I feel like I used to purchase goods and they'd be shipped out in 2-3 days and received by the end of the week. Now I have to order stuff a week and a half, sometimes nearly TWO weeks ahead just to receive my items.
I know this isn't Amazon.com or eBay. But I know over the past 2.5 years of darknetting it hasn't ever been this long for purchases on the regular.
I just hate to make an order, see it ship 5 days later, and then ultimately receive it 5 days after that.
EVEN THOUGH in their PROFILE they all usually say WILL SHIP IN 24-48 Hours Or something similar.
Simply not true. And this is with multiple vendors.
Purchased 5 products on Thursday from top vendors. All BHO.
One shipped Saturday (Solid!) and will probably arrive by the end of the week.
One is set to ship tomorrow and will be here by the end of the week or next week ( Again, Still Pretty Solid!).
The other three haven't been shipped, or Even Approved. The vendors haven't logged on in DAYS. These are established vendors with 50-75 5/5 Feedbacks!
I love it when a vendor logs on 3 or 4 days in a row and your order never gets confirmed or approved.
And also, these purchases were spread across Bluesky, Agora, and Pandora. It's not the marketplace choice.
In the Days Of SR I don't think we ever waited this long regularly for domestic products. Nearly 2 weeks is just too long for domestic products from established vendors imo. I live in a city, not the boonies.
Why, in the days after the fall of SR and Sheep, have some vendors become so negligent of what they do? When all their profiles promise Completely Otherwise??
I realize they are drug dealers and can do what they want. But why let their service as a vendor go to shit?
Is it not good enough money for them? Or they don't appreciate the extra pocket change as their side job?
I'm just frustrated.
Should I just order everything two weeks or more in advance?
Couldn't agree more. It's getting ridiculous. I don't know if it's the huge influx of business or vendors are becoming worse by the minute. Everything started to go to shit when SR1 was seized, everyone started to get greedy and product quality went down dramatically. Of course this doesn't apply to every vendor on all of the DNMs, there are still vendors who deserve our business.
