[Vendor Review] Golden Era Sample Review

Being a sample review, I'm going to try to keep this brief.

Shipping/stealth/packaging: OK overall, nothing overly impressive, but it was pretty discreet and got the job done. The 200mg of powder came in a roughly 5x2 inch ziplock bag taped inside a plain yellow greeting card in a bright yellow envelope. It was unlabeled. It shipped within about 2 days of ordering, and the shipping itself took 5 days or less, including a weekend - I'm not totally sure how quick it was because I went on a trip the day it was shipped. My only real issue with the packaging was that the envelope arrived opened up - I thought one of my roommates was being nosy, but someone else also reported this. Being a sample, it's not too big a deal, but it'd be nice if they taped it shut rather than relying on the envelope's adhesive.

Product: Marquis, Mandelin, and Mecke reagent tests appear to be as expected according to this post on DMT-nexus. The only major downside is that all the 5-sub tryptamines have similar results for these reagents, but other forms of testing in the future will probably confirm that it's 5-MeO-MiPT. The weight looks about right - with the bag, it came out to almost 1.1g exactly (I don't want to remove the powder right now because so much is stuck to the bag and it's just a sample - it could be 150mg underweight and I wouldn't really care)

My main issues with this vendor overall were that the bag was a bit on the large side for 200mg of substance (so a lot of the chemical is stuck to the bag) and that the envelope opened during transit. The former probably won't be an issue for anyone ordering from them in the future, since I believe they sell by the half to whole gram, and the latter can be fixed easily by the vendor in the future. The major plus sides are that reagent testing the product supports that it is what the vendor says it is, and that the shipping is pretty quick and very discreet. On top of that, it's nearly impossible to mistake for junk mail because of the bright yellow envelope.
