Title: Help with first purchase - I think I screwed up
Post by: golferkid4200 on March 20, 2012, 11:19 pm
Hi all, So I made my first purchase from a very reputable buyer. I placed the order Sunday night and it is now Tuesday night and it is still processing? Should I be worried? I know sellers have lives too so I shouldn't worry, right?

Now the part where I screwed up. Not only did I NOT encrypt my home address, I used my real name! I messaged the seller but he never responded (he's been online everyday so I have to assume he got it). Should I be worried? Is this why the order is still processing? Thanks guys for the help and insight. I am so excited to be part of this community.

I've had orders processing for a week sometimes don't worry. Using your real name is fine and probably better than using a fake. You should get into the habit of encrypting all messages but with a reputable vendor forgetting once should not be an issue especially as its your 1st order.

Enjoy the road.

He might just not be ready to ship yet. Give him time.

And using a fake name to your home address is not really a good idea IMO; fake names are better used for drops since the mailman knows who lives at your home.

exactly what the first two responses said, using your real name if its to your house is better and don't freak out you ordered from a reputable vendor for a reason you will get you shit.

Patience is a virtue :)

Thanks for the replies. makes sense. UPDATE: I heard back from the seller and he was so cool and understanding given I am first time buyer. He told me he shipped it out Tuesday. Fantastic. only catch is it is now Wednesday night and my order still says processing -- is this normal?
