Title: How long after officially ordering did it take for the seller to contact you?
Post by: FiddyPysch on January 27, 2013, 02:59 am
Long story short: I have 3 items "Processing" right now. They've all been processing for 25 hours now. One is a marijuana order (1/8th, one is 2C-B (100mg) and one is an Instant-Lotto win I had last night which still hasn't been credited.

How long does it usually take for the sellers to contact you after pressing buy? At what point do you get worried?

It really depends on the vendor, a lot of times it says on the vendor page how long it will take for the order to be sent. If I pay for express and need something asap I might message the vendor a day after I expected the order to be marked in transit but in I am rarely in a hurry so that doesn't happen much. There's no need to worry though, as long as you're in escrow you should be okay.

My first order (1g of MDMA) was put in without any communication to the vendor. Received the package without sharing one word with the vendor.

When I put in my 2nd order (different vendor) the vendor responded to my order within 24 hours.

I don't think communication with the vendor is vital but at the same time it is reassuring. Just wait a bit and give it some time. Patience seems to be key.

If you are that worried and your orders are still processing then just cancel them and message the vendor about their policies.

I'm going to send a short message when the item is shipped. I like to get that when I order so I'll do the same to my customers.

I'm probably just a bit anxious because these are my first true orders.  I still don't get why the guy who works the "Instant 50/50 Lotto" hasn't paid me a day later though, not very "instant" (no I didn't FE or anything, still in escrow).

I think it would be a good habit to be contacting a vendor at the before or after the point of sale.

Obviously, if things were pleasant for you.. let the vendor know. They wouldnt mind.

Some sellers never contact you, don't worry unless you FE'd. In which case you are SOL

Haha no I didn't FE. Not risking that. Just was wondering if its usual to have orders still in the "Processing" stage for a day or two with no vendor contact whatsoever.

Really depends on the vendor. Last night an order I placed got put in transit only 10 minutes after i ordered.

JEALOUS. Damn, that is fucking fast. I've sat here for a few hours now just waiting for something magical to happen. For them to change status, for me to get a message, anything.
