Why do so many packages never arrive?

In the feedback comments of any vendor you'll find "Package arrived after reship" or "got full refund for lost package". Are all of those packages seized by LE? Are all of those packages lost?

The former would mean that way more packages are caught than I thought. The latter would mean that drug packages are lost more often than normal packages. Every item I ever bought from amazon/ebay arrived. So if a package from the DNM doesn't, it is more likely that it was caught by LE than that it was lost, right?

Conclusion would be: way more than 1% of the packages are caught by LE and I am afraid now, because I got multiple open orders :(

What percentage of packages from Amazon are lost?

What percentage of DNM packages are lost?

A few examples don't help much with creating useful statistics.


Did you order domestic or do your packages have to go through German customs?

Mostly scammers trying to fuck vendors.

I'm not sure what vendors you're looking at but the vendors I use have never had any feedback like that. Their packs always arrive. That's why most vendors use priority now too so it can be tracked. Like another thread earlier said about "lost mail." Packages are extremely unlikely to get lost. It can happen once in a blue moon but some people can go their whole life without ever losing a piece of mail in transit.

Mail does genuinely get lost. Also vendors selective scamming is a possibility. As is of course customs detection, which is why you should be choosing vendors with good stealth feedback.

Main reasons are vendors are pushing too many drug packages through the system and are getting profiled. Shitty packaging gets sniffed by dogs or picked out by workers. Also vendors or buyers fault with bad addresses. More rarely buyers attempting to scam but tracking usually covers this. Also USPS sucking at what it does, lazy workers dont bother to deliver package or drop it in someelses box, occasionally theft.

Its a suprise anyone gets their stuff at all considering all the points of failure, consider yourself lucky to get anything at all.

Approximately 3% of my orders don't arrive. I can use a genuine return address so I get most of my non deliveries returned to me. The most common reason is bad addressing, usually wrong house number. Second is the package isn't collected from the post office after an attempted delivery. Third is "Not known at this address"

The difference between Amazon and the DNM's is that DNM users are more likely to be wasted when ordering :)

Vendor doesn't send them?
