Why online for this kind've stuff?

I mean I know that going to a store entails your presence and all, but wouldn't buying online link you identity-wise to a purachase, where-as having a mate drive you and proceed to an alternative location from there in the event (not too big a percentage I'd say) that places were actually being watched, well, wouldn't that be less likely to tag you?

Is it a product range thing?

im to paranoid about going into hydroponic stores as police can just walk up to you and u will have to provide all your information including photo ID or they run u down to the police station than your pretty much fucked where as ordering online u can use any name u like u can use a mates address you can pay with a money order you never get seen entering/leaving a hydroponic store plus online prices these days are either the same or cheaper on half the products and ive found with shops like Discount Hydroponic Supplys they have a shit load of products i havent even seen in hydroponic shops

I see you live in Sydney Cheeba. Try living in NthQld and the prices are thru the fucking roof!! Apart from that I live in whats considered to be the capital of NQ and theres only 1 hydro shop in town - and he's .... lets just say that apart from his excessive prices a few years ago the DIRTY FUCKING COPPERS raided his shop and siezed his books and proceded to raid just about everyone in it!!!!

That being said ... Its actually more discreet to use a supplier i know will wrap discreetly, stumble down the street to anonymously deposit into his ANZ bank acc , and, once again, have it anonymously delivered by courier.

But honestly, at the end of the day, in some cases I get up to a 100% mark up local!!! and sum stuff you just gotta get thru the hydro shops.

Me, I'm doing bits n peices.

A light bought online was all, different bank details, name and address...the rest will be more than likely thrown together out of alternatives, various gardening stores, and yknow, bunnings or some shit.

It all depends u could purchase using direct deposit via a proxy and then get it sent to a clean address.

 

Hydro shops are somtimes watched, so u could be exposing yourself even more by going to a shop in person.

 

It really boils down to what suits u best.

 

Cheers

Wow.. I didnt mean to spark up a heap of views re:online versus personal shopper..

 

 

The truth of the matter is .. it really doesnt matter if ya gear is wrapped in black plastic , or sent to a bogus name .. the fkng vendor name , i.e. Aussieponics or whatever , is written on the cartnote, so any storeman , despatcher, driver , whatever , .can see who u are buying from .

 

Dics Hydro Sup are easily the best I have personally dealt with ,. as they do not use their trading name on packaging etc..

 

.. but srsly fellas.. in this day n age, its sooo easy to trace a name , a card , a purchase , an identity , that its really not worth worrying about .. it'll kill ya if ya do ! .. just keep a daily check on ya bank details/transactions & contact ya bank IF something suss happens..

 

.. or grow a nice fat ulcer

 

 

btw, if u DO use Aussieponics,, ffs , they have a 'comment' edit appear when u order,, just demand for blank packing/boxing.. its worked for me..

.. the thing I hate about these guys is the fact u recieve NO despatch/delivery details..http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Discount-Hydroponic-Supplies look after u all the way

Thats right but if they really wana get ya - theyll get ya.

I just worry bout the old fella next door... mostly

i can add, Aussieponics are fucked! they have no after sales support at all. i bought that 400 w digi ballast and did my money because the fucker doesn't work with MH lights. i was going to start a post about aussieponics but some clever chap beat me to it. i tried contacting them through all methods shown on their website but nothing worked, email backfired from my 3 different accounts, no number, no online support as it says and my last resort was ebay. problem is you can't get shit cheaper from anywhere else? i haven't heard back from them and their slogan is 'great aussie service'. it should truthfully read 'no Service available'. pricks.

Hello garry,

 

I am really sorry about that. Our mail server had problems to receive mails over past couple of weeks, and your previous mails might be lost.

We`d like to give you replacements for the damaged filter and/or grow tent, if you can send them back to us.

our address is:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, and please use our courier (TNT account XXXXXXX) for a free return.

 

I will defintely goto the forum you gave to me and see our feedback to improve our service and products. Thanks for letting me know that. (we can do discrete package on request, just let me know next time, since some people want the growlush label to be displayed on the box)

 

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Bloody amazing Gaz!!!

Goodthing hiding his address considering!

I hope it all works out as another shop mentioned here made similar promises to me and i had to ride em and ride em and ride em to get anything done. As Yeilds said - it sounds like they're guna fix it. Yet they wont fix Bullseyes ballast? Dont make sense....

One thing -who would want Growlush displayed on the box?! I mean - honestly?!!!
