the sources here, use to they would respond before I even wrote a question, hell now I can't get hardly anyone to respond period. Sources here use to work hard to build their rep up....wtf happened. All I wanted was to get some info from you guys too make my order as smooth as possible, I messaged about 9 different suppliers local and international, no one is in a hurry for shit here. I've been around here a long time....I mean what's really going on. I was needing my shit quick. Nobody around to answer PM's . Guess everyone has done got rich here, nobody needs to answer they PM's. ATTENTION SOURCES If you want to be number 1 here you gotta put in the work... I know it sucks ass having to deal with idiots, but damn that's just life. Your always gonna have someone you piss off and their gonna try and run your name in the ground but guess what, you get some customers with decent reps writing your reviews than who are your new customers gonna believe. I pmd one of our top sources two days ago, I watched him come on line for over 2 hours yesterday and still made no effort to answer their pm. Life must really be busy with all the business you guys are losing. No shit up till about 2 years ago these sources use to go miles out of the way just to get my business. You guys gonna have to get it together. From the mast majority of complaints I've read the past few days in source discussion and reviews, it's lack of communication. Say I'm new to the AAS world, and I stumble apon eroids, hey this looking like something promising maybe a life changer, than they get to reading reviews and see all the bull shit communication. For someone new to the online world that would scare them away. If you want success than work your ass off for it. Words to take with you in every aspect of life

Ordering gear certainly isn't like shopping at amazon. Lol
Well damn there's gotta be something that can be done to help fix the problem like maybe make it where you've got to have at least 25 rep points to message suppliers here and make it where they only have access to their contact thru the suppliers web site
I have never in my life seen so many pickle gobbler beta males then I see on almost every si. Its no wonder they all want to take aas thinking it will make them less of a pussy. Dear source, you have my money, you told me to wait weeks for my stuff, im sorry I asked where my stuff is. Please accept my apology. Dear source, im sorry I called you out in public, i will still send you my money even though you call people assholes and tell everyone tough shit.
Thats the reason they dont give a shit, they have a shitload of fanboy beta males that they could literally tell them to say they are a homo and they would.
I have one bad experience I move on. I dont care if the shit made sparks shoot out of my ass I go elsewhere.
RustyhookerSpat my coffee....hahaha
Truth
Lol yeah we got some idiots around here. It's sad
Rosser01So true I think I actually read and studied all the sources pages for almost a year until i actually took the chance an ordered, but it paid off and worked out well.
RustyhookerIt is poor customer service. If they're behind on shipping for weeks, they used to do hiatus status and catch up. I can only imagine the normal flow on the big shots. Let alone getting behind.
Yup straight lazy they want all the rewards without putting in the work !!!!!
RustyhookerI know i could never handle their headaches. Forums is more than enough....lol
Yeah the forums these days can be a challenge lol
I wouldn't want those headaches either!!! but they should realize what they are getting into and if they can't handle it then don't and like Irishmack said above once the fanboys start their bullshit then the src just figures they can keep treating people like shit
I couldnt imagine replying to the same question over and over from probably 100s of people daily. It would drive me insane. So I wouldn't be surprised if they slow down after a while. I would.
Thats what makes no sense to me. Alot of these new guys need there hand held... make order, give them money, and sit back and wait till stated T/A to ask where is my stuff
That's kinda their job tho, just the same as any business. It all amounts to how serious they are at being successful in their field
Of course but imagine having the information that they need usually on the website if the customer reads a bit. So they have to sort through all of that to find the real issues must be a pain in the ass.
Oh I wasn't disagreeing with you homie, I know they go thru some shit here, but that's a part of it. I can imagine all the mail they get from idiots.
Mmmm that is true, people become complacent usually in the end if things are going well.
I think the sources eventually get burned out after awhile also. Customer service may begin to slack but once enough people start complaining about it they usually seem to step their game back up. I really only deal with a handful of sources and fortunately they are always quick to respond. I like to peek into alot of the SI's to see if they are on top of their game. I don't comment much in most of them but it is a good way to stay on top of who is conducting business professionally..
You couldn't be more right. I try and keep an eye on whose doing what as far as sources go as well. Don't like throwing away my money but my main source always comes thru tho
You are 100% right on the people new to internet part that's a scary jump glad I made it though
I checked and see your start date is damn near the first day eroids was online. I've seen this change in the 2yrs I've been here what I have found is srcs that aren't ranked are actually much better than the srcs that are in the top ten. I shouldn't be so broad as you know there are srcs in the top ten that have been there for yrs and im talking about 1 that happens to be royalty around here if you get what im saying still worth it. The hidden gem is where its at now. You literally have srcs asking there customers not to vote for them because they don't want to be ranked.
Things have changed
You have a strong point here
A top 10 ranking can easily be a target on their back, more so for domestic but international could be also depending on the laws in said source's country and LE' s interest in the inforcement of said laws,......... after applicable bribes.
I agree that the top ten us domestic list is most likely the top 10 wanted list basically hanging on le's wall. Its actually a smart move on the src that requests thats part in my opinion.
Thanks bro, im just calling it as I see it. I have seen a dramatic change here. I Just feel like our top sources have got cocky. No need to work as hard now that they are on top. But it won't last unless they improve communication. And me personally I don't care if they are number one here and have great reviews. I am not ordering if I don't establish communication first ya feel me
I couldn't agree with you more I hope a src sees this and takes the initiative to contact you.
I'm sure they'll see it, I Just hope they pull they shit together. They are only hurting themselves. Ill be ok, I will probably be sticking with my international source. They are always on point and aren't on the top 15
If your stateside. There is someone I fuck with that had shit to my door 3 days after order. And has pm'd me back in less than 3-4 hours at the most. Just pick the rite one. Your obviously asking the wrong people questions if there not getting back to you
Friend request send man I gotta ask you something.
Anonworrying^^^
Why
You may be right bro, but the sources I've contacted are in our top 15, ive been a member here for damn near the beginning of eroids and active for most of that so I'm no stranger to choosing a source. All I'm saying is allot of these sources are not putting forth the effort they use to. Trust me I'm happy you've got a good one. I don't know who you use but if your defending them then you probably do have a good one and this isn't a stab at all suppliers. But I should get a response from one of the 8 I've sent out in the top 15 ya know. It's been over 3 days and haven't got but one reply back out of 8
AnonI stay away from the top 20, I only use one particular source here and they are top notch, they're way down the list though. I feel a little shitty though because they seem to drop what they're doing just to make me happy and I havnt left a review yet. On vacation next week so ill have ample amout of time to do it.
Yeah make sure you do that no matter if the review is ever good or bad it helps out others and ordering later on, the more you build up your rep the more people will trust your comments and reviews thanks for the comment homie I appreciate you taking time to post
It does seem to repeat itself on the forums but me as a new person. With the sources I've had to deal with have been quick at helping and responding. Just tiny questions tho. 1 source takes looong to deliver but the message is still alive.
I think people don't realize that it can be weekend for them also, and delivery is out of their hands, and yes prolly some sources lacking also I guess it will show in the rankings then no?
I get that sources have to have time off, I promise I'm not new here, my comments aren't based on my experience for the past few days. I'm on here allot without commenting at all. There are SOURCES I've dealt with over the past 6 years that are slacking too. You may have a good supplier and their communication may be A1 and that's really awesome. But for someone that is looking for an alternative to their main source and they go by the ranking system to choose another source and messages a few out of the top 20 and nearly no one replies 4 days later and in the middle of the week. It wasn't the weekend when I started messaging. Bottom line is maybe not all, but allot of these sources are slacking. All the sources have a source discussion thread. In the past they posted in their thread if they were gonna have time off or be a while getting back to their messages. Ain't like I'm trying to by weed from my weed (whom is actually fantastic cause he likes $$$) I'm buying from what's supposed to be a business, and communication is the key to running a successful business. Well that along with hard work. Hell back in the day sources use to send out few gear to the higher ranked members just to get them to review there products. Reviews use to be important to suppliers. I'm not asking for any hand outs, I just wanna buy some gear just like any other man on the face of this planet. I'm gonna break this down for ya. Money= test test= Nice body nice body= more vajayjay for da popeboy. So actually their not just being bad sales man, if you add it all up their bring cockblocks too... And no one like a cock block. Just saying. Lol but for real tho all jokes aside. We probably do have some really good sources left here, I would love to do business with some of them. But they got answer their pms and get on their grinds if they want that extra review.
I feel you noone likes cockblockers haha. No seriously I agree now I get your points. I think the huge shops are ok its like a big market here and you want like the family business 2 streets down the road where you know their daughter and know when they get their refills and shit. Find some hidden gems ;) I've seen some who don't even want to be in the ranking but with tremendous reviews.
