allthingsdecentral.com warning / heads up

[ChiBitCTy]

It's 100% on allthingsdecentral.com  It's a business (they get paid) and if you can't properly communicate with your paying customers in a timely fashion then you're a piss poor company and deserve to fail.  They are clearly screwing people over as multiple people have shared.  I will never do business with them again.

I don't disagree with your feelings.  I only wanted to clarify your complaint a bit with the likely scenario from my experience.  Being angry with their communication or ability to verify shipments of 3rd party items is definitely a legitimate complaint.  My wording shouldn't have been that they aren't responsible.  I didn't mean they wouldn't be financially responsible, I meant that they were likely not the direct cause for the items not being shipped and it was probably the failure of one of their 3rd party sellers.

I gotcha. I definitely took that part from it too and agree with the above.  I understand communication and stock issues when you're a 3rd party vendor but you've got to be diligent about notify customers and setting expectations and making sure all items add up to your final checkout price. I don't care to wait at all personally if you're out of stock or whatever.  A couple people here use them to sell their items and that's fantastic.  I want to support them..but they unfortunately can't be trusted.

My overall experience was not great.
Having bought a bunch of stuff in the sale, I still ended up paying waaay over the odds for all items ordered. Compounded by the customs charges I received as many of the items were sent individually.
Turns out, if I had bought all the goods direct from the makers I would have saved my self $100's.

C'est la vie

Items were dispatched directly from makers, or allthingsdecentral just sent them individually ? Site acts as items listing & payment handling, without having any inventory?

It depends on the item.  When I first started selling my Bitcoin Binary Rounds through the site, I would get all orders and send them out individually (with the retailer getting a %, so of course it is cheaper to buy direct from makers unless they are offering bulk discounts to the retailer).  When it became clear that the items were selling a lot and communications/transfers were getting out of hand, they started placing large orders to hold an inventory and send items directly to buyers from their warehouse.

While they probably should do a better job of alerting customers if their items are being sent from a 3rd party, I'm not sure if allthingsdecentral is directly responsible for any missing or delayed shipments.  It is more likely that their suppliers/makers are slacking.  They do A LOT of business, so I can say with near certainty it isn't a case of someone setting up a scam website.  More likely, it's that they are overwhelmed with orders and having problems communicating with their 3rd party suppliers/makers.

It's 100% on allthingsdecentral.com  It's a business (they get paid) and if you can't properly communicate with your paying customers in a timely fashion then you're a piss poor company and deserve to fail.  They are clearly screwing people over as multiple people have shared.  I will never do business with them again.

Interesting to see all of this....I know that someone from there reached out a few weeks ago in regards to reordering some Crypto Greeting Cards, but then I never heard back. With these complaints, I will need to re-evaluate if CG should allow them to be a wholesale customer.
