So, here goes my two cents about Alex. I texted and e-mailed him the same exact text on Sunday March 12th at noon. 1 hour later he replies to my text message saying he is busy doing his taxes but open for business. Then he follows up on Monday via e-mail with the inventory he has and prices. I reply back, again, both via e-mail and text specifying which make and model I wanted.I only hear back from him again on Wednesday. He was affected by the torrential rains in California. But, on the same Wednesday, he sends me a tracking number, and soon the invoice. I waited until I could track the number with USPS to make sure "something" was indeed trackable on the USPS website with that number. As soon as the package made it out of California, I sent him the money via Apple Pay. Notice he sent me the drive before I even paid him! Please note: Apple Pay has his number blacklisted as "scam/fraud". I decide to go ahead and send the money anyway, even before receiving the drive and making sure it worked. I received the drive on Thursday or Friday, as promised, very well packaged, and clearly in great condition. If it is refurbished or not new, I really cannot tell. It looks and performs exactly as a brand new drive. Alex was always professional, cordial, correct, and I recommend him 500% (Yes, that's 100% times 5.) He IS for real, and I hope he makes sure to get Apple off his back so this warning message no longer appears when people go to send him money. All in all, a FANTASTIC experience buying from Alex. 5 star service with very reasonable prices. The drive works like a charm. Best, everyone. R.

Thank you for the nice comments! My five cents about you sir is that you're awesome and thanks for taking the time! Here I go complaining about the rain again. You know it's awesome that California is finally getting rain. Hopeful we'll avoid drought for the next 100 years but when a massive oak tree comes down and destroys the neighborhood D-SLAM and we lose Internet for days it's kind of hard to do business on the Internet. And when you run out of hot spot data you're pretty much hosed. I can be reached by phone or text 6508502442 but things are to normal today thank goodness!Yeah I hate being off 'net because the emails build up and I feel like a chump not being able to return messages then people get mad and say that guy sucks but I'm literally powerless over the weather and the trees and the d-slams and this last week those things have made my life unmanageable. I'm sure someone else here can relate but finally yesterday AT&T sent us a new router and we''re back on the 'net now that won't solve my issue not having fiber optic but soon enough hopefully. So I'm about to hit reply to all so a couple hundred people will be receiving replies to their emails and the awesome ones who have kept up with my updates I will toss out discounts like candy and not penny candy either! So let's get ready to rumble with some drive sales oh yeah and I've been trying to work on years of back taxes which has been pretty hellish but you know what the answer to that is? Yeah you guessed it file your taxes every year like you're supposed to! OK so, better late than never and if there are any CPAs out there who would be so kind as to answer a question I will reciprocate in kind and thanks so much for everything happy April!

Sorry about your issues with the weather, man. But hey, if you subscribe to "misery loves company", not saying you do, but if you do, I've been through almost 10 hurricanes in Florida already... Last one that affected me, 30+ days with no power, which means no AC, refrigerator, etc., in FLORIDA, in the summer, when the house gets over 100F during the day and night... ':-/ Yeah, not fun either.

Again, Alex is THE MAN! Awesome experience doing business with him, and no, he is not g0d and does NOT have control over the weather! But he DOES have excellent drives, ready to rip, with very reliable service, professional, and the prices are unsurpassedly (if there is such a word) affordable and matching what he sells.

Best, everyone. R.

1. Shot Alex an email a few weeks back with some questions. Received answers back within a few hours.
2. He was able to steer me towards the bare drive and I immediately agreed.
3. He sent the package and I paid via Apple Pay. As RaphaelLouis mentioned above, I also received the fraud warning and was told that I would not be refunded in case it was a scam. Against my better judgement, I went ahead and paid anyway.
4. I'm happy to report it was not a scam.
5. Not even a joke, nor an exaggeration: the packaging was so good that I interrupted my wife watching The West Wing on HBO Max to tell her to get a load of how well Alex had packed it. To my dismay, she was not as impressed. But seriously, it was wrapped it something like six layers of bubble wrap, then had two pieces of stiff, thick, corrogated cardboard on each side (the good cardboard), then all of that was taped together so it wouldn't move in shipping, then it was all placed in a bubble mailer envelope. Probably could've run a car over it. Took me like 10 minutes to unwrap. The wife was dismayed that my continual, noisy unwrapping interrupted her resuming the show.
6. I have the drive, it's already ripped one 4K and an HD blu-ray, and all appears to be well.
