Ordered a package from a vendor on dream market. After about a week and a half of waiting after package was marked shipped, messeged them and asked what the deal was. Was informed that an employee of theirs had stolen from them and hadn't mailed packages, also informed that they would send out my pack. That was about a week ago, vendor is still communicating but I'm not sure how to handle this. If it's actually not on them I want to let them figure their shit out. But damn, 3 weeks is a long time... Should I dispute or keep waiting?
Sounds like a load of bull shit to me. None of that is any of your problem, even if it was true.
" If it's actually not on them I want to let them figure their shit out."
It's totally on them. I'd get ready for a dispute. And you should name and shame the vendor to help out the rest of the community. Although most vendors don't post or comment here, I garauntee that 95% of them lurk here. So there's a good chance he'll see this post and get his shit together in one paper bag. Good luck, stay safe.
