I feel like an idiot for asking but... (alphabay question)

First off sorry if this is answered elsewhere, I just don't know how I would go about finding it easily considering how we don't exactly have google. I've just started using alphabay, I started in what now seems like the stone age of DNMs (when they first started markets instead of direct deals). I was on alphabay and I had never seen as many listings in my life.

Now onto the important stuff, I decided to try out alphabay and some new vendors from there. I placed two orders, each with a different vendor. It's been approx 72 hours and they still say 'processing', I obviously checked the vendor's last online times and while one has apparently been taking a holiday the other has logged in as recently today. The whole thing has me confused, is there no 'accepted' or something similar to let me know the vendor is filling my order and plans to ship it soon or do I just have to wait for it to ship? Also can I cancel an order at this point, like let's say the holidays are long gone and it's still sitting there. Will I need to go through reclamations or since the vendor hasn't accepted it will I just be allowed to cancel it?

Sorry for all the stupid questions guys, I appreciate anyone who tries to help answer - or is at least able to make me laugh. (Please don't be a straight up jerk).

I think ab goes right to shipped so the vendor has the ship it before you get an update

Don't worry, itll auto refund your money very soon, if they dont ship. Alphabay has no way for vendors to let you know they accepted the order but didnt ship it yet. Kind of annoying but whatever...

Its processing up until the vendor marks it shipped, in which case the 14 day counter to auto-finalize begins.

Depending on your true north moral compass. You have a few options.

1 Just wait and see. (Iv had vendors ship orders, then not accept them and the coin gets returned = Free drugs)

2 Message the vendor with a friendly "Hey iv placed an order mate(Followed by some BS question) and see if said vendor replies.

3 Cancel order go elsewere(Self explantory)

Hope that helps mate.

Hey yeah so the guys are probably on holiday break for a tiny bit. But usually it does take about 2-3 days to get that shipped sign out there. When you do it usually means they put it in the blue drop boxes at various locations on that day or the day beforehand.

Alphabay does not have an accepted option for vendors like Nucleus does, which is quite annoying for us.

Buyers are not able to cancel orders, but after 72 hours of not being marked shipped the order will auto-decline.

Some vendors won't remove listings or go into vacation mode while awaiting restock, anticipating that their restock delivery is about to arrive and they can quickly fill all of the orders building up. Your vendors maybe out of stock... Ask him what's up, and to either ship and provide tracking, or refund. (no such thing as stupid questions, that's how we learn.. ;)
