IdealBuyer/CaliExoticx - buyer beware

I am providing a write up about my experience with IdealBuyer/CaliExocticz. Back on 7/16 and just before Hansa was taken down, I placed 2 orders with IdealBuyer/CaliExoticz for 2 ounces of flower. I had correspondence with IdealBuyer thru PMs and I had seen the videos and marketing ploys this guy used here on DankNation. I know now I made a way too premature decision in entering into a deal with this "vendor" but I wanted to trust the guy... fire flower from So Cal is what I was after and he I thought IdealBuyer was legit. I was wrong. On 7/16 IdealBuyer tells me my 1st order was in the mail. When speaking to IdealBuyer before i placed an order, dude said I could get tracking info. I will get back to this later... the 1st order was to be for a Jungle Boyz Do Si Dos ounce. IdealBuyer, after marking my order shipped, messages me back to say the Do Si Dos was out of stock. That he was sending Sunset Sherbert instead. I found this is to be curious considering IdealBuyer also told me what collective in LA he was going to shop for me at and I confirmed via weedmaps that the strain was in fact, in stock. But he told me it was not and that the Sunset Sherbert was on the way. Whats interesting about this was this was the same strain IdealBuyer was offering in his introductory sales. It seems like he attempted a bait and switch here. This should have been my 1st tip that Idealbuyer is a scamming scumbag. I missed this sign tho.. When looking up the Sunset Sherbert prices at the collective IdealBuyer told me to shop from, I noticed the price to be $260 an ounce. IdealBuyer charged me $455 for same ounce. I was pissed at the margins. I know he is here to make a profit but a 45% markup is fucking insane and price raping. I called Idealbuyer out on this and asked what was up with the price gouging!? He said this was his job, he had a staff, and that it was none of my business what he pays for product. When I told dude he made it my business having me pick a strain from a dispensary and letting me know he would ship what I selected. IdealBuyer then said he would make it right with me on my next order. Again, I am a punk and a shill. I know this now. I got sucked in and placed another order on Hansa for another ounce. My mindset was if I received both zips, the total cost paid would not be so bad in relation to the actual cost due to this "break" IdealBuyer was going to give to me. The 2nd order was placed the day before Hansa goes down. Idealbuyer accepts the order and confirms its ready for shipping. 6 hours later IdealBuyer says shipping will be delayed a day and that not to worry, my other ounce was fire and would hit the mail the following day and he would PM me the tracking info. Now all the while, I am asking Idealbuyer for the tracking info on the 1st package. He tells me over a series of 6 PMs that he is looking for it, that he has it but just needs to find it, that he put it somewhere else and he was going right away to pick it up and just about every other bullshit excuse he can think of for not having the tracking info in the 1st place. Alarm bells are going off in my head now... no tracking info and the bullshit excuses IdealBuyer is providing have me real concerned. My orders at this time are in escrow on Hansa and IdealBuyer is pushing me to finalize because of the volatility of btc.. I am pushing for the tracking info and IdealBuyer tells me he going to ship my 2nd order and would send the tracking info for both when he returns from the post office. Since then and now 2 weeks later, I have no packages from IdealBuyer. IdealBuyer told me to go to the post office and see if they are holding my package (really!?!?). Idealbuyer has told me he has no plans to re-send the 1st package he claims he lost the tracking info for. The same tracking info which would be the one thing to exonerate him from the scamming claims I have made here. He offers to re-send the Sunset Sherbert for $260 (his cost) and he tells me that we both lost on Hansa and that he never sent the 2nd package and has no intention on sending it. I am out $800 to IdealBuyer which is 100% my fault. I write this review only to say buyers beware. IdealBuyer/CaliExoticz is not to be trusted. Since my debacle I have read about his shitty packaging. We all know about his non-existent ospec and now we come to find out he sends inferior product, underweight in a half assed processed order. IdealBuyer is headed towards DDs and second rate markets. This cannot be good for his potential customer base. Cant say that y’all have not been forewarned…
