I've thought a lot about posting this and while it is a rant; I feel I have a responsibility to warn others.
I know a lot of people have successfully ordered from N from A. But I also know there are a few of us who have a less than satisfactory experience.
I wanted to post this separately because no one is going to read through the entire Megathread. Most only want the email address but this is something potential buyers should be aware of.
I ordered my N 3 months ago and it still hasn't been sent.
Not arrived *sent*.
I understand that A is the only trusted supplier and for that reason is incredibly busy.
I also understand that A was out of commission for a short period of time last Autumn.
My order was placed before that period. He had stated he would send me the tracking number after the package had been dispatched. I never received confirmation but couldn't chase it up because by then A had taken leave. It was just over a month before I could enquire.
It took another month of me continuously having to email A for an update because I kept being told he was "looking into it" but he would never come back to me.
Please note, I would wait for a week for a reply which I thought was more than enough time.
When I finally got a reply, he gave me two tracking numbers stating one of them was mine.
Three weeks after postage, I was able to view the destination of the packages via the tracking number.
I was not pleased with what I saw. I emailed A again to say neither of these packages are heading my way, they are going to different cities. He assured me that one of them was mine, as they were the only parcels posted that day, heading to my country.
A week after that, both packages were delivered but none to me. Just as I suspected, they were someone else's order.
After the mix up, of it not being dispatched to begin with and it being over a month since payment, I would have thought that A would have made sure my order was dispatched.
Instead, I was given 2 random tracking numbers.
Of which, I now have details of where those particular packages are, as I'm sure the postal company does too.
I was in contact with a member here (let's call them S) who paid around the same time I did. Member S how now passed.
Member S never received their package. Apparently, it was intercepted by customs but I'm not entirely sure. Member S had to chase for confirmation of dispatch and was given 5 tracking numbers and told one of them was theirs.
Member S also paid for the private courier option.
Here's the interesting part.
If you got the introduction email then you know that the private courier option does not come with a tracking number for security reasons.
According to the email, once customers are given the tracking number, the package is seized. But Member S was given 5 tracking numbers!
I can't say whether Member S's package was actually seized or whether it was someone's else's order. Member S was so distressed at the time, I don't think they would have had the energy to do a full enquiry.
It's one thing to order and have your package intercepted by Customs. It's an entirely different matter to not have it dispatched at all.
I don't know what is going on and it's not like any of us is in a position to enquire.
What I do know is there is a number of us who have paid and never had our order dispatched.

There is also a lack of security.
A lot of people jump through hoops to buy N and cover their tracks. It seems pointless though, if tracking numbers are given out willy nilly and not even to the specific buyer. It only takes a phone call and those addresses could be compromised.
Update (3 weeks ago):
Have received reply from A stating package may have been detained by customs. But without a tracking number I have no way to confirm that.
I basically have to go on blind faith it was posted.
I was told he had several more tracking numbers to go through but I said that he already tried that (just before he gave me the two tracking numbers) and was unsuccessful. He agreed to scratch that idea and send a "free" order.
I don't like that term "free" because I'm not entirely sure my first paid for order was sent.
Further update:
My order was supposed to be dispatched on the 5th January but then A emailed again to ask for my details, which I had already provided several times in the same email.
If only he had bothered to scroll down to look. This is something I've noticed, the need to keep asking questions I've already answered and basically stalling for time.
So, because of that my package was supposedly dispatched on the 12th (but it was never confirmed). I was informed that he would pass me the tracking number on the following Thursday because that's when he'll receive it.
So far nothing.
I have emailed him to enquire what the tracking number is but I've yet to receive a reply.
From what I've been told he hands the bottles and address to a courier and the courier is supposed to send your order. Then he gets a list of tracking numbers.
He's not sure whether the courier is sending orders to customers or what.
WTF
I think is pretty shocking that you have an employee working for you and you don't know what they're doing with orders?!
He doesn't seem to be phased at all to admit that.
You can't be taking people's money and be unsure orders are actually being shipped.
What kind of business practice is that?
It may not be him stealing but he's responsible for his staff and their actions. So, the fault lies with him and it's his duty to fix it. And the solution is… to use the same method as before and hope it's posted this time.
You know the definition of madness, right?
In conclusion:
Take from it what you will.
Like I said, I might be in a minority here, of people who have had problems with purchases. I don't like feeling I've been ripped off, so I'm more proactive in chasing up.
Not everyone feels that way.
There may be other members here who have purchased, never received anything but also never enquired and just kept quiet about the whole ordeal.
I know a lot of people will defend him because he's the only supplier. But it's a lot different when orders are paid for and not being shipped.
I'm not overly comfortable in the way A is endorsed as being a reliable seller by people who have never purchased from him or don't intend to.
He may have a well been reliable once but having a monopoly on the market and more orders can drastically change things.
Potential buyers PLEASE be aware and cautious, if you decide to go ahead with a purchase.
It's a lot of money to hand over and get nothing in return.
