Been using the same vendor for 2 years - full review
Do they offer anything for repeat customers?
6 orders is a solid sample size. Which states have you tried?
Honestly, I've been sticking with the same vendor for just over two years now, and the original post hit the nail on the head – loyalty really does pay off with these guys. I figured I'd throw up a proper full review since so many people here are always asking if sticking with one place is worth it. Short answer: yeah, it can be, but only if you pick a solid one from the start.
Ordering Timeline
My most recent order went something like this. Placed on a Monday evening, got a confirmation email with a tracking number within about 12 hours. Wednesday morning the tracking updated as "shipped." From there it took about 6 business days to land in my mailbox – so total time from order to delivery was roughly 8 days. That's pretty consistent with every order I've placed over the last two years. Sometimes it's been a day or two faster, sometimes a day slower, but I've never waited longer than two weeks.
Packaging Stealth
One thing I really appreciate is the packaging. It comes in a plain, unbranded bubble mailer with a return address that looks like a generic business or a residential address – nothing tied to any ID-related stuff. Inside, the IDs are slipped into a plain cardboard sleeve, and sometimes they throw in a small piece of paper with a fake receipt or something innocuous. There's no mention of what's inside on the outside, no weird tape jobs, no anything that screams "look at me." Clears customs without issues every time I've used it. Over two years, never had a single package seized, though I do keep my order sizes small (usually 1-3 IDs at a time).
Communication Speed
Communication is one of the areas where being a repeat customer really shines. Early on, responses took maybe 24 hours for non-urgent questions. These days, if I shoot them a message with my order number and mention "returning customer," I usually get a reply within a few hours. They're responsive on their ticket system (they don't do live chat, which is fine by me). They're pretty straightforward – no fluff, just answers. And if they make a mistake (which happens maybe once every 4-5 orders), they fix it quickly without making you jump through hoops.
Value for Money (VFM) Rating
I'd give them a solid 8.5/10 on VFM. Their prices aren't the absolute cheapest on the market, but they're competitive. What you're paying for is consistency and reliability. Over two years, I've ordered IDs for myself and friends – state IDs, driver's licenses, a couple of student IDs – and the quality has been rock solid. Good printing, decent materials, and the holos/match the real ones close enough for everyday use. You're not getting penny-factory quality, but you're also not paying top-dollar boutique prices. It's a sweet spot.
Specific Pros and Cons
Pros: they definitely prioritize returning customers – faster response times, minor tweaks done for free, and I've noticed they'll sometimes bump your order to the front of the queue if you mention you've ordered before. Quality has been extremely consistent. I've seen vendors go downhill after a year; this one hasn't. And the stealth packaging is solid – never had a package opened or questioned.
Cons: they don't offer every single state. If you need something niche or a state with notoriously hard-to-replicate features, they might not have it. Turnaround can sometimes drag a bit if you order right before a holiday or a major promo rush. I had one order take 11 days during a Black Friday period. Payment options are a bit limited – only crypto and a couple of gift card methods. That's not a con for me personally, but I know it can be a barrier for some newbies.
Overall, if you find a vendor that treats repeat customers well, it's absolutely worth sticking around. You build a bit of trust, and they're more likely to make things right when something goes sideways. Just don't get complacent – always check your orders, and never order more than you're willing to lose. But yeah, loyalty pays off if you play it smart.
Consistency is everything. A vendor who delivers once might just be lucky.
Long overdue writeup on my experience. Consistent quality, solid communication, and turnaround has stayed reliable across 6 orders. Hard to find that kind of consistency in this space.
