I feel exactly the same man. That's a big reason why I grow my own now. In roughly 10 years of being a smoker I must've tried 30 different dealers across different towns (not even including when I used to buy from LB/other online marketplaces) and I've only kept 3 of them on my contact list. Most dealers are either late, have "meh" quality weed, underweigh it, charge too much or are dodgy as hell. I haven't bought from LB in a year plus but it was a mixed bag when I did, it's been about a 50/50 mix of being happy with my order and being pissed off for one reason or another.... I'm just rambling now but the weed market in the UK is shambolic... when you've got a good dealer/vendor, stick by them because they'll truly appreciate your custom. Without customers, there's no business in the first place!

Problem is Goose72 . There's new vendors who show up on here all the time it seems 🤔. Some are genuine starting off. But some or most just rip you off( Street dealers) . LB. Seems to be a lottery nowadays unfortunately 😕. Stick with the trusted long term vendors. Then you can't go wrong 😉👍.

It's always a risk and a gamble ordering off LB you learn that on the way, like you said jayboy my biggest advise is find a vendor you can trust and stick with them.

Be very selective in who you give your money to, as you hopefully would anywhere. I've had over 200 orders, and my 1 and only dispute was when I'd had about 40 orders and I was given a full refund by algorithmic resolution. The worst bud I've had has been alright instead of great. People are still complaining about issues with a seller that a quick glance over the topics made me never buy off when I initially signed up as this stuff with deliveries and order substitutions was happening back then.

Reputation and reviews best way to check it if you see something you like just wait for others to take the bait

Only real way to know I guess

I've seen fake hash get 10/10 reviews .
Reviews and reputation can't be trusted either .

TBH I haven't had too many bad experiences Ive had the odd bad quality batch but as someone who has attempted to grow in the past I get that sometimes shit happens so I never really mark down, just give an honest comment on the quality in the comments.

The only issue I have is with some vendors post times some take a few days while my go to vendors seem to do next day but that could just be post routes and where the package is coming from so again i never mark anyone down if it takes a few days.

The space men and Pistach have literally got me stuff in 24hrs so use those guys regularly for convenience sake. The only over problem I had was that over the holidays someone had cancelled my order for whatever reason but i went through the refund borg and got my money back.

Did you get a response in the end, I’m also waiting at the moment

It really is killing it, 30 quid is a joke, was trying to grab something thats been in my cart for about 5 days, im pretty much going without it at this rate, no way i can pay 30 quid just to spend my own money.

I really thought my first Christmas on LB would be legendary, its not going to be.

What are you trying to buy B0W?

Hey Polly, so i have a couple of bits of flower on order from The Spacemen, Q of a nice treat and a half of a better value option, ive been juggling them as long as possible to try figure out which one to pay for and which to cancel, at these prices its cancel both 🤦🏻‍♂️
Im going to try again in the early hours🤞🏻

Had to empty my cart too my man can’t justify spending almost a Q in fees 😕

Its not the way i like to empty my bag!

Ouch!…hope you get sorted and don’t go short over the festive season mate🤞🏼

Thank you, keep those fingers crossed, fees down a little 🤞🏻

Feel you mate local plug for goose this year 😩

Yep, I just bought some shake for £60 and had to pay £30 in network fees (50%!!!). Something needs to be done asap as people will start looking elsewhere. This should've been sorted already tbh the fees aren't going anywhere...

Yeah I am already trying to medicate, already on a very low income... I think I have now been priced out of LB completely. I can barely scrape together the bit that I can as it is, so thats me out I think!!

No way you just paid the £30 fee for shake 🫣

Needed shake, it's a brand new batch and £90 in total for the oz is still somewhat reasonable. Still the network fees are avoidable and unexcusable at this point.

Hi frogman420..I myself did a $90 order this morning.( Not for shake).using Bittylicious
Cost was £73.48. With fees jumped up to £93.67
So £20 is quite a jump. Considering normally pay £5 fees at the most..crazy atm 🥴🥴😕

Yes it needs sorting im done with this site until it changes its so frustrating, everyone is losing money left right and center, enough is enough just before christmas to. No one buying anything for a month or two, they will change the then.

Hey Guys,
So yeah I agree the fees are getting ridiculous and I about had a stroke when I had to add currency twice just to pay the fees. So i started using a wallet that tells you the fees upfront which is still crap but at least i know the damage before hand.

I don't mind paying some fees and mine only ended up being $20 thereabouts. A month or two ago I think for the same amount it was only $10 so yeah LB needs to allow us the use of less popular crypto before everyone rages and destroys things...well ok maybe that was just me lol

Merry Xmas guys and hopefully we got some kind of resolution!

I was just about to order some hash for Xmas from Green Avenger Weed and had to cancel the order due to the insane fees Bittylicious are charging! Wtf is going on, it's completely unreasonable, and fucking over the buyer and seller retrospectively. We as buyers will be priced out on LB, certainly not paying a Q in fees! I've always used LB, and generally pay maybe £5 - £6 in fees which i can justify, but not these extortionate rates, they can fuck right off. If this continues, it's going to be bad news for the sellers. Local plug it is for Xmas.

I'm running low on the CI 🦄 piss. Don't want to pay that many fees but not many other options open to me.

Had to stock up on Unicorn 🦄 Piss myself!🔥🤩

The more festive Reindeer Piss still a pipedream eh? 🦌

😂🎅😂

Wow was £15 most of last week - now looks like £30 is the new ‘fee’ - that is fucking ludicrous. Cancelled all my Christmas orders. Looks like I’m going old school scoring this year 😡😡😡

Yeah it’s really shitty. Wanted to get an order in for a couple ounces total but spilt over 4 vendors. No way I’m laying out 120 in fees. I’ll use cityofcanna in the meantime.

Can ask what City of canna is my dude?

Alternative site. Normally very expensive compared to LB but as you can pay in ££ doesn’t seem so bad when crypto is crippling 😖

Yeah. Wasn’t sure if it was ok to mention here. It is a little pricey and I tend to stick with LB but with these fees it’s meh at the moment. Going to bite the bullet with some hash today from here though… Will just have to get a decent chunk to make it seem worthwhile 😂

Thank you my friend!! I have always wondered, what I would do if LB went down... I don't really have a local plug!! I am a 41year old disabled woman, stuck at home. I don't even go to the pub... you know, so I can ask dogdy Dennis, who's always half baked and sits in the corner by the loos!! 🤣😂

Is it!? I didn’t know this. Thank you. You’re sure? 😂👌🏻

I'm trying to order at the moment but there's no way I'm paying £30 in fees.

fees are killer mate. The site really needs an alternative coin quick!!

Can anyone explain to me WTF is going on? The fees are insane right now.

Traffic on the blockchain due to volatility- miners set their own fees and we are hostage to it….

Great if XRP or XLM can be used

Yeah i agree, it’s honestly ridiculous, i was trying to make a purchase of $135 over the weekend and had a £45 network fee 😫🤯

Luckily this morning it had calmed down a bit and i paid £14 network fee, but still having to wait and check network fees every 10 until they calmed down was not very fun and there needs to be a better alternative for when the fees are fucked like this.

Getting annoying now as today (18th) is probs about the last day to order if you want it definitely guaranteed before xmas, although I haven't noticed my post slowing down yet tbh.

The fees had been going down since last night, where half as much this morning as yesterday thought holding out a little longer would see them come down some more but nope ofcourse not they've gone right back up even higher! If you catch any sort of break biggas just take it while you can!

Good luck everyone <3

Try in the early hours when the Americans are asleep it will be better.

Glad im not the only one outraged. Grabbed half blue cheese half shake and a vape and had to pay 30 in network fees which is beyond a joke. Came to 38 in total with coinbase fees buying coins/ sending.

Paid the same in nov but was only buying shake so could allow it but it’s ridiculous. Won’t use LB again till it’s lowered and I suggest ppl boycott. Only grabbed off here as im out in the sticks and cars in the garage. Won’t be back till it’s sorted. What a shame..LB was a lifesaver in lockdown

Its not really LB's fault, its a problem with bitcoin.
I use electrum to send BTC - this gives quite a bit of flexibility on how to pay the fee - you get 3 options and a slider.
I paid about £9 today on £200 which cleareed in about 30 mins.
I could have paid about £30 if I had chosen one of the other methods.
Also pays to look at the mempool which tells you the current rates:
https://mempool.space/

this is definitely not LB fault, the fault is with the Bitcoin network itself.

Are they relatively easy to use? I still use coinbase smh

I use coinbase to buy
I then transfer to my electrum 'wallet' on my PC.
I then send from electrum.
Generally not a good idea to pay LB direct from coinbase.

Thanks for letting me know that! Is this because of it being more traceable? Also electrum fees I assume are like everyone elses rn?

The next btc halving is this coming April, i bet that fucks it up even more. We need another coin. im a conspircist. i blame THEM

Yeah man idk wtf I'm going to do, I don't have irl dealers anymore.
Maybe it's time to hit TOR sites...

Has any one tried revolut, really simple to add and send to bct address, I ordered £200 of stuff and only charged me £8 fee in total

Was this today? 18/12/23?

I ordered today mate was charged £29.19 for network fees

I ordered last Thursday

i use revolut and the ability to use the QR code is useful , fees can be OK but they seem to vary however like you I think its very simple , just remember to delete the wallet number that you have transferred to once the order is sorted or you could potentialy send to it again in error.

If you pay 9.99 a month for the revolut plus, you got loads of benefits, including cheap crypto fees, the most I’ve probably paid is £10, that’s buying and sending included

I’m getting changed £100 to send £700 to my Trading account to cash out…. Normally £2 / £3, hopefully it gets sorted sooner than later

I ordered about 4:30 this morning to get the fees down a bit and got roughly £100 order for £23 fees. Still extortionate but a little better than yesterday where it was up to £62 in fees for the same order. It is getting silly now. Good luck everyone.

I made a $480 purchase the other day. My fees were $8.70 . That was with the rabbit speed. Turtle was about $6.80 and lightning was around $24 .

I stupidly didnt know what was going on with the network fees I have now had $200 dollars stuck on the blockchain for over 5 days now.
