Title: Doubt about Purchase, FE ..
Post by: ilovepapel on January 07, 2013, 04:50 pm
Hello, I'm new at Silk, and end up making a purchase, have a purchase order. The order meets the following message: "In Transit". My question is simple, I need to finalize the order before or after you receive the package?

You have to finalize AFTER you receive the product. Try to do it as soon as possible when you get the staff and check if everything's alright (weight etc) so the vendor can get his money.
If you finalize before, it's called FE (finalize early) and it's a dangerous situation for the buyer so avoid it.

Also if the vendor asked you to FE, which I supposed happened, you can tell him to cancel the order, or do it if you feel you can trust him (not recommended though). I have FE'd only under special conditions, I was a new buyer, the vendor had excellent and lengthy feedback and I ordered very small quantities. Never do it if you don't feel sure about it.

Hm, my seller asked me to finalize the order, so he could send me the product. Am I being scammed? The message sent by him was this:

" FrankMatthews (97) Thank you for ordering at store FRANK MATTHEWS

Please ORDER your FE. So i can ship asap!


Frank. "

I have finished the purchase, what should I do now?

Depends on his policy's if you read his profile page it should state his terms. Never used him so I cannot comment personally

Presumably just wait for delivery
