paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it

a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, not advice obviously

PM

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

JJ

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

SD

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

JJ

ok so invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send

JJ

update from 23 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed

no chargebacks

do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

no escrow here

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message, i have it written down somewhere

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to

option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

VL

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
