Title: missing packages - paranoid - lay low?
Post by: pennball3 on July 26, 2013, 11:27 pm
I have made several successful purchases on SR of varying products & vendors over the past few months.  All arrived successfully within a few days via USPS.  Recently, I placed two orders; one 12 days ago and one 9 days ago.  Neither have arrived (yet). 

If neither shows up, have I been "flagged" somehow (USPS or other) and should lay low on making further purchases on SR for a while?

Where are you ordering from? Maybe it's just taking a long-ass time.

I would recommend not making any more purchases until these ones show up, though...

Both vendors have over 99% positive feedback.  One has over 100 transactions, the other has over 300.  Granted one of the shipments was a "free sample" but the other was not.  If they never show up, how long do I have to wait to order something again?  or should I never order on SR again?  (That would suck).

just relax and be patient, the free samples sometimes are sent later as they are free.
don't order anything till you figure it out but be patient. OS or UDM?

One of my packages took 15 days to get to me...  Hang in there a little bit longer.

Yes I live in the US and only order US Domestic b/c I don't want to deal with anything being held up by customs.

Laying low is probably the best idea.

depending on where you live in the us you might wanna lay low, it's always good to have a clean house
anyway. sometimes just takes longer than normal, they don't call it snail mail for nothin'
How long did you say it has been{not including weekends}

In the same situation here. 2 orders from 2 different very trusted sellers and no packages "yet". Been a couple weeks now and Auto Finalize is about to happen.

I always just place one order and wait for it to arrive before I place the next one. In your situation I would just lay low for a while, clean house and wait

always best to err on the side of caution till you know what's going on
if niether show up, wouldnt use that address anymore.

The purchase FINALLY arrived.  Free sample never did, but I'm thinking that the very busy seller just forgot to mail them (maybe).  Am I OK now to buy again?  Surely there are missing packages on here all the time.
