I have been wanting to order all Summer but, given the absence of any solid encouraging news, I go with Liza since their product seems very similar to me.

I mean, you can e-mail him and see what happens.

I try to stay with facts here and avoid speculation. The fact is his strain menu has remained unchanged for a number of months now. So how do you know what to order?

I ask Ben, ( or other members who recommend something) He knows what I'd order but I've been ordering for 2 years.. there's a long line right now, a lot of vendors have other gigs and don't work a regular schedule ( like Meridian) I don't wanna speculate either I just make payment and wait like anyone else, to answer the question the newest batch ive received lately was some 5/20 batches but, Ive waited for 2 weeks since I've paid..I ain't worried about it, it'll come one day. Hope this helps...

I paid for my order over a month ago and the tracking still hasn't updated. They contacted me just over a week ago and said the tracking would update on the following day, a Friday, but then nothing, and now they won't answer my emails. That being said, they have amazing leaf, some of the best, especially for reds, and I'll likely order from them again lol.

My god you are a patient man :shock:
I love sosa leaf just about more than anybody else. But over a month and not answering any emails? Sheesh i need to learn your kinda patients. I guess with Bens leaf quality and consistency it makes it worth it even if it showed up 3 months late with no communication :mrgreen:

Trust me, it hasn't been easy recently, especially when they email me telling it will be on its way the next day, and then nothing. But yes, it will be worth it once it gets here, problem is I ordered about a month ahead of when I was going to need it thinking I was being slick lol. Well, that backfired. Guess I'll do 2-3 months in advance next time :|

This all has me thinking how lucky we are to still have some 'small batch vendors' because my experience with the bigger vendors has been dismal and expensive (the first bag of bunk I got was from Kats). And I suppose the only way to keep these vendors is to support them. All the same, I would NOT wait over a month for an order to be fulfilled (and I am not criticizing anyone who would).

It isn't easy for the small batch vendors. Like all small business people they have to get creative. But, as others have noted, not communicating with your buyers is bad form. I do a bit of selling on ebay and I can say with 100% certainty that communication is prized by buyers. It makes all of the difference.

Idk. Maybe we should all just stop ordering from SOSA and see what happens? My sixth sense tells me things are probably going to go the way of Speciosa Life, which is a shame. Like RumRunner said "The fact is his strain menu has remained unchanged for a number of months now. So how do you know what to order?" The same partial menu since February. :?

Yeah I hear ya, but I don't know what else I can do at this time besides wait. If I try to cancel the payment that can be a serious pain in the ass, plus I lose the order which I'd rather get since I've already waited this long. I think you're right, if we all stop ordering it might at least get their attention, and maybe they'll read some of their damn emails lol. I'm hoping they just don't realize my order hasn't gone out yet, cause if they're purposely doing this, then I think it's time to call it quits with SOSA. Still they've never done anything like this before Ben's illness and then the pandemic, so I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to hold that train of thought.
