SOSA..

Post by **nomo** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 2:58 pm

decided to risk it after seeing others talk about having success ordering right now so i placed a non sampler order last wednesday. monday it finally updated to pre shipment but is still awaiting item as of today, 7 days later. is this semi-normal for him (never ordered from him before) especially with everything going on right now? or should i be getting nervous? (he replied to my order emails and sent invoice all within an hour of messaging him last wednesday)

I wouldn't worry yet, if its in pre-shipment thats a good sign give it 2-3 more days

Post by **zachdank** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:57 pm

Ya i get packs from Sosa on the regs. Trust me it'll get to you. Just a matter of how long it'll take lol

I feel your pain tho. SOSAs reds are so much better than any other vendors ive dealt with (except TFH) so i place my orders knowing it might be a minute before i get um. But they always show up. Sometimes a couple days and sometimes a lot longer

Quality never changes for me tho

I got my order in 10 days and quality was very good!

Put email order in three separate times this week. So far, no response.

I never got a reply when I tried to order a sampler, but got one within a few hours when I put in a request for 1.4 kilos. It took 4 days for that to ship, so not the fastest, but hey, it's worth the wait

This is discouraging. Sorry RumRunner. I keep wanting to put in an order. I started a thread a while back to see how folks were faring (some OK, some not at all.)

One thing seems to be expected: it's gonna take a while. I can deal with that. What I won't accept is sub-par leaf. I would be grateful to hear from the people who have received their orders as to whether they are satisfied with those orders or no. Money is tight right now. SOSA always had VERY good prices AND good leaf at the same time. If he is struggling because he's still offering excellent deals but can't keep up with the orders (which would likely be high).......sigh.

god bless America's small business-person, where if you are damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Also, f*ck the AKA.

Were you trying to order a sampler? He was very quick to respond to my email when I was asking of his business was up and running again but radio silence when I mentioned the 35 dollar sa per both times

Post by **CatfatherB** » Thu Jun 18, 2020 6:22 am

I've ordered twice since he "got better" but I usually always order a kilo from him, it took a minute to ship but yeah, it's still really good kratom..

I ordered Red Indo, Baik Bali, and Green Bone F18 on April 28. He shipped my order out pretty fast. I think it took him less than three days to ship it and as far as the quality of the leaf goes, I didn't have any problems with it.

Damn, you have good taste! I just got the 100g of the Green Bone and Red Indo and love them both. The Baik Bali is a good daytime red, too... man, SOSA has got it going on.

Red Sunda is consistently one of the best/slowest reds ive ever had. Tied with TFH Red Muna. Also got say Sosas Yellow Maeng Da is hands down the best YMD ive had. Multiple batches over the last year were next level fire for me.
That Back Bali sosa puts out is Fire as well.

The 2/20 Red Sumatra knocked me out, as did the Red Sunda that someone else mentioned. I also like the Red Bones and Red Indo. The Green Bones are kind of slow.

awesome i will definitely be trying them out. red muna is one of the only strains i've tried so far from TFH along with super red sunda and WCHR and i loved it. gonna grab some more when the july event opens along with the wild red IR3 to try forsure.

Hey guys day time red suggestion? I see

Fused Flora Red Maeng da is one of the better daytime reds for me. Super potent but not sedating.
Sosas most recent batch of Baik Bali also is a great daytime red.

If you're just asking about SOSA, I'd say his red MD, red Borneo, red Bone and Indo could be taken in the afternoon...

my order finally arrived a few days ago and i DEFINITELY see what the hype is about lol and he responded to my order emails almost instantly so i wouldn't hold off on ordering. the quality is on par with TFH from what i can tell. putting another sosa order in asap to try some of his others.

I agree with you that sosa is easily same quality as TFH. Top 2 vendors as far as quality in my experience

Thank you. I hadn't heard much about him before joining this forum, but now I've got to try some of the strains mentioned.

I guess he's swamped again. I hope he gets back to me before my will breaks and I order from somewhere else!

Plenty of other great vendor recommendations here, to wait on something you've not had is ridiculous, life is short! Check out the "what's everyone burnin'" thread and get a pack headin' your way!

Haha, thanks. That's what I've been doing! BB, MM, FF, STH... I've made at least one order from each already, and I'm waiting on my first from Benni's. I've been busy, thanks to you guys.

I have to at least try the bones at some point, but it'll happen when it happens. I'm ready for the TFH event, too. Most of my original vendors are gone, and you all are a lifesaver.

Still haven't had any luck hearing back from Sosa? I been tryin to put another order in for the last week with no luck either. Im hoping he isn't completely outa stock like the rest of the bomb ass vendors are at the same time as trying to figure out the shipping issue they're all running into now. Got me super bumming lol.

I got a reply a couple days later, saying that he was in the weeds but he could put my order in that afternoon. That was a couple days ago. I'm not sure if that was a mass reply or not. I guess I'll bug him one more time, lol. Stay tuned...

No, he's not out of stock..the last order I got Friday had some 5/20 batches, the site isn't updated and a lot of people are having a hard time trying to contact him but he's not completely out of everything. I was expecting to get more 2/20 WMD but he sent 5/20. I ordered white Borneo but he sent white Malay instead so, WB may be out?
