hi fellow reluctant criminals. I ordered from a seller on AB and he marked it as shipped around 2 weeks ago. After about a week I messaged him because I hadn't gotten it and the shipping said 5 days max. He said he was sorry, that he shipped it late, that it should arrive by midweek. That has come and gone, and time was running low, so I entered a dispute. I emailed him about a day before that, with no response.
That's not really what my question is about though. I've read his reviews here and while half of them say he's a dirty scammer, the other half say he's simply really shitty with shipping and they got their package, albeit weeks late.
So it seems like there are 3 options. 1, he scammed me, 2, it's atually in the mail, but even later than his corrected ship target, or 3, it got seized by the USPS.
I haven't gotten a love letter or anything, but what are the chances of that? Do they ever just seize something and hold it without doing anything else, but with the plan to go after you if you get anything else?
My question is basically, would it be foolish to buy from another seller?
Just sounds like a shitty vendor to me and you should have known better by researching the vendor prior to ordering.
