i’m one of those examples of “you don’t need college to get into the workforce, you just need skills”. and i make slightly above average net pay in the country that i live in.

i’m in my early 20s. a woman. and been working in big corpo for nearly 5 years.

i’m not going to get into how i did it or what exactly i do just because it’s irrelevant to this post. but i am a native english speaker in a european country, which helped my odds for sure.

thing is, i fucking hate my job. like most people do. but my job makes me physically feel sick. and mentally.

i am not passionate about the industry i work in.

i can’t stand dealing with ridiculous stakeholders and i would love to tell them to fuck off and eat shit, (instead i smile and pretend to care.)

i’m sick of MS teams, emails, admin on stupid systems, escalations, meetings where people use coporate jargon to come off intelligent but it’s clear they don’t know wtf they even mean.. just the whole corporate bullshit.

and sure i do make nice money, but at the cost of my life, because i hate my life. and they don’t nearly pay me enough to deal with what i do. not just me, my whole team is overworked and we are over max capacity, but management just encourages that “we do what we can for now.”

i am creative. i like to travel. i like spas. i’m good at building relationships and maintaining them (my best asset skill wise). i like art. i like managing. i like organizing. i like beauty and bettering myself. i like music. love helping people. but i can’t do any of that when i hate my job so much working over 10 hours a day.

and everyone tells you, “invest and you wouldn’t imagine over time how that money will multiply.” FUCK THAT.

i’ve had a few social media accounts that have been successful (i do this for my employer as well but indirectly) but not to the point where i can make revenue, as i just get burnt out from doing this alongside my job. and it’s not enough to create a portfolio.

i’ve had numerous ideas too, which i was so sure on until i wasn’t.

l really don’t wanna just stick to corpo. and i don’t wanna go back to college just to end up starting from scratch and ending up in a similar place.

and i have friends here who make less than me and are satisfied for the most part. but they don’t travel. they don’t experience the world. they are in their little bubble.

i’ve always said i don’t want to travel on a budget and get the minimum end of experience. i want to travel and experience the most that i can without a limit of “oh i can only spend 3k” and then… “i wish i got to do this… aww maybe next time or some day…”.

and that’s not just about travelling. that’s life in general.

i don’t want to marry a rich man. or do OF. or anything illegal.

i also don’t want to be an english teacher/tutor (everyone recommends that). i’d rather utilize my english and communication skills for something more interesting.

most importantly, i don’t want to work my life away so someone 6 levels above me can lay on a beach while i argue with stakeholders on Teams.

so woman (&/ men) who made it out young or wish they would’ve done it differently… what the fuck did you do? or what would you have done?

I genuinely cannot recommend this company based on my experience, and if I had read a review like this beforehand, I would have thought twice before placing an order.

I placed my order on 08/06 and paid via LTC (Litecoin) the same day. The payment left my wallet instantly, yet my order remained stuck on “Pending Payment” for more than a week. I was checking my email daily for updates... SILENCE.
At first, I assumed it was a temporary delay. But as the days passed, it became clear that getting any information from this company was going to be a challenge.

When I attempted to contact customer support, things only became more frustrating. Their ticketing system repeatedly threw errors whenever I tried to submit a request. After several failed attempts, I emailed them directly and provided screenshots, transaction details, and proof of payment.
Days went by without a response.

Ironically, the only thing that finally seemed to get their attention was posting a review about the lack of communication. Shortly afterward, I received a reply claiming there had been an issue with the transaction and that they had not received my payment.

Wanting to resolve the situation, I took it upon myself to investigate. Instead of the company contacting their payment provider, I contacted the provider myself. After reviewing the transaction, they informed me that the funds had initially been placed on hold but were later transferred to the seller.

I immediately forwarded this information, along with supporting screenshots, and asked the company to confirm receipt and continue processing my order.
That should have been the end of the issue.

It wasn’t.

It has now been a week since I provided evidence from their own payment partner confirming that the funds were transferred to the seller.

It has also been three weeks since I placed my order.

And despite all of that, there has been virtually no progress, no meaningful communication, and no indication that anyone is actively trying to resolve the situation.

Since then, I have continued following up every other day. The result? Nothing. No confirmation. No update. No timeline. No explanation.

My main concerns are:
• Order processing was significantly slower than expected.
• Customer support responses took several days, if they came at all.
• I had to investigate the payment issue myself rather than receiving assistance from the seller.
• Communication throughout the process was extremely limited, leaving me uncertain about both my payment and order status.
• Even after providing evidence from their own payment partner that the payment had been transferred, I still received no meaningful follow up.

What makes this experience particularly concerning is that I have ordered internationally from other suppliers before. In those cases, communication was prompt, updates were provided throughout the process, and payment-related issues were handled proactively. Even when dealing with international transfers across different countries and time zones, I typically received responses within 24 hours. If not, sooner.

Here, I experienced the complete opposite.
The most frustrating part is not even the delay itself. Delays happen. Payment issues happen. Systems fail.

What matters is how a company responds when those problems occur.

In this case, I was left chasing answers at every stage. I had to prove my payment, investigate the transaction, contact the payment provider, gather evidence, and repeatedly follow up just to get basic information. Meanwhile, the company remained largely unresponsive.

As a customer, that is incredibly difficult to overlook.

At this point, I cannot recommend this company. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise potential customers to think carefully before ordering. Three weeks after placing my order and one week after providing proof that their own payment partner confirmed the transfer... I am STILL left without answers, progress, or confidence that my order is being handled properly.

I would also encourage anyone considering purchasing from this company to read beyond the handful of glowing reviews and take a close look at their Trustpilot profile as a whole. There appears to be a substantial number of customers reporting experiences similar to mine, including delayed orders, poor communication, payment disputes, and unresolved issues. Not just that, but more recent ones have been raising issues regarding the quality of their products and vials being completely unusable. The contrast between the extremely positive and extremely negative reviews raises serious questions about consistency and reliability.

Overall, this has been one of the most frustrating purchasing experiences I have had. What began as a simple order turned into weeks of uncertainty, unanswered messages, and having to do the company’s job for them just to determine where my payment went.

If a company can receive payment, leave a customer waiting for weeks, fail to communicate, and still provide no clear resolution after being presented with evidence from its own payment partner, that should concern anyone considering placing an order.

Unfortunately, based on my experience, I would not trust this company with another purchase.
