Hi all,
I was a customer of AJ from 2016-2020.
He always had the best gear/comms, so when I started receiving emails from the AusJuice domain a few months ago, I was skeptical, but excited to hopefully have a solid source again. I’ve held off putting in an order to see if more information came to light or if others could verify him.
After seeing UGLOZ pop up under the original AusJuice’s account on Eroids (+ changing the listing their accordingly) and then finding this thread, I decided to do some digging.
Before I get into the meat and potatoes, I understand this account was created today and was only created to post this. So if admins/mods would like to verify anything I cover off, I’m more than happy to do so without exposing PII.
My only motivation here is to help verify the real AJ, so I can have confidence in a quality source again.
Enough throat clearing…
I’d like to preface this likely long ass post with the fact that I don’t doubt whoever is behind the AusJuice.com now is sending quality gear. So if you order from them, you’ll likely get what you want and it will likely be good quality gear based on what I’ve been reading, and the tests they’ve provided.
However, I’m all but certain
they aren’t the original/real AusJuice and that
UGLOZ (evolutionary.org) is.
There’s two parts to me reaching that conclusion that I’ll break down.
1. UGLOZ being able to verify all orders I placed under an email I account I used during 2019/20 and replying to order queries from his original support admin email.
2. The current AusJuice.com operators claim to legitimacy is all based on him owning the domains, specifically the AusJuice.com domain, from 2018 until now — which he did not.
First the verified orders.
He was able to verify all orders under that email.
Here’s screenshots of one of the orders he gave for verification:

And here’s the original email when I placed the order:

I’ve redacted any PII, although I’ve left enough for anyone to see it’s legit.
He was also able to get access to his old support email address and reply to a support ticket I created in 2020.

Of course, playing devils advocate here, screenshots can be faked. So if you’re an AJ buyer and skeptical, go and ask for the same info yourself and I’m sure you'll get it.
Now onto the domain ownership.
This one confused me because it took me the best part of 5 minutes to realise the current owner of AusJuice.com didn’t own that domain from 2018 until now. So I really don’t know why he claimed this and puts so much emphasis on it.
You can view full domain history of any domain using whois’s history tool. You can sign up for a free acc and do the same search I did here:

A few things I noted for people who cbf doing that. This is pulled directly from a report generated using the above link for anyone who wants to verify it themselves.
November 29, 2018
- Name servers are changed to interimnameservers.com
- Domain register changed to "DropJump"
- A quick Google search confirms these are tied back to:
https://snapnames.com/
- Snap names have a domain backorder service to snipe domains when they become available
December 2, 2018
- A few days later, contact details are updated to Danny Sullivan.
-
[email protected]
- A quick Google search of that email and name shows he's an avid domain sniper/reseller, shows up in multiple forums with people complaining about losing their domain and him selling them on + others selling domains with his email listed etc.
- From 2018 till 2022 the DNS records, owner name and what not bounce around. This is common when trying to sell a domain.
March 10, 2022
- This is the last time Danny Sullivan (
[email protected]) was listed as the domain owner. From June 7, 2022 the owner info is redacted. Potentially when whoever owns the domain now acquired it.
Honestly there’s a whole bunch of other random stuff I’ve found that leads me to believe the current owner didn’t own and wasn’t in control of that domain from 2018 like he says. Hence isn’t the real AusJuice.
A way back machine search shows the domain for sale on dan.com in 2020. Search AusJuice.com here:
https://web.archive.org/
Something else that’s strange af is that you can buy the domain right now on Dan.com for $9,995 usd. Sometimes you can “backorder” domains, but this listing, as far as I can tell is to buy the domain (it says you’ll have access in less than 24-hours and that's at the point of paying for it…).
I cbf writing anymore.
Don’t take what I’ve said here at face value, do your own research, verify everything for yourself. I’m sure you’ll come to similar conclusions.
TLDR: All the facts lead me to believe UGLOZ (evolutionary.org) is the original/real AusJuice.com/AusJuice.is/AusMeds.is owner. The current AusJuice.com owner is by all reports sending good quality gear and shipping orders on time, although he ain’t the OG AJ imo.
