first time buying, totally overwhelmed.

1
The title says it all really. I've been looking at togoweed ca, really want to pull trigger, got my scale and everything else, so good on that front.

I want to try online ordering, but I've never tried it online before, so it's totally sketchy to me seeing like a million websites, and then doing research finding a random post here and there from some guys saying they didn't get what they ordered or there was no response...
I'm wondering if interceptions happen often, as I could get screwed that way too.
I would love to grow in the apartment, but I don't know how feasible that is in reality, due to power bills stigmatism ETC

Stuff I am looking at RN is 110/oz which seems like a good price, Just trying to look out for myself.

Advice appreciated.

Hey,

Just wanted to drop a few friendly points that might make this process a bit easier for you.

Ordering from any MOM for the first time can be a bit overwhelming. Let's face it, theres a lot of options out here. Lucky for you, you're in the right place for doing a bit of comparative analysis.

Let's cover a few points..

INTERCEPTIONS:
These don't happen nearly as often as you might think. The majority of MOMs use Canada Post to ship out their orders, unless theres a strike or the like going on. Canada Post has some regulations that pretty much bars them from intercepting a package, unless it's obvious what's inside. This is usually taken care of on the senders side. A good MOM will use smell proof, non-branded packaging to eliminate this problem.

If on the chance your package does get taken or goes missing in one way or another, once again a good MOM will have a policy in place to remedy the issue. These policies typically favour the buyer (you) so we don't burn our reputation by being compliant. not to say there aren't a few bad apples in the bunch, but it's usually pretty easy to spot those.

Another point to remember in this case is that you're not in trouble if a package does get intercepted. If it ends up in authorities hands, they don't care about you as a buyer, they're more interested in the sender. Even then they often don't really care. Better things to worry about I guess.

PAYMENT:
This might be a personal opinion, but I would typically avoid MOMs that only accept payment through CCs or Paypal. Some of these MOMs are the type that will cut and run. The majority of MOMs use Interac E-transfer as payment, and if they've gone through the trouble of setting up a bank account attached to the business, it's usually a sign that the MOM is planning to do it right. Some of the MOMs offer both. With these, I would stick to the bigger established MOMs for that Paypal payment.

PRICE:
I'm not going to lie and tell you we're the best priced MOM out there. But some will, and some you need to keep an eye out for. A lesser known MOM with crazy good pricing may actually be too good to be true, as the saying goes. Browse around the forum here and you can usually find what you're after. Some MOMS with really good pricing include -
  • Cheapweed
  • King Tuts
  • Speedgreens
These are the guys that have made a good name in the market and you can probably feel pretty comfortable ordering from as a first timer.

If you have any other questions, fire away. I've got nothing but time and I'm sure a few guys around here would be more than happy to help you out.

Otherwise, Best of luck and happy blazing!

Cheers,

If you stick to MOMs that are verified, like the 3 pointed out above, the one that pointed them out, or the many others on the MOMList on this forum, you shouldn't ever have a problem that isn't handled professionally.

It's one of those things you take a gamble on to a degree, sure. But on this particular forum. "Established MoM's" can't even be given that title here unless they have ALREADY proven, with a specific number of reviews/positive ones at that, they they are good on their word. When I first came here, I definitely took some comfort in that. I also spent some time on the review Thread reading what the regular smokers were buying and what they had to say about those experiences.

I would suggest doing the same. I get that there are shills and whatnot, but that is a seperate thread here entirely, so if you stick to the established MoM's list and read the MoM review thread, you really should be ok! Most of those MoM's also offer a "one time" replacement if your order fails to make it to you.

Yes this is a "grey area" as far as legal/illegal weed sales go. But, at the end of the day these ARE businesses that know if they are going to make enough to pay thier own bills, support their own families etc etc, then they need to come correct when dealing with us, the buyers/smokers.

I have went the prescrition route, I have done the local dispensary route and of course, for many, many years, bought via the street. And I can say with absolute honesty, the MoM's I have dealt with here, have far outweighed anyone else I've purchased from in customer service, in price, in quality and for me in particular, have allowed me to truly know what I am putting in my system. Which allows me to medicate in a customized fashion.

Give it a try, it's worth the leap :)
