List of Online Sellers/Stores to Avoid

I'v been reading this message board for a little over a week, it helped me immensely in my decision. I ended up choosing to give the Extreme a try.

I ordered it up from vaporizer.ca, only after asking an important question: "are you 100% sure you won't be sending any paperwork or anything to my billing address associated with my Mastercard?". This was a concern for me as I live in a different province and my billing address is my parents house.

I even went as far as emailing the same question while dealing with an issue relating to Mastercard not having my shipping address on file. The message i received was as follows:

Dear XXXX

We were not able to verify your shipping address. MasterCard did have an
alternate address on file, but it was not the xxx xxxxx Street address. If
you can give them a quick call and add that address, we'll be able to get
that order out to you.

No paperwork will be sent to your billing address, no worries.

Thanks!

All friendly customer service, until this morning, expecting my vapo to arrive. I check canadapost.ca to see where my orders at, and would you look at that, THEY SENT IT DIRECTLY TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE!

Not the end of the world,very frustrating and potentially awkward none the less. /rant off


Mod note: Vaporizer.ca should not be confused with Vaporizers.ca

Ordered a lot of stuff over a week ago.
They took my money with NONE of the stuff in stock.
Even though their website STILL claims the products are in stock, they aren't.


This is the SECOND time this store has done this to me.
Now im supposed to wait until they receive new stock.

They don't reply to emails
Their phone is an answering machine and they don't reply to those messages either

used to be a great company.
I had heard they were bought over, hence the change in customer service.
Its non existent

Time to find a new head shop


EDIT

*****
Just got them on the phone after trying since Thursday.
Supposedly my order will ship today, although ive heard that before.

Wouldn't be so bad , but its $700 worth of stuff.
They were quick enough to take my money when none of the products were in stock.

**********
Order has now shipped.
took just over a week to dispatch


Mod note: The shipping time is acceptable, especially for an overseas dealer, and everyonedoesit.com is NOT a dealer to avoid.

I've got one. It doesn't really count as much as its mostly a glass distributer but I use my glass with my vape so chunkyglasspipes.com.

The funniest thing is that they say that their dedicated to the best customer service when its almost non existent. They also state that its all american glass, but I'll get to that later.

So first order I make I'm waiting for my glass to come and it was 4 days past the expected date. I finally get it in the mail and open it up. First thing I notice is that the downstem has a "made in china" sticker on it. Are they so stupid that they didn't think to take it off? The bong was probably chinese too but theirs no way of telling that. So I try to pop the diffuser in the bong only to find guess what? Its way too long to even fit the bong anyways. So I email them and 5 days later they finally respond that they'll send me the new downstem after giving me some asshole attitude about it saying "Oh I'm sure you never make any mistakes".That pissed me off that they had that attitude with me. And even though I ordered 2-3 day shipping of course the downstem comes 3 days late and comes with guess what's on it. Another made in china sticker. After I complained about the first one! That was infuriating.

So a couple months later I decide to buy a vaporizer from them and not having done my homework I buy their piece of crap box. I get it in the mail late again with the screen so bent I couldn't even get it in to place so every time I got herbs in my mouth. I asked them for instructions on this and the fact that their stupid piece of junk has another made in china sticker on the bottom. (Yea definitely all american glass!) They never answered. About a month later the piece of crap breaks down(of course) so I email them to say how they need to refund me. I've emailed them like 5 times with no answer.

Whatever I tossed that worthless piece of shit in the trash can and bought a vbros from Vaporwarehouse. Best purchase I ever made. Sorry this is so long but I know some people might be lured by their low prices on glass but its probably cuz its chinese glass, plus their probably the worst distributor I've ever dealt with.

Another VaporizerGiant.com story.

I placed an order on Feb 1. It is now Feb 14 and I have nothing. I received a UPS e-mail 2 days after my order saying it will be delivered 2 day air. Nothing arrived. I called and e-mailed Vaporize Giant many times during these past 2 weeks. No reply, nothing. I called UPS and they said the package was never sent and the tracking number I was sent was just a billing order, which means they notified UPS a package will be dropped off. However, they never did. Still nothing after 2 weeks and it looks like I might be out $150...

Wish I would have done more research before buying....

Is it safe to say this thread is no longer being updated (considering "The_Algebraist" last posted October 2009)? It seems like a valuable tool to spare much suffering.

Hey, I've just been ripped off for the first time in my... almost a decade of making purchases online. I thought that maybe we could have a thread to just share negative feedback and warnings, because those are the ones that really matter.

Last month, May 23 to be specific, I placed an order for a double bubbler from a blower in Seattle who goes by "dethstar" on etsy and possibly other sites. He knocked $50 off the reg price of $150, and I agreed to pay him through paypal. I had asked him questions before hand and he said that he always has a few of these bubs made up and ready to go out, so the wait would be minimal. Right after i pay him he informs me that deliver will be within 10 days. I thought "wtf, thats over twice as long as he was originally saying, but ok" and just asked him to give me a tracking number, or at least just let me know when it ships out.

So about a week goes by and still no word, so I start emailing him to ask whats up. he gives me excuses about being out of town/state and the city shutting off power to his building and remodeling and this and that, so I give him some more time. At i email him again asking wtf is up and he says that it should be shipped out tomorrow, blah blah. A week later I inform him that I'm tired of waiting and listening to his excuses and that i would be opening a dispute on paypal in 2 days if i dont get at least a tracking number saying that is on its way to me. No response. I open the dispute with paypal and wait a few more days, no response. I check his etsy store and see that another user just posted complaints about being ripped off by him too, so I escalate my claim and still no word form him.

So in 3 days until the disputes up and I get my money back through paypal, hopefully, but what a total waste of time. So, anyways, dont buy from "dethstar"

*edit* wtf, i posted this in the wrong section, i blame the vapor~!

I doubt we'll hear from VapeGirl again .

Really? You wonder about the deception?

Just follow all the hype and make a decision for yourself.

To say a product is launching soon in Feb 2010...and 18 months later (that is a year and a half) we are still hearing news of the so called launch.

I call that deception. Maybe you don't.

Hmm - "VapeGirl" registered today and has been "following this for a while"? Then jumps on the side of the aforementioned low life?

Can anyone check "her" IP address and see if its the same as that cheesy guy?

Me thinks I smell a rat...

a comedienne huh?
Funny that you registered today and your first post was this drivel? Coincidence? I think not.

I stand Corrected .
re : Launch Practices
How come it's ok for the I-phone ?

This shit is crazy..

The VapeXhale team has been totally transparent. They have NOT taken any money for any of the pre-orders. The pre-order is just grabbing a ticket for your place in line.

I WOULD say that your company engages in deception by offering a product for sale that you don't even have and have never even seen. I do believe advertising and selling something you don't don't have and will never have access to is pure deception. Please crawl back under your rock. (I still stand by my sleaziest and cheesiest vaporizer seller comment!)

Jeez

Death to scammers. Hope they go down in flames!

I wonder if its the lovely jenny from vaporizerforweed.net?? red herring marketing is the company name
attached to their paypal acct- that alone tells us a lot.

@Scamgirl Sometimes perfection isn't instantaneous. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Oh, and if anyone is a little slow, this poster works for the questionable sites. What a crook. Stop attempting to thrive off other peoples hard work. Have you ever heard of karma?

vtac FTMFW!!!! I knew it. Skeezy ass scammers.

OK, on a more positive note, back to Friday evening festivities!

LOL @ FakeXhale.

Where can I get me one of these?

I'm not doubting that vaporizerforweed is associated with a whole lot of scam sites, but I just wanted to post my experience with them:

I bought my arizer solo from them a while ago (when you could actually buy directly from them, not the dodgy links they have on the site now), because of how cheap they were selling them, and it came in perfect working order, in pretty good time (it was international postage - about 1.5weeks)

So I can personally verify that they haven't always been exclusively scammers...
Just my

WOW!!!!! This post saved my friend about 300 bucks. He was convinced that those websites were legit and he almost purchased it. Thankfully I showed him a link to this thread and he quickly changed his mind. Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up!!
