Dannyboone

I have ordered 100 tabs of 25i-nbome from Dannyboone to be sent to Australia. I finalized early as he seemed to be a reputable seller.
That was the 22nd of June 2012, and the package was sent the following monday. It has now been a week since he shipped the item and it has not arrived yet.
I got a little worried as Dannyboone said shipping should only take 3 days, so I sent him a message on Silk Road after 3 days had passed and he has not responded yet (4 days later).
On his seller page it says he will return to business on Monday (Yesterday) from a short holiday, yet monday has passed and still no reply messages.
No tracking number has been supplied, and all my messages to him have been about requesting a tracking number.
Thanks for listening I hope to get some answers soon,

The first thing I have to say is you should never FE if there is any way around it. Find another vendor who sells in escrow. I realize this isn't always possible. If you have no choice you should at least check the forums to see what other people may be saying about the vendor and you should also check all the feedback.
Enough about that. You really should have waited before creating this post. Too many people jump on the forums and post 'Where is he' or 'Is he a scammer?' when it has only been a few days since they placed the order. This is a holiday weekend for many. Just because the vendor said he would be back Monday and you haven't heard from them is no reason to start panicking and posting. There are dozens of reasons a package could be delayed or the vendor isn't back yet. Maybe he partied so hard he needed another day to recover.
My suggestion is to sit back, relax and wait until tomorrow to see if your package arrives. If it doesn't, give the guy another day or so to answer you. If at that point he still hasn't responded, then it's time to make another post. But don't post asking where he is or saying they are a scammer just yet. Make a post asking for other members who have dealt with the vendor what their experience has been like, that sort of thing. See if other buyers have any problems.
In the end, because you FE'd, there isn't much you can do about it if the vendor simply disappears or refuses to reply to your PM's. You will simply have to chalk it up to experience and keep it in mind for future transactions. That doesn't mean you cannot post a PM to SR admin explaining the situation and what happened to you. They won't be able to do anything for you, but at least they will know something happened and may look closer at the vendor. But don't do any of that until you have given the vendor enough time to respond. Don't go shouting scammer until you are absolutely sure you aren't getting your package, or a refund of some sort.

Checked the mail again today, still nothing
Checked the messages on Silk Road again today, still no word from him
Dannyboone is likely to have scammed me, and I will make a full report/thread at the end of the week
VERY disappointed as this was my first order and feel like I have lost all hope in Silk Road :'(
-
Bump. So what happened?
-
Yeah, Whats going on with that? Updates please!

Honestly before jumping to conclusions and accusing a seller is a scammer you need to consider all of the possibilities.. Your package may have been seized by customs; which i have heard Australia's customs are terrible to get through, or could just be taking an extremely long time to arrive. Taking a look at dannyboones feedback he seems to be a very reputable dealer but u never know hope things work out

Same problem here . Took a week to process and it's been a week for domestic shipping?!?!?!?? I got a package from Amsterdam in 10 days. I haven't finalize. I just wish the dude would answer my PM's.
-
Same shit here.........man what agonizing times with so many questions with the vendors on here.

I've been having trouble with danny the past month. I'm actually surprised to see this thread as his feedback is glowing and I had a successful transaction with him in the past. In short, I tried to get some tabs that he would have to custom make (a strength he doesn't offer). But he said he could do it ... When the letter didn't arrive a week later (domestic), I started to try to communicate with him in pm and received very few and mostly odd responses over the course of 3 weeks.
He eventually promised me a tracking number, then 4 days later (once resolution expired) offered me a 50% refund. When I countered with a 90% refund he sent me a tracking number that remains dead (given 3 days ago). Now I wait for SR to finalize this as resolution expires yet again today.
50 transactions and this is my first non-receipt. Bummer.
-
There should be no excuses for domestic. Particularly with a DCN being dead. Nothing less than 100% in this case. If he reads this he better just cancel my order now because he is not getting shit from me but a hell storm.
-
I finally got the envelope. The tracking number was slightly off, that's why it never went live. But all went well. I hope everyone else's order comes through as well.

slow, but came through. Hopefully quicker next time. ;)
