Question about re-shipping on a lost order

Hey all, I used to use SR quite frequently, but after losing a considerable amount of money in the crash I decided to let the market settle. Recently, I started purchasing from DNMs again, namely Agora, but one of my first transactions has hit a snag. I have already ordered from this vendor 3 times. The vendor is reputable, and I received all orders extremely promptly. But something strange happened on the 4th order. I haven't received it in 7+ days whereas the other orders arrived within 2. The vendor and I have been talking back and forth, and the vendor offered me a re-ship or a refund. Now my question is, is re-shipping a bad idea? The vendor said the tracking number produced no results which seems strange to me. I don't want to re-ship if it's just going to disappear again. At the same time, this vendor is receiving 10+ 5/5 feedbacks per day, so I doubt LE is onto the vendor or something like that. I would like to continue doing business with this vendor because he/she is professional and the product is great. Has anyone ever re-shipped on a lost order? Any advice/help is appreciated as I'm not sure what to do. Thanks.

reships are a fairly common occurrence for lost orders. if you're worried you might not receive the reship, have it sent to a friend whom you can trust to hold onto it for you until you can go pick it up.

Reships are not common (at least on USPS's end), either the vendor fucked up or your package got snagged. USPS loses mail, but as a warehouse manage that shipped out tens of thousands of pieces of mail, I only remember USPS losing maybe 1 or 2 packages after 12 years, we did however ship shit to the wrong place on probably a monthly basis. Even if they did nab it, they probably won't watch your house but is the risk worth it? Jail sucks, if its a smaller amount you would probably get probo unless you live in an extremely red state. Its more likely that the vendor fucked up, but if he didn't tell you that I wouldn't assume it. If I were you I would get the refund and stop ordering to your house. Vendor losing packages is not a good sign, go with someone else. He's either too busy and fucking up or his packages are being profiled.

I'd think re-ship with a clean house would be fine. Up to you though
