Title: Vendor katnip999 - anyone missing their order?
Post by: PurpleTrees on January 06, 2013, 04:05 am
I ordered from katnip999 two weeks ago (domestic) and he messaged me the next day saying it was going out that evening and changed it to "in transit", saying he would let me know once it'd been sent. No confirmation came and nothing got here, and a week later he put an apologetic message on his profile (http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/f73e87df12) saying he had promised 10 people their orders and then hadn't shipped them, but would be doing so straight away, so I kept waiting.

Another week has gone by with no package, and since his profile change only one person has left him feedback, so I'm starting to wonder where he and those other 9 orders went. I'm a couple of days away from auto finalize and he's stopped logging in, for just under 4 days now, so no replies to messages either. His profile update said he's back to same-day shipping, I'm not sure how that can be the case if he's not online to take new orders or read messages.

I have ordered from him previously and the package was very delayed, but it got here eventually with underpaid postage. He was also very apologetic that time and admitted he had made the postage error with 8 orders. His communication was good and he seemed like a decent guy so I paid the extra postage and left him good feedback. I'd like to think that this time round it's just another case of being unorganised, but it's starting to look less likely as time goes on.

Is anyone else missing their order from katnip999, and if so have you had any luck contacting him to find out what the situation is?

I was still waiting for him but I'm going to have to put it into resolution now to avoid auto finalizing. I don't like the idea of my stats taking a hit but I'm going to ask for a refund, there's no point in extending the time and keeping my coins tied up indefinitely if the vendor isn't even logging in any more. Hopefully either katnip999 will turn up and sort things out or SR staff will side with the buyers when they see the details of the situation.

Updating this thread to say katnip999 had a few issues outside of SR but is now back. I got my order, with some extra thrown in for the delay.

He mentioned that he had more left to send after mine had gone out so it may have taken a bit longer for yours. I know he had a backlog of messages so you could try and send a polite reminder in case he's overlooked it for any reason.
