How much longer after the anticipated arrival date should I open a dispute?

I ordered from what seemed like a decent seller off AB. I didn't do MS, but I also didn't FE or anything (I have the option to release the btc from escrow), so that's fine, right? (As in, I can't get screwed that way, can I?)

The vendor marked it as shipped a little over a week ago, and the shipping said 6 day priority, and I haven't received it. I contacted the vendor yesterday ts ask what's up, but no response yet (but that was pretty recent).

What I'm asking is, I'm running out of time to open a dispute, because you have two weeks from the ship date, and a week has already passed. I've read here that vendors often mark it as shipped before it is, so I'm hoping that's what happened, but I'm running out of time if I do need to open a dispute. When should I do that?

Also, how do the disputes work? If there's two days left to dispute and I start it, but AB mods don't fix it in that time, will I automatically lose my btc in escrow? thank you.

When the day before Escrow is up, that is when you should dispute it to extend the escrow clock (or you could do it now to be safe since it is the weekend) Is this US Domestic? USPS is great most of the time, yet other times I had my clearnet packages take over 3 weeks somehow

Two days will be plenty of time but one is the general etiquette.
