I ordered a package from a very reputable vendor (OGBryan) 10 days ago. I messaged him yesterday asking if he could give me an ETA, because it had been 9 days, and he claims his packages arrive in 2-4. He responded saying that the tracking information says that the package was delivered on Saturday, however I have not received anything.
It is very unlikely that it was stolen post-delivery because all my packages are dropped indoors, not in view of the street.
I'm not really sure what to do now. I messaged OGB telling him this, and asking how he wants to proceed (BTC still in escrow). I've read that in cases like this (but not DMN-related), when a package is marked as delivered and not received, it is worth calling the post office to inquire about the package. How stupid of an idea would this be, considering the contents?
What are my options? Does anyone else have related experiences (and their resolutions) they could share?
If it were me I'd call the post office. I have a friend that I ship stuff to and she's called the post office bitching about her packs being late. Of course she's a lawyer who says that she's waiting on important legal documents but after she talked with the postmaster none of her packs have been late again. Ymmv.
Of course I'm not shipping her anything like weed that would be in a box or even padded envelope. It always just looks like exactly what she said it is - documents.
