PreparationH said: Also apparently Ralphster, another former sponsor, sent out many crap spore syringes to people. He is no longer a sponsor.
But this thread, in the midst of what is going on with kratom, is kinda goofy.
Ralphster is a scumbag. He is still operating his site, and scamming everyone, not even sending product. The BBB has several complaints. He stole ~$50 from me last year or so when I wanted to get back into the hobby
This the Canadian side, but I emailed the US side many times asking why they associate with such a person and they always ignored me.

Your mad at me. You think I did wrong. I get it.
Maybe I did.
But I didn't think I was doing anything wrong at the time.
If I fucked up, I am sorry.
Like I said, i do my best.

You are mistaking my bluntness as emotional investment.
I'm not angry with you moonshoe.
A little disappointed initially.
But at the end of the day, just throwing my 2 cents in and I don't mean to drag this on.
I'm glad it's showing up for you. I too need to order some. A shroomerite gifted me a small bag before and I enjoyed it. It was subtle but I liked it.

With the benefit of hindsight, It now seems I made a mistake, and I emailed the vendor to apologize.
Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.
Unfortunately, from where I was standing prior to friday, things looked and felt very different.
There are MANY things in life that in retrospect I would do differently.
Sadly, I can only blunder through life with the most strength, discipline and compassion I can muster, and try not to be overwhelmed with the burden of my innumerable mistakes.
To be honest, this doesn't even rate on my list of regrets, but I do apologize to the vendor and the community nevertheless.

I don't feel it was a huge blunder either in the grand scheme of things.
We all get emotionally charged sometimes.
Especially when waiting...especially when even being ignored perhaps.
And eating crow isn't easy. You already mentioned it means nothing to you, but that earns my respect back and then some
Solid character shining through with that response.

Thank you sir.
To be a person of discipline and character and moral quality is my sincere quest.
Lately I have noticed a tendency to fly off the handle when for the last 28 years I was notoriously calm and placid.
I have conjectured that my increased martial arts and workout regimine, watching UFC constantly, taking a testosterone catalyst and eating a testosterone-producing diet have all been factors in my new tendency to get angry.
As a result, I find myself apologizing more often as well.

Moonshoe, I feel bad that your getting such a tough time from anyone, I'd be concerned too if I didn't get any communication for a week, but after looking at the information supplied by us all about the kratom situation (how it's become banned, so everyone is scrambling to buy as much as they can, causing WWS to be bombarded at the last minute with hundreds of orders, how everyone has vouched for them, and the fact that they've Been a reliable source for years with positive reviews. And that their not a large business with dozens of employees), we'd hope that you realized that it's an uncommon situation/thing for them to take a longer time to communicate.

Well, now that I have heard from them, its all worked out. They aren't scamming, they are a legit vendor, and they come through.
It was a misunderstanding for which I have apologized. I understand the unusual circumstances that resulted in the lapse in communication.
Being totally broke at the moment, the apparent loss of the money I spent on the kilo freaked me out more than it would usually.
I was also freaked out by the impending ban, and wanted to make sure I got my last kilo from the states before it was too late, so when I didn't hear anything for a week i worried.
I edited the thread title and the OP to reflect that it was my mistake.

Doesn't Kratom come from Asia?
Why does it being banned in America effect you so much moonshoe? Surely there are vendors outside the states, or vendors planning on moving to a more tolerable nation.
I feel for all the Kratom heads out there. Sad day for humanity.

I have domestic vendors, but they are more expensive than the US vendors with sometimes worse product.
Far quicker delivery and service though, reliable and fast.
I don't know if the US ban will effect canada, or if Canada will follow the US in imposing a ban.
I just love kratom so much that when I heard of the ban I felt the need to stock up, just in case.
As a survivalist and prepper, a large supply is desirable anyways. Stocking up before the ban just seemed right to me.

Canada usually does follow in our footsteps, so you're probably fucked.

If Stephen Harper was still in power, absolutely.
Having Justin Trudeau in power, who is moving to legalize weed and recently legalized prescription heroin, I honestly dont think we will, but I am not taking any chances just in case.

Good call on fixing the thread title Moonshoe.
It was kinda funny seeing you and Masked both say you hadn't really taken notice of each other until recently, I swear I've been mixing the two of you up in my mind for years. Both from Canada (I think?), names both start with a capital M, gone through a few avatars that blur together in my mind, etc.

Plot twist: they're both the same person suffering from some sort of personality disorder/acute clinical insanity.

This. Say each order takes an optimistic 10 minutes to pack. At 100 orders per day, that's over 16 and a half hours just preparing shipments. Not including accepting orders, e-mails etc.

Moonshoe said: Shouldn't it be possible to set up an automatic shipping notification system? I seem to get automatic shipping notifications from all other vendors I use. If I had simply got an automatically generated email saying "your product has been shipped" then this misunderstanding would never have occurred.
Surely the technology is available.
That isn't really automated, though; Someone still has to send that e-mail, the message is just stock/impersonal aside from the unique tracking number/address. Truly automated messages would be like postal services use, and require scanning the packages. I really don't think any shipping and postage services has programs to automatically e-mail whoever the pack is going to.

I will say, WSS should have made a genetic email that sent out to everyone in their inbox. Massive group email. U can send those to thousands of recipiants right? That could have avoided this whole mini-ordeal here.
Something of the likes of:
"Dear Valued Customer, Currently we are experiencing very high volumes of orders from emails and phone calls. Please expect delays from any emails you have sent us, we have a small staff that is currently trying to respond to your emails. Thank you for your patience and business. Sincerly, WSS."

Thanks for the heads up OP. I was probably going to order kratom from that vendor but now I'm sketched for sure. I'll just find another one I guess.

No need to be sketched they won't scam you, but the shipping and customer service will be slow due to their being overwhelmed with orders.
