Hey all, basically I made an order last Tuesday from Nightowlclinic on Alphabay and he marked it shipped Wednesday which was normal and all. Unfortunately on Friday they went into vacation mode since their next batch wouldn't have been up to par according to their profile. The issue is that I ordered the priority mail shipping and it should've been delivered by last Friday or Saturday, and it still wasn't delivered by today. Their profile says they ship the same day before 8a.m. EST so it should've gone out Wednesday. They haven't been online since Friday and I sent a message yesterday just to check if they were able to ship the order before they ran out, but it seems they're gone.
Do I open up a dispute since I paid for the faster shipping and I'm getting no response from NOC, or wait longer? My money is completely escrowed with ~7 days left until it finalizes automatically so I'm not too worried, but this situation hasn't happened before and I don't know the proper thing to do. Thanks for any advice
Same exact shit happened to me with the same vendor months ago. Wait till the day before it autofinalizes then open dispute. Don't dispute early, the admins hate that shit. I ended up winning dispute btw. Actually NOC ended up refunding me at the very last minute.
