Seriously, you guys should just put the claws away for a bit. It is just some cheap culture vials, this guy volunteered to buy these in bulk and pass savings on, if you want faster shipping and orders go to Cynmar or some similar and pay more. He is doing us a favor! He has been a member for almost 2 years and doesn't have only 10 posts, plus he is a premium supporter. It would be pretty dumb to screw one person on HBT and ruin his history and rep, let alone a decent sized group like us. I doubt there is anything nefarious going on.

If you don't want to buy his hospital (which I have no problem believing) then just think about his situation logically, why would he still be on here if he wanted to "take the money and run?"

I was told my order shipped last week, clearly it did not. That is my issue. If everyone here is okay with being lied too and that is not considered nefarious, then I have some culture vials I would like to sell you...

Too late about your reputation. You should not have PM'd me last week saying my vials were shipped and I would have them by Wednesday May 9th, I still don't have them nor do I have any confidence I will ever receive them. Has anyone to date received their order?

I tossed two yeast cakes I was hoping to harvest.

I have checked his Profile which shows the last date he was Active in the forum and he has been checking in every day....not buying the hospital story. A simple "i am laid up in the hospital" would have been prudent on any of those days he showed as active on the forum.

Lesson learned.

Sorry dude but you're wrong. If im sick the last thing im worrying about is your vials.
 
I'm not a doctor, but I do think pain meds can make people a bit loopy.

And that last post made me laugh a bit.
 
who knew that $12 worth of vials would cause such an uproar? Take care of yourself and take your time with sending mine
 
I've got no skin in this transaction, but I've had kidney stones and it was indescribable pain. Like emergency room and morphine pain, I was a zombie for a couple days.

Hope the OP is feeling better and that everything gets sorted out for everyone else.
 
This has become quite amusing. Have a great weekend all. Be well and feel well. Lol
 
Not involved in this transaction, but I'm a firefighter/paramedic. They told us in paramedic school kidney stones are the male equivalent to delivering a baby. My wife has had them and she said they are worse than labor.
 
Just send the doubters their vials......with some kidney stones in the vials :D


Get better...My vials are not so important that I am not willing to wait.
 
Hope you feel better soon! Take your time on the vials, I appreciate the effort to pass on the savings. Your reputation is still good in my book!

If you want to know who ruined their reputation its you. It's $25 of vials. If it gets here in a few months who gives a crap. You want it fast then order it yourself. Should seriously send him the stones in the vials.
 
Did any of those orders ship out to me? Just wanted to make sure I should be on the look out for them.
 
I am going to have all the vials in the mail by end of the week. I have some boxed up going out in the morning when the mail man comes. I can't drive with the pain meds to drop them off at the post. If any of the local guys want to stopi in and pick them up I am home this week.
 
If u r shipping through the post office they will come n pick up at your door. It's called carrier pickup u can do it online. I also think UPS does it also.
 
Any updates? I am now sitting at home with not much to do and a little less left index finger. It sure would be nice to tinker with my beer stuff.
 
I think the main problem with these kinds of transactions is the lack of communication one way or another from the OP. It shouldn't be too hard to give an ETA from one coast to the other. It might go a long ways towards individual interactions.
 
And the thing is he does not seem to be willing to respond to this thread. I posted up for an update on the 18th and he was last active on the 19th. I will give it another couple of days for some sort of contact then Paypal will be fetching my money back. I am willing to to give a guy some credit and if you get sick you get sick give a little more but it is starting to get out of hand. I am really unhappy about he yeast cakes I have lost though
 
My payment was sent April 9th...I could have had a kidney transplant and fully recovered by now.

But I am the d_ _ k for expressing my concerns.

Glad to see I am not the only one...wait...maybe his Appendix burst over the weekend.
 
Oh I know not a word. I have had several kidney stones and as soon as they are either removed or broke up the relief is overnight if not sooner. Shoot my last one was 9mm. I was up and about 2 days later, The stint was was removed 5 days later.
 
Although I have not been one of the unlucky participants...I find this post extremely "soap operaish" lol! I'm sorry fellas, I check back everyday to see what is unfolding. Good luck.
