Hi all,
The home page for incense traders has this disclaimer: "All transactions are at your own risk." So far, I've attempted only one trade, and the result wasn't well. I think incense trading is a fantastic idea. In fact, I played a part in motivating Lesley to create this website. However, this post is a warning about the downside.
The trade was agreed upon almost 14 weeks ago ("it looks perfect" on January 30, 2016), I sent my side of the trade within a couple days and the other party said she received it.
I still have not received my side of the trade. I have attempted to contact the other party multiple times… at first it was just "I'm putting it together." That was already many weeks late. Now, I'm not receiving responses.
My advice is to avoid attempts to trade with forum user TerraRenee. I'll update this post if she ever sends it.
5/20/16 UPDATE: I've had 4 successful incense trades since this one. This was the only dud. I haven't heard from her since, but I wish her comfort, joy, and peace…
