Possible selective scamming? Vendor Chroncentrates on AB

some may have seen my inquiry yesterday about vendor /r/chroncentrates on AB. Without getting into my personal business, I wanted to find out if anyone has had recent transactions with him. Reason being, i placed an order towards the end of January. I don't like the idea of FE but due to the high number of positive reviews I gave it a go. After a week of not receiving (vendor claims shipping should take no longer than 5 days) I messaged him. he provided me with a tracking number, but when opened it just said a label had been created a week ago but didn't show any shipping updates. When I pointed that out to him he claimed it was a mistake on his end and that he would reship the following day (Friday) with extra, and that I would definitely receive Monday (yesterday) if he did. Nothing. He is now in vacation mode and hasn't responded to my messages.

is it too early to assume anything? I haven't heard of any unresolved situations with this vendor resulting in a buyer getting scammed but just curious as to what any of you may think?

EDIT: REFUND RECEIVED. not a scammer. just very... very... slow. lol.

it's too early! We're here/on point. Truth be told, we heard thrtough some back channels that there was some shit going on with usps, shipnik, and some other commonly used shipping methods.

I delayed shipping the majority of our packs over the weekend, in order to give some of our test packs a chance to arrive safely. Everything is fine in our shop. In the event that in the next 24 hours we decide to stay in vaca mode for a little longer, anyone who hasn't been shipped, will receive a refund. We've got plenty of coin in stock to handle any refunds necessary.

Every time we go on vaca mode, people assume scammer.
IF SOMEBODY IS SCAMMING, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO GO ON VACATION MODE/ STOP ACCEPTING ORDERS!!!!
