What I would personally do if I were you;
1. Edit your first post because you made a f up there
2. Just come clean and say you are affiliated with the website
3. Try to bring your prices down a bit, I personally think the prices are a bit high
4. Pick someone in this thread, send them a bit of bud, hell, there are Durban members in this thread, or anyone for that matter. Just to check quality and be prepared for constructive criticism and use that info to get a feel for what people want and their expectations.
5. If you use stock images rather take pictures of your own stock (strip metadata and use a different, clean camera for this)
6. Build your business from there on out, armed with some info and a bit of a cleaner slate.

Just remember, there's nothing wrong coming out and just saying ' listen guys, Im the xxxxxxxx of website xxxxxxxx. We are a new place trying to enter the market and hope we can get some support etc etc etc' you get what Im saying.

Be lekker and dont lick beach sand
1) I agree I went about it the completely wrong way. I do apolgise for that, I was just being a newb there. I am affiliated with Uberzol.

2) Prices: Due to some supply issues during the Covid crisis our prices are slightly inflated and we a working our best to get prices down. We work with muliple small growers in our area and that is the goal of our business; To create a marketplace where we connect small, local growers to their local community. This is what we have done with uberzol.express. The 3 stores listed are independent and based in and around Durban.
Eventually we plan to have an express service in all of the main cities, sourcing weed from local growers in that area only and we are always looking for new suppliers.

3) I am all for recieving constructive criticism. I want to create an offering that we can all benefit from. I see @Anton123 has said he is in Durban I will send him a DM shortly.

4) Images: All the images we use are taken personally by us when we receive new stock. We have a small light box which we place the products in. The photo is taken on a cell phone camera and then edited by us. I have attached a photo pre-edit and post-edit.

I really appreicate all the information and help so far! Your comments will defintely not go unheard.

Awesome response and I fully understand regarding the prices. I wish you a very successful business going forward.

Also, good attitude towards constructive criticism and not just freaking out and feel like you are being attacked. This attitude will help in achieving success.

Lastly, what I meant with the camera is just for you to be on the safe side, people have been busted before by not removing meta data from pictures when they use the same camera over and over.

Uberzol.express is for Durban Central areas only. It is an on demand service and we aim to deliver within 2 hours after your order is placed.

Uberzol.com is for nationwide delivery to areas outside of our express area in KZN, as well as the rest of the country.

How can I see what's on express without creating an account? I'm in Durban, but I'm lazy, so I'm not going to sign up for something just to see what's on offer.

Is CBD vape juice worth it? Has anyone here experienced benefits from just CBD? Thanks

My local guy who I’ve been buying from for years just gave me an extra 5g high grade bag with my requested order. I never asked for a 5g high grade bag. What’s the best way to go about this, don’t want him thinking I’m an ungrateful git for not saying thanks, same time if this was a mistake I don’t want him thinking I’m dishonest. If he mentions it, will happily pay if it was a mix up. Just don’t wanna be that guy, if you know what I mean. I have been given freebies before by others, but have also known it was a gift as they mentioned it. This time not sure.

Side note, anyone with 3mg vape juice in the southern suburbs (cape Town) let me know ASAP via dm, I’m looking to buy.

cheers!

"Hey man how have you been. Im not sure if it was a mistake but you gave me an extra 5g of lekker bud. Was this a mix up perhaps"

And then go from there

Word of warning. My HV ORDER has been confiscated by the SAPS... Just been informed by courier. Not sure if it's gonna come back to bite me but there's R1500 down the drain....

Needless to say I'm stressing a bit....
Sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear man, it must have been a routine inspection - I doubt sniffer dogs can smell distillate?

I'm sure HV will replace it - that's just the cost of doing business for them... The end consumer should not be the one to carry the risk of confiscation, that's why we pay premium....

Yeah I did let her know. And she said she was gonna make a plan to replace. But to be honest I'm a bit rattled.
My thinking is also that they would rather go to the source than the end user...
