Alright, so my drop got a knock on their door today, surprised to see my mail lady. She politely explained that the shipper had taped over the stamp on the package & it needed to be paid for again as the clear tape over the stamp voided it. $6 and some change later, pack is in the dudes hand. Honestly he was freaked about it & I'm pretty annoyed as I see this as a flaw in opsec
I've ordered from this vendor before & everything was smooth. This time took almost a full week (close to the 72hours to ship) & then the whole postage issue...
Edit: for spell & to mention a little about my experience with the vendor
It's normal policy since you could use the stamp again and that way defraud the postal service. Vendor mistakes happen and if he's a decent vendor he will apologize and refund you the 6 usd.
