Your comment is very misleading. Be care of how you word things or say stuff - this is how false rumours are started...
Here is a message that I got in my "newsletter" from Bling:
This confirms that it will be closing to the public as in not selling to the general public anymore and be selling to shops who want to order wholesale products by the number.
Did you ever recieve that machina?
That’s about a month. It’s within their window but still a long time
I did receive the Machina, this delivery took a while longer than my first order IIRC
I also didn't receive my full order of juice a while back, but with all the hoo-ha going on I decided to just write it off - an amount of less than R200 wasn't worth the stress of trying to get a refund. I've discovered that it's best to choose one's battles.
Imagine my surprise when a few days ago I received an email from Bling telling me that a refund has been processed - and I've since received the money, refunded to my credit card.
It might have taken a long time, but all's well that ends well.

Walked into a buddy's office as he was typing in his credit card details to order a Intake.
He immediately cancelled when I told him about the thread. R100 saving was not worth the effort

Love their name. "Bling" and your money is gone
Received my battery finally yesterday, order was placed on 12 July.
But to be honest it's way better than ordering from china and depending on Sapo to deliver.
I thought they are only doing wholesale orders now.

Tend to agree with you on that one, group buy should qualify for wholesale due to quantity, and I for one would rather wait a month or 2 instead of 5 months and they can’t tell me where my purchase is, PayPal refund might be due if they can’t find it in the next 2 weeks. They don’t know if it’s even been posted or if it actually left China. Airmail my rusty naught, canoe from there it would seem.
Yup 14 September was the cut off date according to their email.

Ok. Is this a cry for help or what? 
Sad ... I know that there were some peeps who had problems with Bling, but it's still sad ... and the poll on FB shows a majority vote for them NOT to close.
In my opinion it is a pity that, in situations like this, we as the buying public seldom get a clear picture of the actual situation.
If South African vendors are being prevented from buying from and selling juice to Bling I would like to know about it. The companies who are allegedly doing this are preventing fair competition. Competition is essential. It results in better prices, improved services and better products to name but a few.
If the evidence was clear that companies A,B and C were involved in this, I for one would never buy from them again as a matter of principle.
This (if the accusations are true) is not a case of companies having a right to sell or buy from whoever they want. It is a form of blackmail to say I will refuse to sell to you if you buy or sell to company X. To be in a position to make this threat you must be a big player.
This practice is very common. The fact that it is common doesn't make it acceptable.
At the end of the day the consumer also suffers.

Politics 
Eish. Seems we have a fair amount of it in the SA Vaping community.

Politics
Until now I was blissfully unaware of this. Are you referring to this matter or are there others ?
Wouldn’t it be nice for some anonymous account or someone to publish all their findings of these so called politics, i would love to see if people(bling) are making mountains out of mole hills or if their is really market manipulation going on.

I know it is a sad commentary on South Africans, but I can believe that Politics played a role unfortunately
I'm with him on that one. People can be so cruel...
