What should I do about an order that should've arrived but the vendor went into vacation mode and is seemingly unreachable?

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.

What is this?

Vendors can still log in if they're on vacation mode to answer messages, collect escrow funds, etc. If he can log in to accept your money he can answer your message or, should it come to it, a dispute.

Literally my situation. I ordered Wednesday and it was marked shipped same day. Thursday no pack. Friday no pack. Saturday no pack. Sunday no pack fucking us shit ps, and It didn't come until 5:30 pm today (Monday)

Edit: The parenthesis is for the people who view this thread in the future. I hate when people make these types of posts where they said "it didn't come until today" like bitch how the fuck am I supposed to know what day it was when you wrote that comment. I mean yeah I could look back at the comment date and subtract the days but I'm lazy
