Lazy Ass Vendors

I feel like I used to purchase goods and they'd be shipped out in 2-3 days and received by the end of the week. Now I have to order stuff a week and a half, sometimes nearly TWO weeks ahead just to receive my items.

I know this isn't Amazon.com or eBay. But I know over the past 2.5 years of darknetting it hasn't ever been this long for purchases on the regular.

I just hate to make an order, see it ship 5 days later, and then ultimately receive it 5 days after that.

EVEN THOUGH in their PROFILE they all usually say WILL SHIP IN 24-48 Hours Or something similar.

Simply not true. And this is with multiple vendors.

Purchased 5 products on Thursday from top vendors. All BHO.

One shipped Saturday (Solid!) and will probably arrive by the end of the week.

One is set to ship tomorrow and will be here by the end of the week or next week ( Again, Still Pretty Solid!).

The other three haven't been shipped, or Even Approved. The vendors haven't logged on in DAYS. These are established vendors with 50-75 5/5 Feedbacks!

I love it when a vendor logs on 3 or 4 days in a row and your order never gets confirmed or approved.

And also, these purchases were spread across Bluesky, Agora, and Pandora. It's not the marketplace choice.

In the Days Of SR I don't think we ever waited this long regularly for domestic products. Nearly 2 weeks is just too long for domestic products from established vendors imo. I live in a city, not the boonies.

Why, in the days after the fall of SR and Sheep, have some vendors become so negligent of what they do? When all their profiles promise Completely Otherwise??

I realize they are drug dealers and can do what they want. But why let their service as a vendor go to shit?

Is it not good enough money for them? Or they don't appreciate the extra pocket change as their side job?

I'm just frustrated.

Should I just order everything two weeks or more in advance?

Couldn't agree more. It's getting ridiculous. I don't know if it's the huge influx of business or vendors are becoming worse by the minute. Everything started to go to shit when SR1 was seized, everyone started to get greedy and product quality went down dramatically. Of course this doesn't apply to every vendor on all of the DNMs, there are still vendors who deserve our business.

There are ass vendors? Aren't they just refereed to as "pimps"?

Part of the problem is with the customer for rating a transaction 5/5 when the shipping clearly took way longer than was stated, or there was another issue. If your transaction isn't absolutely perfect, why give full 5/5 feedback? Give feedback honestly. Ideally they'd switch to a 10 point scale to aid in this, but that won't happen.

Hmm could be both influx of business or lazy vendor syndrome. Isn't there a way to give vendor feedback on the respective markets? This would at least do something to them to motivate them to be better. Bad feedback means less business...

Dude I agree that vendors can be shitty but they always have been. Sometimes you get that one legit guy who's really fast, but you may get a couple problems.

I seem to be getting from only good vendors right now. The community here is helping a lot.

I agree that it depends a lot on the vendor, which is why i always try to make a point of the shipping/processing times on my feedback and reviews. Whenever I do find a vendor that regularly meets their ETA and the quality of the shipping/stealth is on par, I tend to stick with them - even if their prices are higher. I think that one of the biggest mistakes newer users make is trying to price shop and then base their purchase on whoever's cheapest. I know that this was my MO in the early days of SR 1.0 and I got burned on quality several times. You get what you pay for in terms of the product and in terms of the shipping/stealth and general professionalism from the vendor.

I was going to chime in that USA domestic mail has been considerably slow (but only in some cases) within the last couple of weeks. Once package took almost a full week to get from the west coast to Missouri, but that issue is very different from vendors not logging in, or logging in and not approving orders, etc.
If you can give them a negative review then consider doing so, otherwise they'll keep on doing it. I think a lot of buyers are afraid to give negative feedback because they might want to use the vendor again (because they have no other options) and the vendors may have their personal info / address.
This is one reason why I advertise quick send-out and actually put an effort in to getting people their stuff quickly. I've been on the other end of things before and it is nerve-racking.

The bar is low. SR raised it way up, and without it, its way down. The scams are a symptom of the same issue.

yes, you should start ordering everything 14 days from the time you need it.

MOST e-commerce sites take up to 3-4 days to ship, and most shipping services (USPS priority mail or UPS/FedEx ground) take 7-10 days to arrive.

most industries that are new online, like online narcotics mailing, you will see a competition of people doing all they can to break their necks to provide the best service. what you're seeing now are a) more orders, more customers, so more things to keep up with and b) vendors who realize, rightfully so, that they are providing a good service and if they get behind, but still do their job and ship, that they will be forgiven and moreso rewarded with more business.

unless you're a heroin junkie i don't see the huge issue. and if you always receive anything ordered online in 5 days or less, you must only use huge sites. most streetwear or other things i order from small-er online vendors takes 7-14 days to arrive to me. i don't sweat it.
