To start off with this thread is not about which packer I think is the most realistic or which STP works best, as I think these things vary between people. But what everyone has to experience is the services of these companies and I want people to be aware of what to expect when choosing a company. Not all of these experiences are mine, but I've asked around and done my research.
1.) DJ KNOWS'S DICKS:
Well right now they only provide pink packers; so many members of our community won't be able to purchase these anyway. The packer isn't ridiculously expensive= $50, £31, 36 euro.
I would recommend ordering from this site if you live in the US or Canada, as delivery only costs $15 (£9, 10 euro.) But I've heard from people trying to order in the UK that it is much more expensive and takes a lot longer to get to you. But order time to the US isn't exactly short as you are given a maximum of six weeks to wait!!
The company processes your order through pay-pal, so I suppose that's professional and safe.
2.) Mango Products:
Well I can't actually give an opinion on this, mostly because I never bothered to order from them. I'm sure you all know why. During the end of 2009 loads of guys ordered from Mango but never received their products and have not had their payments refunded. Even if they have claimed to have now fixed the problem this is not a company I could trust.
Also, their delivery time is also ridiculously long, being 4 weeks in the US and 6 weeks overseas.
They are more expensive than other options, with a 3 1/2 inch stp-packer costing $70 (£43, 50 euro) and the 5 1/2 costing $75 (£46, 54 euro)
3.) The Gear Guy Gear
I can't even find this site any-more, but apparently they are still running. But regardless, I wouldn't order from here. Get ready for a mega rant:
About a year ago I tried to order from them and what you have to do is send them an e-mail telling them what you want. Then the guy told me that I either needed to send him the money or send it to his account via pay-pal. First of all, you don't even have a company account? Second, I'm not sending my money out without confirmation of an order. This did just sound like a massive scam to me, that I just send him some money and sit around waiting for my packer. I told the guy how unprofessional I found this and I had to put up with a month of whiny e-mails from this guy about how upset he was that I had said this. (Not exactly proving my claim wrong.) By the end I was so offended by what he had said and done I blocked him and started telling all my trans friends about how much of a dick he was and to never order from him
(Two can play the child's game!)
I can't tell you how much it is or delivery times as I never got that far. But even if I did, I wouldn't tell you encase you ordered from him XD
4.) STP-FITZ
OK, I have to take my nerdy-ranty hat off to this guy. His product comes in two different packers, GV and Mr. Softie. The GV prices are: 4 inch $52 (£32, 37 euro) and the 5 inch are $58 (£36, 42 euro.) The Softie prices are: 3 1/2 $44 (£27, 31 euro) and the 5 inch is $47 (£29, 32 euro.) All models come in the three standard colors.
You can order them from three different sites: Tool Shed Toys, Early 2 Bed and She Bob the Shop. Delivery prices vary depending on which site you choose. The only down side here being that they are all sex shops and I had to use my mother's card...
I tried to order from Tool Shed but they kept rejecting the card so I ordered from Early 2 Bed. The delivery cost was relatively cheap at $29 ( £18, 21 euro) and I got it two weeks after I ordered it. I've heard similar praise to Tool Shed if your card does work on their site but I've heard nothing about She Bob the Shop.
Also if you have any difficulty with the product you can e-mail Mr. Fitz
stp_fitz@yahoo.comSo in conclusion I feel like a satisfied customer and would recommend this service.
5.) Stand-To-Urimate
This guy is the absolute best!!!
His product is affordable and comes in both the medicine spoon and the Whiz receptacle. Small/Medium costs $60 (£37, 43 euro) and the larger models cost $65 (£40, 47 euro.) All packers come in the three standard colors.
And delivery on all STP-packers anywhere in the world is completely free!! (Although this does not apply to any other products.)
His delivery times within the US are 2-5 business days after it is shipped (usually shipped within seven business days) and 4-8 weeks outside the US. But do not think that delivery is poor as I got mine just under two weeks after I ordered it (South-West England.)
Ok and now for the best bit:
My product was defective. Like really defective. The thing fell off after two weeks of having it and I tried to get it back on but the goddamn thing wouldn't co-operate. So I e-mailed him, expecting to get the name of his favorite super-glue. Instead I got an apology and, in two weeks again, a whole new STP-packer! He had also included a bottle of his "Dick-Dust" Packer-Rejuvenation powder (which by the way works like a freaking charm!)
So my recommendation would be Stand-To-Urimate, for being cost affective, delivery being acceptable and the guy being really nice!
