Another week of nothing. At this point I'm fairly certain that HostSlick does not have any intention of delivering.
Response to the ticket:
Fr @raindog308 @jbiloh who decided this retard deserved a tag? Y’all are too smart to allow this.
Man you made some good points and then decided to hit your credibility with the insults
HS has been posting offers since 2016, so it's not like they didn't have a track record. And their last offer 6 months ago did not generate problems, so calling staff here "retards" seems wee bit dankrupt.
You’re going to keep being a bootlicker?
How come so angry on a Friday?
This is like the 4th time "The hardware delivery to the data center is still pending" or "it will be delivered this week"?
By “still pending” what they really mean is they never ordered the hardware in the first place and have no intention of ever delivering. Why else would they be so confident to say “latest delivery by May 5” and go total radio silence afterward?
I’d chargeback and find a competent provider to do business with. At this point, even if you get the server, the moment it has problems or goes down, you’re likely screwed beyond relief (and outside the chargeback window). Save yourself that grief.
That is the right thing!
be a man
do the right thing
You accepted $200 so this guy could exit scam this community. If y'all didn't see any red flags months ahead of time, then I have a couple of references for prescription glasses.
Your money slick, your money slide and…
its why I don't pay yearly for vps. if your profit margin prevents you from offering monthly, then the business is running on hope instead of a viable plan.
I can tell about Servarica. They made a refund after few months of using the service(by request)
Even it was annual payment + one more year in advance,
nice company.
A host being a bit unresponsive triggers admin to show up.
But ColoCrossing breach is swept under the rug.
Good going y'all @jbiloh @raindog308
A front page article on LowEndBox and a thread on LowEndTalk with about 80k views does not equal "swept under the rug".
@SirFoxy not sure where your hostility comes from. I've always shown you grace.
Not necessarily. Annual payment can save a lot in processing fees and gives them immediate cash flow to invest, etc. Just because you pay more monthly doesn’t always mean that the provider profits more. There’s always middlemen in every transaction.
Not every sale has to be profitable per se either. Maybe someone has excess idling capacity on a node that they are willing to mark down on a flash sale to generate extra revenue from it. Idling node capacity is lost money; the node isn’t cheaper to run with fewer customers.
TL;DR I wouldn’t generalize business practices to all providers. They are all different, and there are many that are highly regarded that largely offer annual plans. As a matter of practice I refuse to mention the names of other providers on offer threads, but you can find some threads with only annual plans that had over 1k non-spam comments in them.
So, guys should I charge back or wait another months ? @Arkas @FAT32 @jbiloh
Order one more of the same specs
The offer of @layer7 was amazing, I lost It 😭
Ask your bank when the chargeback window closes. Then chargeback at least 2 weeks before the window closes.
I would have chargeback and left on June 5 (30 days late) but if you really want to give them the benefit of the doubt, t - 2 weeks should be the most you give them to deliver.
Hi,
we will make soon a new event, but then in a better manner communication wise and with an improved solution for the infrastructure.
Also i am sure that others might make here and there similar offers with better IO performance, that we still have to work on.
Stay strong!
You should do what you feel is fair and appropriate.
Meanwhile, @HostSlick seems like your attention is needed here.
Has the host in question @ColoCrossing come clean on what transpired?
Has the Administration from this forum taken any action on @ColoCrossing ?
Would your stance be to let it swept under the rug if another host had a breach and they didn't come clean?
Having thread open with 80k views doesn't mean anything if the host doesn't come clean.
If this is not sweeping things under the rug, I dunno what is.
You gave this guy a tag after his entire network vanished for a week. You didn’t see this exit scam coming?
We will deliver tomorrow 100% (today my time, its late night). Full follow up tomorrow to the tickets.
i have just taken care to finish the node setup
Unfortunately i run into some other problems irl which is/was the reason for my absence. Full explanation on the ticket
I am very sorry. If you sent me a DM on LowEndTalk i probably come back to you during next week.
All time is credited back
thanks.
He speaks!
@HostSlick, Ticket #467258 sitting there too long..
I'm finding it very hard to believe that just one day ago your support said "still pending"/"once it arrives" and today (on a Saturday no less, USA time) you're promising that you will deliver 100% tomorrow (on a Sunday)...? So the hardware arrived just within the past 24h and you have the staffing on a Sunday to rack up everything after a month of radio silence?
Anyone who has a chargeback open with their bank, don't withdraw it. Wait for the YABS results to come.
