It really is killing it, 30 quid is a joke, was trying to grab something thats been in my cart for about 5 days, im pretty much going without it at this rate, no way i can pay 30 quid just to spend my own money.

I really thought my first Christmas on LB would be legendary, its not going to be.

What are you trying to buy B0W?

Hey Polly, so i have a couple of bits of flower on order from The Spacemen, Q of a nice treat and a half of a better value option, ive been juggling them as long as possible to try figure out which one to pay for and which to cancel, at these prices its cancel both 🤦🏻‍♂️
Im going to try again in the early hours🤞🏻

Had to empty my cart too my man can’t justify spending almost a Q in fees 😕

Its not the way i like to empty my bag!

Ouch!…hope you get sorted and don’t go short over the festive season mate🤞🏼

Thank you, keep those fingers crossed, fees down a little 🤞🏻

Feel you mate local plug for goose this year 😩

Yep, I just bought some shake for £60 and had to pay £30 in network fees (50%!!!). Something needs to be done asap as people will start looking elsewhere. This should've been sorted already tbh the fees aren't going anywhere...

Yeah I am already trying to medicate, already on a very low income... I think I have now been priced out of LB completely. I can barely scrape together the bit that I can as it is, so thats me out I think!!

No way you just paid the £30 fee for shake 🫣

Needed shake, it's a brand new batch and £90 in total for the oz is still somewhat reasonable. Still the network fees are avoidable and unexcusable at this point.

Hi frogman420..I myself did a $90 order this morning.( Not for shake).using Bittylicious
Cost was £73.48. With fees jumped up to £93.67
So £20 is quite a jump. Considering normally pay £5 fees at the most..crazy atm 🥴🥴😕

Yes it needs sorting im done with this site until it changes its so frustrating, everyone is losing money left right and center, enough is enough just before christmas to. No one buying anything for a month or two, they will change the then.

Hey Guys,
So yeah I agree the fees are getting ridiculous and I about had a stroke when I had to add currency twice just to pay the fees. So i started using a wallet that tells you the fees upfront which is still crap but at least i know the damage before hand.

I don't mind paying some fees and mine only ended up being $20 thereabouts. A month or two ago I think for the same amount it was only $10 so yeah LB needs to allow us the use of less popular crypto before everyone rages and destroys things...well ok maybe that was just me lol

Merry Xmas guys and hopefully we got some kind of resolution!

I was just about to order some hash for Xmas from Green Avenger Weed and had to cancel the order due to the insane fees Bittylicious are charging! Wtf is going on, it's completely unreasonable, and fucking over the buyer and seller retrospectively. We as buyers will be priced out on LB, certainly not paying a Q in fees! I've always used LB, and generally pay maybe £5 - £6 in fees which i can justify, but not these extortionate rates, they can fuck right off. If this continues, it's going to be bad news for the sellers. Local plug it is for Xmas.

I'm running low on the CI 🦄 piss. Don't want to pay that many fees but not many other options open to me.

Had to stock up on Unicorn 🦄 Piss myself!🔥🤩

The more festive Reindeer Piss still a pipedream eh? 🦌

😂🎅😂

Wow was £15 most of last week - now looks like £30 is the new ‘fee’ - that is fucking ludicrous. Cancelled all my Christmas orders. Looks like I’m going old school scoring this year 😡😡😡

Yeah it’s really shitty. Wanted to get an order in for a couple ounces total but spilt over 4 vendors. No way I’m laying out 120 in fees. I’ll use cityofcanna in the meantime.

Can ask what City of canna is my dude?

Alternative site. Normally very expensive compared to LB but as you can pay in ££ doesn’t seem so bad when crypto is crippling 😖

Yeah. Wasn’t sure if it was ok to mention here. It is a little pricey and I tend to stick with LB but with these fees it’s meh at the moment. Going to bite the bullet with some hash today from here though… Will just have to get a decent chunk to make it seem worthwhile 😂

Thank you my friend!! I have always wondered, what I would do if LB went down... I don't really have a local plug!! I am a 41year old disabled woman, stuck at home. I don't even go to the pub... you know, so I can ask dogdy Dennis, who's always half baked and sits in the corner by the loos!! 🤣😂

You don’t need to do 4 separate transactions . Just Put everything in the same cart and When you go to pay for the cart It will give you one total to pay and the site will redirect the funds to the appropriate vendors ….
It’s still £30 at the mo but for a bulk order it’s easier to swallow

Is it!? I didn’t know this. Thank you. You’re sure? 😂👌🏻

I'm trying to order at the moment but there's no way I'm paying £30 in fees.

Can anyone explain to me WTF is going on? The fees are insane right now.

Traffic on the blockchain due to volatility- miners set their own fees and we are hostage to it….

Great if XRP or XLM can be used

Yeah i agree, it’s honestly ridiculous, i was trying to make a purchase of $135 over the weekend and had a £45 network fee 😫🤯

Luckily this morning it had calmed down a bit and i paid £14 network fee, but still having to wait and check network fees every 10 until they calmed down was not very fun and there needs to be a better alternative for when the fees are fucked like this.

Getting annoying now as today (18th) is probs about the last day to order if you want it definitely guaranteed before xmas, although I haven't noticed my post slowing down yet tbh.

The fees had been going down since last night, where half as much this morning as yesterday thought holding out a little longer would see them come down some more but nope ofcourse not they've gone right back up even higher! If you catch any sort of break biggas just take it while you can!

Good luck everyone <3

Try in the early hours when the Americans are asleep it will be better.

Glad im not the only one outraged. Grabbed half blue cheese half shake and a vape and had to pay 30 in network fees which is beyond a joke. Came to 38 in total with coinbase fees buying coins/ sending.

Paid the same in nov but was only buying shake so could allow it but it’s ridiculous. Won’t use LB again till it’s lowered and I suggest ppl boycott. Only grabbed off here as im out in the sticks and cars in the garage. Won’t be back till it’s sorted. What a shame..LB was a lifesaver in lockdown

Its not really LB's fault, its a problem with bitcoin.
I use electrum to send BTC - this gives quite a bit of flexibility on how to pay the fee - you get 3 options and a slider.
I paid about £9 today on £200 which cleareed in about 30 mins.
I could have paid about £30 if I had chosen one of the other methods.
Also pays to look at the mempool which tells you the current rates:
https://mempool.space/

this is definitely not LB fault, the fault is with the Bitcoin network itself.

Are they relatively easy to use? I still use coinbase smh

I use coinbase to buy
I then transfer to my electrum 'wallet' on my PC.
I then send from electrum.
Generally not a good idea to pay LB direct from coinbase.

Thanks for letting me know that! Is this because of it being more traceable? Also electrum fees I assume are like everyone elses rn?

The next btc halving is this coming April, i bet that fucks it up even more. We need another coin. im a conspircist. i blame THEM

Yeah man idk wtf I'm going to do, I don't have irl dealers anymore.
Maybe it's time to hit TOR sites...

Just came here to say the same . I couldn’t believe my eyes this morning.
Like most people I accept there will be a handling fee for using the service and I thought £15 was more than enough for that but £30 today is just taking liberties . As with so many things greed has taken something useful and made it unworkable . Bitcoin needs kicking into touch by this site .

Has any one tried revolut, really simple to add and send to bct address, I ordered £200 of stuff and only charged me £8 fee in total

Was this today? 18/12/23?

I ordered today mate was charged £29.19 for network fees

I ordered last Thursday

i use revolut and the ability to use the QR code is useful , fees can be OK but they seem to vary however like you I think its very simple , just remember to delete the wallet number that you have transferred to once the order is sorted or you could potentialy send to it again in error.

If you pay 9.99 a month for the revolut plus, you got loads of benefits, including cheap crypto fees, the most I’ve probably paid is £10, that’s buying and sending included

I’m getting changed £100 to send £700 to my Trading account to cash out…. Normally £2 / £3, hopefully it gets sorted sooner than later

I ordered about 4:30 this morning to get the fees down a bit and got roughly £100 order for £23 fees. Still extortionate but a little better than yesterday where it was up to £62 in fees for the same order. It is getting silly now. Good luck everyone.

I made a $480 purchase the other day. My fees were $8.70 . That was with the rabbit speed. Turtle was about $6.80 and lightning was around $24 .

I stupidly didnt know what was going on with the network fees I have now had $200 dollars stuck on the blockchain for over 5 days now.

£15 btc fees are insane, ontop of all of coinbases other fees. Will be the reason I stop using biggy till fees come down

You can't. Fees are dependent on network congestion and/or what people are prepared to pay. Sending last night cost me £12 for high priority, so you're being quoted a fairly 'normal' current fee, but this can fluctuate multiple times an hour. Hopefully it'll sort itself out soon as we're all paying way over the odds currently.

I bought this morning the total fee was £2.98 for the Bitcoin network fee try later on that was around 1:30am check every 5 mins u til it changes.

Which exchange mate, I've been seeing £13 for the last 4 days on coinbase

If you send from a wallet it usually allows you to choose the transaction fee you want to pay, but if the network is congested the fees go up so if your fee is to low it may take ages to go through or not go through at all. if you coin is on an exchange then that won't really help, you just have to wait or swallow the fee

Unfortunately thats the case for everyone due to the network congestion. It should get lower in a few days/weeks

I made an order for about $160 and got it for £8.50 fee about 11ish, about an hour later made a $30 order and i was gonna charge £13 fee so cancelled that one
Maybe if you try and send late night or early morning the fees could be a bit more reasonable
These rotten fees make small orders hard to justify to yourself(

yeah. says if you send to an email or phone number it’s free. but no chance of that! so having to revert back to local delivery. 😀

Looking good mate! Pretty sure I smoked my weight in cheese over the years, doesn't mean I won't be buying more though.

Looks like a lovely bit of Cheese, had a nice example recently and it really is nostalgia in a bag.

Despite smoking since the mid '90s, I have never knowingly smoked Cheese, or even encountered it. I'm starting to think that I'm very much in the minority.

How did you miss cheese mate?!

We had boxes of it regularly 😂😂😂

Swear we all got sick of it, then it became forgotten and now rare 🤷‍♂️

I’d be interested to see how this measures up against the other 🧀 offerings atm 🥳

Dunno dude. It was the days of going to the weed man, and the weed man had weed. And we were thankful of it, and he knew that only too well.

There's another example I've had my eye on too, but the fees are stupidly high currently. They hit 190+ sat/vB for high priority in the early hours. Not viable.

Hahaha, those were the days! (not)

"What is it mate?"

"Green"

😂😂😂 Give me a good laugh that has.

I have only had the pleasure of smoking Cheese once before this, a blast from the past for sure!

Yep, the fees are terrible. They wanted £10 for me to send £40 earlier! Gutting.

Hope all is well mate 👍

SOTL

Amazing how similar many of our formative experiences were, isn't it?

I'm alright mate, other than work doing its best to kill me off. Off now until next week though, and making my way through some Jungle Boys flower after about 4 hours sleep post multiple nights. Surely that'll help? Hope everything's going good with you too dude.

First reviews in!

Transaxe is down for maintenance and miners fees are bonkers... Hope the situation improves soon. 🤞

Forgot to put up a picture of the ash in a joint, here's a GIF. 🤤

SOTL

She looks stunning SOTL, shame fees have gone back up again :( looks like xmas is going to be a nightmare for vendors and buyers alike

Looks awesome! Old school cheese was so lovely - I don't think it's rose-tinted nostalgia to say them were the days. Was a bit disappointed when Blue Cheese came in and it was a lottery whether the plug had blues or regular. Was honestly gutted when all cheese faded and everything turned to dawg.

Love to see it. Your timing is impeccable SOTL, if fees aren't extortionate I'll be making an order in the morning. Hope all is well in the land shroom, glad to see you back on top dude 🙏

Transaxe is down, at least you’ve managed to make the order! If it doesn’t come back up soon I’ll be missing vendor cut off also.

Transaxe was not working for me at all this morning but society is run on something different and seems to be processing payments just fine, head over there and complete your order if your having trouble getting on there, there are topics that can help you

It’s still down now 7/12 how do I get on society to pay for my order? Thanks.

You need a tor browser first if you weren't aware.

Thank you for that appreciated.

same issues with the society onion/cryptonic. payment amount shows as received but not moving from "your payment is awaiting confirmation" even though the blockchain shows confirmations. ugh.

still down? can't catch a break

I've had $147 pending for 4 days now. Not sure what to do.

Mine just gone through this morning, took 24 hours. Mine was $165. 7/12/23. It’s becoming increasingly more likely that this is the end. For me anyway. It’s not worth the stress. It’s becoming More volatile each time I purchase. If it wasn’t for the quality LSD on sale I wouldn’t bother at all. Hope all your purchases go through peeps. Stressful situation

Me too buddy I've the same issue

Won’t matter even when it comes up as fees are £15, £18 and £20 for Low Medium and High Priority respectively on mempool right now (11.43am 07/12) which after the BTC buying fee, the BTC transfer fee to move into a payment wallet totalling £20 odd, I draw the line at a third fee.
