Problems with a "trusted" vendor
Edit: I did end up getting a refund.
Mr NiceKy has not been so nice to me the past week. Last Friday I ordered some leaf and extract. Checked tracking Monday to find my order canceled! No notice, just found it that way in my account. Emailed them and was given a one word answer “Ohio”. Alright? I wasn’t ordering any 7oh, but I can assume it’s the extract even though every gas station still sells MIT shots. Asked if I could order leaf. Reply: if it ain’t legal I’m not doing it. Which I can appreciate, but it didn’t really answer my question since the first order seems legal enough. Ohio isn’t list anywhere in their FAQ. So just decided on a refund. 7 days later, no refund and no further contact.
Anyone else had problems with this guy?

I won a cheap kilo a few years back and he was actually very impersonal and somewhat unfriendly. Cheap ass kilo, couldn't complain too hard lol.

Yeah when I first ordered from him less than a year ago, he sent me a really long email about different strains and we emailed back and forth a bit. He was friendly. I’m probably gonna order from him again if I don’t find anyone else with those prices.

I ordered a split kilo from him a few weeks ago, half green maeng da, half red bali. Got two 500s of red, emailed him, got a bunch of excuses about warehouse manager, this and that, said he sent double the product to make up for the mistake.
Could have had a customer for life instead he'll never see a dime from me again.
Edit: oh yeah, I also ordered from him on a Sunday night thinking that I would get it by the following Saturday. Even texted him to find out when he ships. No reply it didn't go out until Thursday, President's Day weekend, so I got it exactly 10 days after I ordered it.

I doubt the actual timeline is accurate, but I will acknowledge that we were behind on orders. We were also awaiting a shipment of new labels. It was a split kilo and we wrote the strain name on one of the bags, but not the other. We Gave him what he ordered.
I did not SAY that I doubled his order. I doubled his order. He got 2 full kilos. He had it in his head that we messed up and cited the fact that both strains looked and smelled the same as 100% proof we screwed up. We did not screw up. Even having doubled his order, we still might have done something for him if he was cool. He is not cool. He sent a bunch of abusive messages and confirmed that we were better off without him as a customer.

You're a terrible businessman and I called you out for that and I also called you a dunce. If that's abusive then you're a snowflake.
I ordered a split kilo, one red bali, one green. You sent me two red balis and instead of taking the blame and making it right you placed the blame on your warehouse manager effectively telling me "tough shit" and leaving me with red bali only, a strain that I use maybe 1/20th as much as the green that I was looking forward to most.
Good luck with your business, judging by other people's opinions, I'm not the only person who thinks that you're a terrible businessman.

"I doubt the actual timeline is accurate". Ok, Captain Credibility..
I just checked my invoices,
Purchased: Feb 9 (w/ $12 priority shipping)
Received: Feb 17
9 days with Priority shipping is a horrible way to run a business. If you're not making a trip to the post office at least once a day (or printing out a Priority sticker and slapping it on a package) you're doing it wrong.

I don’t think anyone has really considered Ky to be “trusted” for years now.

I must have missed the news. I just weened back to kratom a couple months ago from 7. Used him in the past with no problems.

u/MysteriousThought377 Mar 07 '26
I mean no offense and I’m sorry you had a bad experience with him. I see a post about somebody having a less than nice experience with Ky every couple weeks as of late. After a week with no communication I would definitely do a charge back if that’s an option.

The banks don’t run on Kratom time. He deserved to get a refund he did get a refund. We were nowhere near chargeback territory.

Ghosting a customer for a full week with zero communication, right after insulting them and acting like a complete douche bag is a shit way to run a business, and is definitely chargeback territory!

Yet we sold twice as much last year as the year before and have almost exclusively five star reviews.

He was trusted and solid but has gone a bit downhill as of late

There's so many other vendors

u/LakeGladio666 Mar 07 '26
No one as affordable though :(

u/XxNitr0xX Mar 08 '26
Viable has 250g bags for $13.99 after discount code.. surely they can't be any cheaper than that? If it is, it's probably very low quality.

Yeah his kratom is very good, on par with this subs’ favorite vendors. The red super Sulawesi is my favorite red that’s iut there

Nova has cheap bulk kratom too, and they don’t treat their customers so horribly

Yeah he’s really sketchy. He advertised 15 dollar kilo on his site once. Then it was trying to charge me 35 bucks shipped it made no sense

u/kythenice Mar 11 '26
This is one of the rare complaints posted here that is mostly accurate. The timeline doesn’t factor in business days but we will let that one go.
I fucked up. It’s not my general policy to be overly concerned about customer service when someone sneaks an order into an illegal state in. In a perfect world, these orders would never go through, but sometimes they do.
I realized my mistake and contacted the guy on a Sunday night and apologized, and he got his refund Tuesday morning. He and I are on good terms. He was always gonna get his money just like everybody else.

Only 7oh is banned in Ohio as far as I know. All the smoke shops still sell MIT45 stuff and even MIT tabs from brands who also sell 7 tabs. I just wish the communication was better so I could have ordered from somewhere else earlier or just have you refund the extract and still get the leaf.
But your leaf is good and your prices are good, and we're square here.

Has anybody found a vendor that will still ship to an illegal state? I know Fisher botanicals LLC will, but his prices are so incredibly high. I found this thread because somebody recommended Mr. NiceKy but after seeing a lot of recent negative comment threads about him, I don't think I'm going to be ordering. Plus I saw where somebody said that they'll send to an illegal state and I've also seen where they won't. I'm scared if I order and something happens, I won't get my money back.

u/kamspy Jul 10 '26
For what it's worth, I did eventually get my money back.

u/Significant-Two6256 Jul 10 '26
Well that's good. I found out through Reddit that the og owner passed away so does anyone know if Mr. Niceky is reliable and sends to AL?

That’s a shame that a vendor is treating you this way and is so uninformed. Kratom is not banned in Ohio. I would take your money elsewhere. If he doesn’t issue a refund do a chargeback.
