Black.Goldβs RSO is excellent. Really thick, very clean and decently strong. I use it for back pain and also recreationally and its great for both. Tried lots of it from different vendors here and I think this is perhaps the best

Distillate / RSO recommendations
Fellow Biggas
I have been running on edibles for an entire year now and have been thinking of moving onto distillates.
Do you guys have any recommendations about distillates on LB?
I prefer RSO but am open to D9 suggestions too :-)
If I am correct is (quasi)odorless so supposedly it would be an easy thing to take on a trip (the trip being both figurative and literate).
Cheers

Distillate on its own i wouldn't recommend, you get high, but zero other affects, like 'happy' 'euphoric' etc
That being said i got a 1ml bit of rso last week and ate the whole thing in one day, was smoking too, was kinda shocked cause the sellers rso had incredible rep, even if their stuff is cheapest on lb. They had to re-launch shop so i guess it was just old stock or something.
I'd recommend Sensi's 50/50 distillate live resin, or even better the 100% live resin, if you don't want to vape it all you can use safety pin to extract it from cart and spread it on paper.
I'd also recommend Your Natural Medicine's rso.

Hi BBDoom
Thanks & point taken. Same with edibles I have seen variations between similar products from different vendors (i.e advertised mg) but also between different batches of the same vendor sometime.
Equally with edibles I prefer those who are full spectrum.
I'm going to check out Sensi's and YNM RSOs next, thanks for the recommendations.

RocketDogRonnies FECO is pretty special. I prefer it to most RSO and a lot better than distillate π

I think Diamond Extracts has some of the best value D9 I am slowly working my way through 20ml

Non-KYC UK

Non-KYC UK
Folks
I'm currently getting burned due to my constant flogging of items on a well known online shop.
I was unaware of this but since the 1st of Jan 2024 those well known online selling businesses have been reporting to the T@xm@n.
I am in a bit of a mess right now and while researching this I came across this:
https://www.fidelity.co.uk/markets-insights/markets/global/hmrcs-new-reason-to-target-crypto-investors/
Apparently the Gov sees it that disposing of crypto assets by either buying goods or services can be taxed.
This means that come 2026 us Biggas could be in for a rude awakening if we had to pay back taxes on years of single crypto purchases.
So, as per the subject line, what are the available options for non-KYC crypto purchases?

tracing crypto?

tracing crypto?
Hi Biggas
More than a year ago I was banned from coinbase for paying directly from my coinbase account.
I have learned a hard lesson but I'm curious about what/how far they could actually trace the transactions.
Can one merely trace back to transaxe or can one trace back to individual vendors?
Thanks!

Transaxe alone, I'd imagine mate. Check the addresses you send to: are they ever the same? It's all traceable, yet you'll never be sending to a wallet address that has things sent to it previously (this is traceable online...). When you get a small referral payment there's often a large associated payment piggybacking with that in the one transaction. Someone is well aware of traceability, and they work here, thankfully. Traceability is most critical at entry and exit of the system...

HI MightyRux
Thanks this is waht I thought.
I've since then moved on from coinbase but I was wondering whether they simply flagged payments sent to transaxe.
Thanks Buddy

Since transaxe generate a new wallet address for every transaction I don't believe for one minute that these transactions are traced. At the same time anyone making repeated small-ish send orders is almost certainly buying illegal product. What else would it be?- why would anyone pay silly fees to buy legal products?
Do Coinbase care at that point?...nope but they have to show they are doing something to keep their house in order so they go after the micro-fry like us. If you were shifting vast amounts to move arms across the middle east or central europe that would be fine. But by showing that they have frozen hundreds of accounts (at no cost to themsleves) they attempt to demonstrate they have clean hands.
Thats my view anyway....

Hi Polly
Thanks buddy that's what I thought.
eToro also kicked me out after a few transactions, that was pretty much when the previous UK Gov came up with new laws requiring crypto exchnge to carry regular checks.
Both Coinbase and eToro didn't seem to like my sending BTCs to transaxe.
As you said repeated small transfers can easily be flagged but I suspect they didn't like the destination.

I was banned from nexo for the same reason. Revolut didn't even let me send bitcoins to an unknown address, asking me first for the reason and an identifier of the recipient, I then tried typing in my binance address and as if by magic the recipient was no longer unknown because my name came up as the recipient. In any case, I have never had any problems sending payment from binance, at least so far. Wouldn't it be better to buy a hard wallet and transfer payments directly from there?

Just get a non-KYC wallet like Exodus and send to and from there. Use something similar for any referral payments, considering what we're saying about tracking and traceability.

New payment options?

New payment options?
Hi Biggas
I just placed an order and when on the payment page there were a couple of new options.
I cannot remember the exact phrasing but they were two options along the lines of "pay from exchange" and "pay from card" or whatever.
Did I miss something here? Can we now pay using cards and/or bank accounts?
Cheers

It's been like this since I joined LB. It just directs you to places that you can pay for BTC via those methods. Probably to help newbies out a bit

Revolut has blocked my hardware wallet

Revolut has blocked my hardware wallet
Hi Biggas
I suspect most FCA endorsed exchanges use AI to spot dodgy transactions and customers at this stage.
After being banned from coinbase form sending direct to LB, ditto with eToro and after a couple of succesful transfers from my new Revolut account to Atomic Wallet Revolut has now blocked my AW.
I had a lengthy chat with their support and I tried not to be too unpleasant but I was pissed off having just purchased 250Β£ of BTC through them.
They won't tell me why of course and there is no way they could know what I do with my AW BTCs (please do correct me if I'm wrong).
The only explanation I can think of is that they have an automated way of spotting potentially suspicious behaviours like the following: customer buys BTCs every other month and immediately transfer them to an external wallet but never activated their useless credit card and is not using any of their other services.
If my intuition is correct then I am looking at getting banned and/or seeing my second line wallet blocked permanently every so often (Revolut actually made it clear tha t I would not be able to send to AW ever again).
The implication is that I will have to constantly move from exchange to exchange and from hardware wallet to hardware wallet.
Any other biggas already living this nomadic crypto life?

Iβve jumped about from place to place over the years for sure. π
Revolut keep βinvestigatingβ something or other. But Iβm never making >Β£100 at a time. So it may look suss.
Always back pretty fast though. I never say a word.
Can you not bounce off a software wallet, just for the Biggy transactions? Probably some transfer costs associated with that though, I guess.
I do wonder how long it will last before, like Bruce Banner. Or probably more like the stupidest hobo. I have to move on to some other, unexplored crypto nightmare that Tomorrowβs World definitely told us nothing about.

Hi syd
I am now buying on Revolut then transferrign to Exodus and then transferring to Atomic.
Yes i know what you think: the cumulative fees going through multiple wallets.
But as you've experienced yourself it is a cat and mouse game.

They can type the address you use for receiving (the one in your AW).
They could type it into one of these btc tracker sites, that show transaction fees, blockchain info, etc.
Try typing your wallets address here in link above, and every single transactioin you've made should be listed.
It's not ideal thats for sure.

Order paid but has now disappeared!
Hi Biggas
This one sucks big time.
On the first I bought some weed from Green Cat and the transaction went through.
Now I realized that I hadn't heard back from the Cat and the order is not showing up in my order list.
The BTCs were sent from Atomic Wallet and have definitely been received by Transaxe as the order was marked as paid.
I did place an order straight after with My Natural Medicine and this was fine.
So I have 200+ $ which have vanished .
I do have the transacation hash and the send address in my wallet.
Has this happened to anyone and what should I do next?

Hey Biggas
I've just done the right thing and sent a private message to transaxe support.
I've given them the time/BTC amount/BTC network fee/send address & TX hash so hopefully they can sort me out.
That is a lot of money gone in the ether: a full oz of silver bubble :-(

OK Biggas
So I sent a PM to Transaxe Support and gave the Green Cat a heads up as instructed on the Transaxe help thread.
The Cat has now gotten back to me saiyng he had received the order and the oz is on its way - tracking number and all.
This place feels like heaven π
Long Live (9 of them to boot) the π

BTC UK Exchange trouble brewing...

BTC UK Exchange trouble brewing...
Hey Biggas
Just when I thought I was out of trouble those mofos are at it again!
So those of you might remember that one year ago my UK Bank started to block my BTC purchases made using a well-known Exchange.
After much pain and suffering I ended up using a UK FCA approved Exchange.
I was alright for a year and this month I spent a bit more than normal as I wanted to stash up for the Winter/Xmas.
It looks like I attracted the wrong kind of attention as my Exchange emailed me this:
######################################
Please clarify your connection and the purpose of the following transfers that you made from his wallet to the following BTC addresses:
Please also clarify if these addresses belong to his private wallet or are part of a service and provide supporting documents, (for example screenshots) that corroborate your explanation and explain the crypto strategy.
Please also note that we have temporally limited your wallet in the interim.
To continue using and enjoying our services, please provide the requested information above within the next 28 days.
######################################
One thing worth mentioning is that that specific UK FCA approved exchange forces you to transfer BTC into their wallet FIRST no matter what.
So far I would just use their wallet to send BTC to vendors on LB without going through another wallet.
I'm interested to hear from other biggas who might have the same experience recently and would of course appreciate any tips or insights they can share.
I've just replied to my exchange claiming that these transactions were transfers towards my other wallets given that they locked me in with their own.
Cheers

What crypto exchange are you using? I'm a crypto fanatic with verified accounts with 5 different exchanges here in the UK, to keep my options open. I've never heard of a problem like you're facing, so my advice would be to change exchanges or set up your own wallet, like Trust Wallet or something similar. I really am curious to which exchange is giving you grief. I think you name and shame em man.

Hi JimF420
It's eToro.
I think that what is happening to me is to be expected from all FCA approved exchanges.
These are the new travel rules imposed onto exchanges by the UK Gov.

Hi BB
Maybe you are hinting at application of the travel rule.
I've been doing some research and reading on what is happening and I agree that this very much look like it.
I saw that - thanks to the usual culprits - the law has been changed and has kicked into effect this Autumn. I started this topic also as a warning because we might start seeing more of this stuff now that some kyc exchanges are being regulated.
I think the guidance state that the transaction should be blocked until the required information has been obtained about the nature/target of the transaction).
In my case this seems to have been done retroactively, they might have a threshold on the transaction amount which triggered their request for documents and/or explanation.
Either way I haven't heard back from them yet, I figured if they have the means to trace the transaction so far as to gather evidence to challenge my explanation I can always 1) pretend I got mixed up between transactions or 2) ask to have my money back or btc transferred somewhere else and close the account.
That or they might just be ticking the box and log my statement somewhere for compliance.
In which case my bluff won't be called...
Will update the biggas.

Hi BB
Obviously I won't name the banks or exchanges but the way it work is this:
1) I transfer some punds form my UK bank into that FCA approved crypto exchange
2) Using the pounds I purchase some BTC on the Exchange web site
3) Then I have to transfer the BTCs to their Exchange smartphone wallet app (they won't let you transfer out of the exchange into third party wallets).
4) Then I place an order on LB and pay using their smartphone wallet app ( I know I cut corners by not transferring into another wallet but the fees would stack up fast!).
In this case they asked me what the last two succesful BTC sends I made using their wallet were for. No payments is pending or failed they are merely asking what/who the transactions were about/for.
Now they should not be able to trace the transactions all the way back to the receiver so I told them that these transfers were towards some of my other wallets but it's not true.
Obviously if they piss me off too much or are getting too nosy I will move onto another FCA approved BTC Exchange but frankly this is starting to piss me off.
We're small fish here (at least I am) so if they want to clamp down on money laundering and such things I can direct the UK Gov straight to their mates who they've handed out millions of our taxpayer moneis to (Baroness PPE and so on).
I just thought some other biggas had this lately - or were going to so I thought I'll share it here.
Cheers

I was considering sending straight from CB last week to avoid fees, i ended up spending another Β£20 or so just to avoid it tho.
Transaxe always use the same address, at the beginning it's always the same, and if you check the blockchain you'll see a vast number of transactions are using transaxe.
always starts with bc1
At least your funds got sent, nothing worse.π

All SegWit addresses start with 'bc1' or '3' friend. Legacy addresses start with '1'. It's not a Transaxe thing, it's not possible to change the first character(s) beyond what I just mentioned.
A new address is generated for every transaction, you can see this for yourself if you copy and paste the Transaxe address into blockchain.com, I believe this is a requirement for payment processors here.
You can dive deeper than that tho if you know what I mean.
As for the original post, Revolut, Monza etc are crypto-friendly and won't have an issue with you buying from Coinbase or Kraken.
If you change your bank and just use a non-KYC exchange like Banxa or Moonpay you will certainly have no issues.

I've been doing what you are trying to avoid. Can confirm I was charged over 35$ to buy and send 290$ worth. Ended up getting absolutely stroked as though they have just upped the fees for transferring to my own wallet and I'm considering my alternatives now. Help

Hi bongzai
Thanks for sharing.
Just when I thought sticking to an approved exchange would see me through :-(
OK so the way out is going to be a wallet which is reliable, secure and NOT under the control of an approved exchange.
Not how I was thinking of spending Xmas.
Still let's wait and see what I hear back from the exchange.

Hi BB
Thanks. You're right that the funds went through but it's the next send I'm worried about.
Sounds like I need to go through a second wallet or use something like a bitcoin mixer.
Or both. Which I don't want to do.
I don't want to have to relocate to a new exchange every few months either.

Just get your own wallet i use atomic wallet, fees aren't the best but i imagine not the worst either.π

Hi BBDoom
I've been offline for a while.
They ended up closing my account as expected.
They then transferred what I had left into my bank account after converting the BTC in dollars.
I have now opened an account with Revolut and have transferred BTC to my Atomic Wallet.
I'm waiting on psychonauts to give me the green light to purchase their new vape ;-)
Thanks for your valuable advice and help and I hope you had a nice Xmas :-)

Hi BBDoom
I've installed atomic wallet.
I then tried to transfer my BTCs from my eToro wallet to my AW but it got blocked.
Fri morning I then got this from eToro:
################################
Thank you for your cooperation in submitting the required information.
We have forwarded them to the operations team for further review.
Once we have an update, we will let you know right away.
################################
Since then they have removed th option to view/send BTC from my wallet.
Sounds like they're going to close my account.
What remains to be seen is whether I get my 300$ of BTC back.
You see BB I did my homework not to waste biggas's time and I found out that the UK Gov has ALSO changed the law so that BTCs can be seized:

Iβve noticed with atomic wallet thereβs a βsimplex feeβ aswell as an atomic fee so basically paying commission to two places. Also have you noticed you have to pay fees when network fees when buying on atomic but not on coinbase.
All of that combined with the network fee back up means itβs gonna cost me around 190 for a 150 order on here, not sure if I can justify π©

Hi S12345
I was on coinbase and my bank blocked the transfers after a while.
While the fees suck there is no comparison with what life used to be like before finding LB so am willing to put up with them.

Budget Bud?

Budget Bud?
Hi Biggas
Am back! Not only that but the BCs I bought last Nov have gone up 20% so I'm spoiling myself :-)
Am curently stashing up like a squirrel on acid (hint: guess what I just bought...).
Edibles on the way too so now I just need a bit of green for my Vapcap (I like to top up my edible with a few tokes on the vapcap just to keep the edge ON).
Question: recommended budget bud (preferably sativa but am not fussy if the bud is cheap and cheerful)?
Cheers

I'll have some budget Buds available on 28th January, although I've already had reservations for over 60% of it so I doubt it'll be around for long.
Amnesia Flash - Budget Buds - $99 for 20g.

Radar bleeder grade B donβt let put you off as itβs decent smoke and he is honest about it.
At at the price you canβt complain
Green cat usually has shake thatβs mostly small buds Jimmy_bison did a topic on it that I read today.
Pistach also has some decent prices at the moment
Depending on how much your looking for the gentleman dealers have dead on Oz

I had his last batch and can honestly say that Iβve had worse premo from here.
For the price the quality far outweighs it.
Forgot to add that his budget was that good Iβve been saving the pennies for a try at his high end stuff

Hi Dazzler
A friend of mine who had quit tobacco years ago intriduced me to the dynavap in 2018.
I did quit tobacco in 2009 but had a relapse in 2013 to 2018.
I had been using Honeyrose herbal mix which is absolutely disgusting and makes you cough your lungs out.
There were times when I could get my hands on some proper afghan hash which I could then eat but Dynavap is amazing.
A friend bought me one of those USB powered vaping devices but it was a real pain to use and would need recharging al the time.
The dyna you can take out in your pocket for commando type smoking operations :-)

I'll suggest one I don't think has been mentioned, Ukbudbros has had some decent bang for buck. Not saying best quality, but certainly no complaints.
Totally depends what price you're wanting to pay, GeneticsHub has had some cracking UK aswell & if I remember correctly they're getting more at some point. But it would probably come at more the higher end of "budget" π€·ββοΈ

As no ones mentioned Canadian Imports, they do cheap quailty small buds, Birthday Cake is around Β£50-55 a Q at the moment and they do budget buds occasionally. Always nice stuff for the price and get freebies included! I got a glow in the dark lighter last time π...
Lots of vendors doing shake/trim, DI, radar, pistach, riley, greencat, popeye... Pistach or strainsbury would probable be my choice to start?
The Pontiff of Piff may be worth a punt? $85 for 14g of Northern Lights sounds good to me... But pistachs cali lows are very cheap at the minute, wonder if they're complete dog shit tho. Keep a eye out for the Green Teams promos too... 1g of traditional hash for $7.50 at the moment.

Mushroom Microdose: optimal dose?

Mushroom Microdose: optimal dose?
Hi Biggas
I have been buying 0.3g caps and splitting them in 0.1g for a microdose effect.
I think 0.3g is a bit too much, am after the stealth side of microdosing here: when others cannot tell that you are on shrooms BUT you definitely can ;-)
What do you guys think is the optimal dose?
Cheers

Guides I've read online seems to class anything sub 0.5 as a microdose. Like with everything, how much you take really changes from person to person and what you personally want from it. I microdose between 0.2 and 0.4 depending on the strain. I always start with 0.2 - 0.3 and see how I react. I can then always increase my dose should I need to π
If 0.1g works for you then there's no point changing it
If 0.1g works for you then there's no point changing it

Agreed, the strain does make quite a difference. I usually microdose with Golden Teachers and find that 0.25g is about right for me. I then got some APE Reverts from SOTL and 0.25g of those was a bit too much, almost felt like a threshold dose tbh.

Hi OldManEd
Thanks for sharing, this is what I am looking for i.e staying under the threshold dose.

Hi bro, I'm offering a $5 3.5 of golden teachers to the first 25 orders I receive. Would love to see what you think of them. Enjoy your trip.

For me around the 0.15g mark hits the spot and keeps me in that zone. It feels like I'm walking along the beach on holiday with the sun on my shoulders, if you know what i mean ; )
Hit me up if you want me to send a little sample through!

Hey Family,
We would say 0.3-0.5 is a microdose! You can try our CaliGold Chocolate bars that are 4G per bar and 0.4 per square. Alternatively you can cut the square into 4 pieces and that would make 0.1G each bite :) Try us out and you will not be dissapointed!

Hi fellow Biggas
Whie I am getting by mostly with edible these days my grlfriend is still struggling with bacca as she still smokes weed.
I have been thinking of maybe getting her some THC vape but am totally ignorant about those things - either devices or actual liquid.
What do you guys think?
Any recommended THC vapes and vendors?
Any gotchas and tips in using them? Anything i should be looking for?
On a related note I was reading this article about the dangers of vitamin E acetate in vape products:

Why not try a dry herb vape over liquids,just regular old bud rather than liquids,that's what I do now I have stopped on tobacco,now I've stopped combusting even blunts don't taste nice much more flavour with a dry herb.

I have a dry herb vape but im currently saving for a Mighty i think, mine doesnt have enough of a kick, what are you using?

Hi bow13, I have an airvape legacy pro,I don't thinks it's a heavy hitter(it's my first one)but does me fine as im a total lightweight nowadays,I wanted a mighty but couldn't justify the price so this looked like a good compromise not too cheap but not a bank breaker.

I have my eye on the mighty too but same issue really.
The cost of smoking crisis is hitting hard!

Yeh a wife and 3 kids suck up all my money as soon as it comes in if HMRC doesn't have it in tax and vat first,I'd recommend the legacy pro,tried a volcano once at Barney's coffeeshop but that's too big and not very discreet!

ill have a look at that thanks matey, i also like the volcano but spend a lot of time out in the park, something i can bring along and like you said something a bit more discreet would be nice.

Hi Pukoman

Greetings,
We would like to extend a warm welcome to you. We invite you to explore our store, where you will discover an impressive selection of THC carts, 50/50 carts, distillate carts, and E-liquid.
For optimal enjoyment, we recommend utilizing carts within the voltage range of 2.7 - 3.3 volts. Personally, I find that using a sub ohm tank with the e-liquid and operating it at approximately 28 watts provides a satisfying experience.
When it comes to the carts, it's worth noting that straight distillate carts offer a potent impact, albeit with effects that may diminish more swiftly compared to the 50/50 carts.
Finally, allow us to emphasize that our e-liquid delivers an incredibly mellow experience.
Should you have any further inquiries or require assistance, our friendly team is readily available to assist you. We look forward to serving you soon.
Best regards,
GVC

Nice and easy to try out.
All you need is a 510 battery and a THC Vape Cart
You won't find any Vitamin E or any none-sense on LB, the community here does well to review all of the vendors products.
I would recommend a Live Resin and Distillate cart (any ratio). Nice flavour and plenty of potency.
Lots of options and vendors here.
This would be my recommendation for a nice intro. And happy to send a 510 battery for free as a starter for you.

Id say get a reasonably priced battery at first and try some of the 50/50 blends available here, some lovely Resin/THC blends are available from a few vendors but my favourites ive tried so far for value and effectiveness are the 50/50 Shatter/THC ones from The Great Vape Company.

While I do think that the serie is uneven at time, specially comapred to DCs Swamp Things I think Man-Thing with his mnidless ultra-empathic nature is the most interesting of the two.
But then again I am a fan of Steve Gerber's Marvel output :-)

to be fair swamp thing is good too, the Alan Moore comics are right up there with the best, im Marvel over DC too though mostly, i like Batman and Constantine and a handful of others but its Marvel for me mainly for nostalgia reasons at this point i think.

Hey B0W13
Same here, huge bronze age fan :-)
I do have the complete Bronze Age Swamp Thing Best of waiting to be read on my shelf too, even before Moore it was probaby the best 70s horror comic with Gene Colan's Dracula (the fight with Harker in #32 is a classic)

Hey Family,
You are in the right place! Do check out our potent RR LiveResin+Liquid Diamond Carts that you can buy with reusable battery to save for next time. Most of our carts come with 80-92% THC Live Resin! Tasty , less smell and more high ! We also have Shatter/Wax that are easy to roll joints with by just mixing it in with fingers, crumbly tasty stuff !

Start with the 50/50 live resin carts there are a number of vendors selling them. You will need to purchase a 510 thread battery to go with it. Search for 510 battery for thick oil on Google.
Or a disposable for convenience. π
Or a disposable for convenience. π

did you get yourself a 510 battery, which one did you get? I have a PASO, very elegant and discreet with 3 voltage settings made for heavy oil, used if with PASO own brand of CBD oil cart but works well with THC live resin and others. they are cheap on amazon, but get better deal if you get it with a CBD cart direct. check on Google PASO CBD.
I have also got a couple of 10/10 boys vapes, very convenient and discreet.

Hi Biggas
I bought a batch of gummy bears from DIUK.
When I told DIUK how much I love these they told me about their stronger gummy worms.
They sent me a free pack!
DIUK you've set the bar that much higer for customer service.
Thank You!

Isn't it great when you get good customer service I'm currently being ignored by a vendor who was happy to take my money but not respond to messages and can't remember if he posted my item in a post box, My 1st dispute coming I think and with over a 100 orders I'm a bit pissed off its got to this but nevermind. So well done drugsinc it's not hard is it.

HI Mattbee
Sorry to hear about your ongoing issues.
As we were saying with pollypuff, dazzler and others lately LB is choke-full of stellar vendors.
I'm the kind of person who quickly gives up on an argument and moves on somewhere else but it's always a bummer to waste both cash and time.
Most importantly the feedback system makes it impossible for a bad vendor to survive for too long.
While there are sometimes genuine issues doing business on LB any vendor willingly engaging in bad behaviour is invariably doomed.

Yeah seems there's some vendors on here playing games sort the people out who leave write ups get the reviews in then start ripping people off. Not good, just a shame the great growers on here don't always have products available.

Ohhh Matt, whoβs done a dirty mate π
And great call our duke, only had good experience with diuk, even with lost package, no drama and resolved professionally and quickly π

I won't mention them just yet but there customer service is shocking. But they seem to be sorting the big names out to get the reviews in then taking the piss, 1st time since I've been here I've had to fuck about so much over an order I'm just glad it weren't a big one.

Fair play mate, hopefully they get back to you asap and itβs resolved with a pleasant smoke at the end of it for you. π€

Haha, you know π€£ I got sorted in the end but had to mess about and was looking at putting in my 1st dispute after being here for years. But all good in the end.

Glad it was sorted βΊοΈ it's a pain when you get a jackanory of the vendor but at least ya got there π

NDD vs SD vs 1st Class RM

NDD vs SD vs 1st Class RM
Hi Biggas
I found out about LB in Feb this year and have finaly joined for pretty much the same reasons as everyone else here.
I've only placed two orders so far but am on a steep learning curve here.
My first order turned up the next day and was an RM Special Delivery. Nice :-)
My second one still hasn't arrived and was a first class RM :-(
I have seen people (and have a friend who orders on the dark web) saying that first class is best to avoid seizure.
So my question is: is it safer to order using regular first class RM? Does Special and Next Day deliveries get looked into more?
Obviously it is easier for first class items to "go missing" as these aren't tracked but what I am mostly interested in is stealth here.
Any insight offered/experience much welcome!
Thanks

Iβm pushing 100 orders on here and my advice would be: order small & with reliable stealth (preferably boxed) and seizure is not a risk worth worth worrying about. Itβs a zero sum game for RM to get involved, nothing but a pain in the arse. They do it when they handle large stinky packages that generally offer them no option.
So that said, in terms of seizure risk I donβt think type of delivery makes any difference. Buy tracked so you can confirm itβs been sent, simple as that for me.
Like others, Iβve only ever had non tracked packages go missing. Iβm convinced thatβs because they were never sent.

Having sent over 2000+ 1st class large letters in the past 3 years, and only 3 not turning up (one of which the customer openly admitted was likely stolen from a communal post area), I can be 99% sure in your summation that your packages were never sent in the first place.
Reputable vendors using 1st Class are just as reliable as any other method.
Trust the vendor's reputation. Simple as that.

Yep. I've only ever had Regular 1st class go missing & like Polly I'm sure the order was never sent. I`ll only order from vendors with tracking now. I just feel it's "safer" for everyone involved.

We are the only vendor on LB who provides in small boxes FREE SPECIAL GUARANTEED NEXT DAY DELIVERY BY 1PM on any item listed on our page , and when we say free we mean free ,no hidden charges or premiums on any of our products regardless of the price of order ,every little helps in this current climate we are in at the moment , JJ and DGT

Thanks to all who replied you guys are amazing.
I will definitey check DGT and Riley_packs items :-)
Just received a few more things today - one more super stealthy half Oz from Greentech and a couple of Jiffy bags (Isaan Thai weed! THC dinosaur jellies!).
I had to try those other vendors using juffy bags but I would definitely lean towards the stealthiest vendors in the future.
I'm going to have a hell of a weekend guys π€©

As long as the stealth is sublime, 1st class is fine.
It might get delayed, but it will show.
Speaking from 5 years experience and for sure over 20,000 parcels.
Never had a UK seizure, touch wood. :)

Some vendors on here saying they use NDD when in actual fact theyβre not or the package has not been sent at all. G6 and Canadian Imports from personal experience always land next day as well as Dr Green thumb. Iβm going to stick with trusted vendors on here from now on. Been messed about with postage far too often recently and comms and prompt postage are two of the most important things to me. Once you find out a vendor has lied to you then I am pretty hesitant to use them again unfortunately.

Hi Johndory
Agreed although with all the RM strikes as of late (plus the forthcoming Feb strikes) relying on first class is akin to flipping a coin.
Looking at the amount of disputes and frustrated biggas as of late I feel vindicated in looking for NDD/Tracked/Special whenever possible.
I found this a sad state of affair because some solid vendors end up being blamed for what is a predictable strike induced disruption, those vendors already have enough of a bad time with fake reviews tanking their feedback scores, they don't need to take the blame for losses and delays caused by the strikes.

Hi Duke there we offer both services Special delivery which will get there next day before 1pm and also for the smaller packages people still like 1st class even though it has been a nightmare of late it seems to be in the back to some form of normality
Welcome btw and happy shopping ;)..
Stay Blessed

You're actually the only buyer I've ordered items from using first class.
That is because you have such a wide range including some of the edibles and landrace I'm after
I'll be back soon, just had some well documented crypto exchange woes and am waiting for my etoro wallet to become live.
Keep those little bears in stock ;-)

The greatest British guitar player ever has sadly passed away.
I learned to play electric guitar with his Yardbirds albums.

As a solo artist, Truth, Beck-ola are standouts. (In hindsight, he even gave Rod credibility!) By all accounts Jimmy Page was jealously snooping on the sessions... we can hear the influence on Led Zep 1.
Blow by blow defined jazz funk and what was possible after Hendrix... the otherworldly sounds on 'Cause we've ended as lovers still astound. (Who needs a plectrum, anyway?)
Sad I'll never see him live again.

Hi Snowy
Jimmy Page...the guy who started the New Yardbirds before renaming the band Led Zeppelin :-)
Seriously I love Jimmy too - my favourite Yardbirds songs are the dual sonic assault of Beck & Page on "Psycho Daisies" / "Happening Ten Years Time Ago" ( a song arguably ten years ahead of its time) and the astonishing "Stroll On".
But Beck was the best UK rock guitar player ever. What he did with feedback predates Hendrix, Jimi himself said it.
In my opinion - and I've played Fender Strats for a long time - he is the only one who advanced the Strat post-Jimi.
I only ever saw him once at the 2005 Patti Smith meltdown in London :-(
I will miss the guy big time.

Coinbase Issue - Moving On...

Coinbase Issue - Moving On...
Hi Biggas
Coinbase just banned my Visa Debit Card.
Had an email from them just after logging in and trying to buy some BCs as I've been doing for the last 3 months.
They had me on wait for 20 mins they said. After 60 mins I tried to open a Bitpanda account but their verify process is failry pathetic as it will only work on recent smartphones (otherwise you get a picture too blurry error).
Moved onto bittylicious now which others have recommended here, am waiting on their verification process to succeed, from the questions they asked I suspect they run their customer applications through credit check agency like Experian...
Anyone else having a bit of a rough sailing right now with exchanges?

I transfer via bank to coinbase and have not had any issues in over 12 months. Using cards is great for protection against fraud but sometimes itβs gets in the way.

Hi dmonk
Thanks but they've removed my previous payment method and when I try to add a new one they only let me try with a card (which they then reject).
I started to suspect that my bank is the root cause (but I won't ask them not to get flagged!).
I found this article dated 16 Nov 2022:

Yeah there are couple of banks mentioned on here. It is a pain and honestly I donβt see how they can get away with it as itβs not illegal to invest in crypto. I use coop bank and that is fine. Another option is to open another account with another bank as a savings account and transfer via that.

Thanks dmonk
I'll just wait a couple of months for etoro to let me transfer the BCs to their wallet.
If that fails I'll try revolut.

Thanks I might give them a shot.
I've gone through the main ones and still haven't solved this.

Revolut basically holds your money that you transfer into their account, from there it's down to revolut how you spend it so you shouldn't have any issues as crypto purchases are available within their app, just higher fees than coinbase to purchase bitcoin, I think I only needed to upload a selfie aswell I don't remember providing ID to them

Hi ReefLostCause
Thank I appreciate the helpful advice.
I have tried revolut but my smartphone is too old so am going to have to upgrade either way.
Have opened an eToro account because I figured if my bank blocks the card then I might stick to the one exchange which is fully FCA approved.
I could transfer using my card twice but there is a 60 day delay before you can transfer the BCs into the eToro wallet (for which I will need a recent smartphone too).
Just what I wanted to avoid, a complicated trading site and a new smartphone.
I wouldn't wish that to happen to any Bigga which is why I have been documenting my week extensively.

Just do a transfer on Bittylicious instead of using your card. You'll save money as you get a better rate & no minimum order value too. List of banks that you cannot use to do a transfer in the link

Hi DanishBacon
Have just done that and opened a bittylicious account.
I don't mind the old skool interface at all - as long as I can carry on.
And thank you guys for being there to help!

For the last three months have you been sending to same wallet address or different every time?
I always send to my own wallet first.
you can buy btc without id but the interest is horrid.
I know a 'decent' place that'll let you on board, though id check is required i'm sure too.

Hey thanks BBDoom
The worst part is I don't give a toss about uploading ID but even that is a struggle - Bitpanda just wouldn't OK my passport scan with my obsolete Lenovo phone.
Was always an open source/freeware proponent so I hate it when providers try to lock you into a pattern of upgrading for the sake of it - it just add to the waste and pollution.
Waiting on Bittylicious to agree to take my cash now :-(

But most importantly yes: I did use the account for the last 3 months over half a dozen account max.
Have been trying to second guess their AIs but that's a tough one to crack :-_

I can put you onto a site without id check but very high interest rates.
click 'buy crypto' on top of page tab.
You can get yourself outta a jam if you need a smoke.

Send the btc to your own wallet before sending here.
download a wallet if you dont have one..

Hi BBDoom
So I tried that thinking I can send straight to my Coinbase wallet but the simplex partner site clearly stated that my bank provider rejected the purchase.
So now I'm 100% sure it's my UK Bank blocking crypto purchases with my card (except for etoro who obviously is FCA endorsed).

Hi BBDoom

Right now I'm not in a rush. I have been stashing up just in case :-)
A bit of a pain although I know it is just a case of switching and putting in the time and effort to obtain a new BC exchange account.
Keep on Keepin' On

Hey BBDoom
At 10:30 this morning bittylicious finally OKed my ID.
I've been waiting until coming home from work to get back on LB and such.
I cannot see an obvious way to purchase BCs straight from my bank account so now am setting up a (web) wallet with blockchain.com.
What a PITA.
Is is me or is it a coincidence that coinbase started turning down perfectly valid payment methods at the time when bitcoin is getting a pummeling?

Guys
Am I missing something here?
Bittylicious shows no way of purchasing BCs from a bank account so I went for a blockchain.com wallet.
Now that I have created a blockchain account it looks as if I can purchase BCs directly from blockchain.com does not matter if I add my debit card or link to my bank account nothing works.
WTF?

Fucking Coinbase now switched to email contact only - unless I cannot find the live chat anymore (it was there last night I waited an hour for what was supposed to be 20 mins and gave up) in which case they made sure it was much harder to find.
That is starting to ring many bells, they deserve to be reported to the FCA at this stage, not that I would to it.

Day 2 - have opened a Kraken account now and attempt to xfer from bank account "failed".
I need to step back and process.
In the meantime I am pondering the pros vs cons of having a wallet...

Hey Biggas
As I said above I am now 100% sure that my bank is blocking purchases from exchanges using my card.
Live and learn
The ONLY site which is working with my card is eToro which incidentally is the only full FCA endorsed site I know of.
Now all I get is a new smartphone to be able to download their wallet app AND wait 60 days before they let me transfer my BCs into the wallet.
Good thing I stashed up like most wise biggas around here but I'll barely make it to mid-January PLUS no edibles for my Xmas holidays.

Hi Biggas
Just bought some Greencat shake following the glowing reviews.
I wanted to ask you guys which sellers offer high quality shake in your experience?
Also which seller offers the best value for money shake (as prices fluctuate widely and these are trying times π°πΈ)?
Thanks!

Drugs inc UK has the best shake and you can choose either indica, sativa or hybrid which is amazing!!

Thanks Mrcaa_420
I already use DIUK for landrace and edibles so I'll check out their shake offers.

Literally have 2 Oz made up of a bit of each, I forgot which is which but the one that smells like kush and stardawg is Hella strong and pound for pound I don't think there's much that can compete in terms of amount of high for the money, and it's not all leaf like the majority of shake on here you can actually taste skunk if you're smoking it it's not like inhaling a bonfire π
