Title: Was I forgotten by the vendor?
Post by: Mr. M. on September 28, 2013, 09:14 am
Uh, it's me again.
So after Jannis said that it's impossible to ship to Belarus and Russia for the time being I went looking for the alternatives, and stumbled upon Alaska.
So I asked them if they're okay with shipping to me and after 5 days got a response that "I'd be welcomed if I FE".
Well, looks reasonable, I thought, I'm new and have no history after all, gotta earn that trust somehow.

And once again I ordered the acid, this time finalizing early (somewhat ~5 hours after placing the order).
And now it's been 9 days since I FEd and there wasn't a single message about the envelope. And don't get me wrong, I'll never bug a vendor about the delivery if the vendor reassures me that he did his job, which IS the problem this time - I did what I was asked to do and, well, I hoped that I'd at least get a "it's sent" as a message.


Am I panicking for nothing and it's actually fine? I just don't know how it's supposed to be since I was forced to FE because I'm new, otherwise there'd be no shipment.

And again, don't get me wrong. I don't want to look like some omg-I-got-scammed guy, I just want to know if it's fine asking the one who you order from for reassurance. Because the guy(s) have been online a couple of times in these last 9 days and over that time I sent him 5 messages which were never read. No, not the whiny ones you might think. Or maybe I'm thinking for others too much.

you should never FE. once you FE there is no way to resolve the order with the help of SR admin.
unfortunately you're on your own now. just looked and saw Alaska is active today. he has a great rating and a lot of transactions. leave a message in the discuss section on his vendor page and see what happens.
also you have to consider international shipping can take more then 14 days sometimes. people usually hit resolve b4 the auto-finalise and extend the days for the order to come.
good luck.

Thanks for the reply.

Well I know FE should never be done, but I had no options this time.
Thanks for suggesting to post in discuss section, I'll try.
And there's no problem with the shipping itself, as I said I'd never even say anything to a vendor about it because I know the delivery can be unpredictable. I'd wait for a month if I had to, I just want to know that there's no problem on the vendor's end.

Now I'm off to see if I can get his attention. :\
