Just had my first experience with this shop. Not good. Not good at all. Small test order of (5) signatures. (3) out of (5) would not even buy $10 bucks of fast food. (1) was an average swipe and (1) was good for only a small swipe. However, the checker on the shop showed approval on all the declines. BULLSHIT! This checker is a joke. I submitted a ticket on the shop and contacted him through ICQ so we'll see how he handles it.
I seldom post negative stuff about vendors but this is ridiculous. I'm the type that will hit 50% valid and be happy because of a couple of good hits. I don't waste my time complaining because I know that declines is part of the game, however, every once in a while I just have to scream BULLSHIT.
I'm sick and tired of these vendors claiming regional block..........you picked the wrong BINs, etc. All bullshit excuses because they don't want to replace. In this case, I bought BINs from the same base and same state they came from.............and they would not even hit in that state!!! WTF man? And they were all different BINs so no way I burned them out.
The BINs are a factor in your success, however, they are not nearly as important as these vendors want you to believe. Fact: I personally have every card you could imagine. I have traveled all across the country on vacations and used my personal cards for big amounts. And never........I mean NEVER EVER have I ever had a decline on any of my cards. - And I did not notify the banks that I would be traveling. So how did all of my personal cards get approved for nice amounts across the country? Answer: because the fucking dumps were good and not fucking garbage like these shops sell.
Every time I see a shop claim 90% valid rate I want to reach through the computer and strangle him. I'm not new to this. I know how to fucking pick BINs(even though I think the importance of it is like 25% of your succes). Never ever have I seen a shop come close to 90%.
I'm just thankful that I had a bunch of pieces from my regular vendors so the trip was not a complete waste.
