I suspect a scammer. He appeared 11 days ago with a very generic profile/listing, after I ordered 2 days later he marked it shipped, 2 days after that he messaged me saying he lost my address and needed it again, then he said he had shipped it express and it hasn't arrived when it should. He's removed all his listings, hasn't logged in in days and hasn't responded to a message. He's also received no other feedback at all, so I figure either I'm the only one who ordered or other people are still waiting for their parcels too.
Anyone else?
-
I ordered from him too and am waiting. Let's give him a chance and see what happens

I posted a topic on this yesterday, although I left out the vendor name in order to give him the benefit of the doubt. It seems everyone who has ordered off him has the same story, although he didn't ask to FE, so not sure how he could be a scammer? Perhaps he got done, had a big weekend, or who knows what else, but it's certainly not looking promising.
As I was advised yesterday, make sure your house is clean and don't under any circumstances sign for a package.

I can't imagine it'd be a sting operation. It'd have to be a federal issue because it's not isolated to a single state, so they would be spending a lot of time and resources just go to after a few buyers, especially considering how minor the possession charge is for smaller amounts here. It'd also be impossible to build a case against any buyer unless they confessed; it's purely circumstantial that a package arrives at your house, especially if it's addressed to someone else.
Lesson learned I guess, next time I'll order a small sample first or wait for a new vendor to get feedback.

Well still nothing, supposed to be here express post by Tuesday at the latest.
It is now Thursday. Where is this fella
-
Didn't try him, hope you guys get your shit!

I think we can safely say this guy has fallen through... Oh well, funds are in escrow, so no huge deal, bit of a pain in the ass but...

I am sure that the only way a SR vendor can get busted is by loose lips
on their end.
Also, anything could have happened to him or his PC
He said he had a power outage, that could have caused a PC failure
-
He checked in to SR today but no messages and no resolution and still
no envelope.
How does one talk to an admin about this
-
if you didn't finalised early, you can go thru the resolution process in the orders page, but if you did FE, sorry but you may be screwed, sorry amigo!
If he was answering msgs it'd be a whole lot easier for you!
