Title: anyone have any info on what happened to the vendor, Drxtc?
Post by: thereisnofork on September 09, 2013, 08:33 pm
Hey all,
I placed an order last week with him (first one with this vendor) as he was a well reputable domestic vendor with a decent price.
I got it with tracking, no FE required, and it was marked in transit on Wednesday.
Past orders I have got that were express arrived in 2 days from a similar distance.
So on Friday when there was nothing, I sent a message just inquiring about it and wondering if he could shed some light on its location.
He has yet to even read my message.
He was not online for close to 5 days (from Thursday to just an hour ago he logged on).
I am still waiting for any sort of communication from him.
The strange thing is, a few people have posted positive feedback since then saying everything was legit.
BUT, on his discussion page there is one other person that also ordered domestic express with tracking and has yet to receive his order, and he lives in the same province as the vendor.
Something just doesn't seem right.

Anyone use this vendor lately?
I still have 13 days till auto-finalize so should I just wait a bit longer?
what do you guys think the best thing to do right now is?
If it doesn't work out how much is this going to hurt my buyer stats? (this would of been my 3rd successful order)
Thanks for any advice, time to smoke a bowl

From what other people on here have talked about, he is usually right on top of things with a quickness.  I made an order last Thursday night and it was processing for the whole 5 days, so I just cancelled my order after seeing that he had not signed on in 5 days.  I imagine something just came up, went out of town or anything.  It's still hard to imagine that a vendor of his size and the amount of products that he had listed would just not sign on in a week.  I'm sure you will get a reply back, no telling when though.  He probably had a hundred messages when he finally signed back on.  Unfortunately he lost my business in the process as well as two other members that I've talked about, between the 3 of us, it was roughly $1000.  Hopefully he will come through with your delivery or at least give you a heads up of what is going on.  Things do happen.  BTW.. I also noticed that some of his listings disappeared while he was away, not sure how that happens, but one of them was what I ordered, kinda glad I was able to cancel before he signed back on.  I keep seeing situations where vendors are accepting sales for items they have yet to restock and shipping times being longer and longer.  Good luck on everything though.

yea I was kind of thinking he probably has tons of messages.
I guess i'll wait a couple more days before trying to send another, don't want to clog up his inbox
