Title: Did I screw this up?
Post by: Fesenko on April 06, 2012, 02:27 am
Hi there. Been lurking on the forums for a while and decided to make my first purchase. Only problem is that I think I made a mistake. I placed the order with a trusted vendor without having placed any orders before. Once I saw that the order was "in transit", I thought I was good until the package arrived and then I would finalize. So I've been waiting patiently, but no package yet. I was looking around at other vendors and they tell us noobs to finalize early when it says in transit. My vendor did not say to do this though. I think at this moment I'm fucked because my vendor does not have any more product for sale. What do I do? Do I finalize early and hope it comes or do I have to go about cancelling my order somehow? Help!

well who's your vendor? if they are indeed an established and "trusted" vendor then you are probably ok. word of advice though, keep your money in escrow until you package arrives and finalize once received.

Contact the vendor and ask if it's been sent, when I was a new buyer I always finalized early my orders because I thought that was the norm but if they don't want you too FE and you do then they can lose track of your order and presume you already have it. Just leave it in transit and ask them what's going on.

Ok, I contacted my vendor and am awaiting a reply. I'm keeping it "in transit" until I hear back. Thanks guys!

first time buyers are sometimes asked to FE, generally it's really dangerous.
You'd wanna make sure you know the whole situation and the vendor very well before FE.
