Is this normal?

They're supposed to "Get around to it" within 48 hrs. However, some don't always comply. I noticed over the weekend (which I give more leeway), I ordered Friday night, and out of 4 orders only one went "in transit" within a matter of hours "Thank you Evilution" ;) Though I took into consideration it was the weekend, and everybody deserves to chill out Saturday into Sunday.
So 3 days? Does that mean since Sunday or Monday? Also look at the time the order was received. Especially if you're in US and they're overseas. (was in my situation-just thinking of the variables)
That being said, you might want to give them a PM asking "is everything alright with my order"?
I've had some that wanted FE because shipping from their particular country to mine is a higher risk, and would only mark it "in transit" if you put "agree to FE" in the 1st line of your address. - Though that's a pretty isolated incident, and that vendor actually is worth taking the chance, in my opinion.
Could be any number of things. Keep checking, and refreshing your orders screen. - Reread the vendors profile page as well. Could be updated info, that they'll be away for a day or two, or something to that effect.
The short answer is, it happens, thankfully not all that often.
I know how frustrating it is. Especially if you were choosing between two vendors, and the one you picked is stalling on the shipping. You're stuck until those 3or 4 days pass that allow you to cancel.
I wish they'd drop that shit myself. If you change your mind, why shouldn't you be able to cancel? But I digress. :-\
Hope that helps. It's the best I got at the moment!
I wish you better luck in the future.

I could change my mind but then doing anything this week, which I normally plan ahead like this isn't going to happen. Praise the lord to MRMERLIN25 for getting my order sent to me even thought I ordered him on the same day. Get some more tina in MRMRERLIN. As for the rest of you. DMTDOODEELSD, CRYSTALMETHOD UK and SONIDRONE, sort your shit out. Turn around time is pathetic, you're running a business!.
-
Still waiting for these to put my order into transit.
Checked DMTDOODEELSD's profile page and he actually says he wont be shipping 'til later this week, so fair play.
SonicDrone and Crystalmethod have not replied to any messages I've sent. First time I've seen a vendor that doesn't put your order into transit with a day or 2. Will be canceling these orders when the time comes around and I'll be warning people about my experience.
Not professional at all in this day and age on SR.
P.S Praise to MRMERLIN25 for his flawless service and products, excellent throughout.
-
Thats very odd. Three at the same time? Definitely not professional.

Dont use crystal method! ordered thurs nite, he sed he posted fri 8th first class. msg him mon, tue, wed this wk hes signed in but not read my msgs? so hes a shit vendor or scammer. both in my opnion, if you look back at his feedback other ppl have had same problems.shoulda waited for merlin25!

The best advice I can give you is to always keep informed of the most up-to-date information on the vendor BEFORE you place your order, you can do this by reading the vendors main page on the marketplace for any 'updates' , checking the vendors marketplace feedback at the bottom of their main page or listing, their overall feedback score (---%) located next to their name, and by checking the forums for the vendor's review thread or any other 'happenings' (I always find the more threads show up when I do my search through the main forum homepage, I recommend you search from there). Three transactions after three days still being marked as 'processing' is unfortunate (but not impossible). Research is key, it can make all the difference between a happy and unhappy transaction. There's a lot of great UK vendors who take pride in their customer service and listings. All the best and happy travels :)

Respectfully, I would disagree with the above quote. I'm experiencing something similar with a vendor as well. I researched his vendor page as well as his feedback, but didn't put as much stock in the forums feedback and that was my mistake. My personal opinion is if you deal with anyone who has a rating less than 100, you're dealing with fire, and even then you can be screwed. You can usually find a vendor update list per what they sell and it should have a really good listing of vendors that are A++++......
The best advice I can give you is that it doesn't help your cause to freak out (like I did), rather it serves your purpose to remain patient - and you may be rewarded for your patience. If not, when the transaction is over, you have your feedback to be honest about and communicate your disappointment in the Rumor Mill in the appropriate vendor reviews.
Best of luck!

I respect your comment too jshizzle23. Always research the forums feedback it's imperative as it will give you the most current information on the vendor. I've dealt with vendors who don't have perfect feedback (90%+) and had great experiences with them, some vendors are large outfits and are dispatching 100's of transactions per week, no matter how great their product is or how fast they ship, somebody may not be satisfied for whatever reason, or it could be a rival vendor trying to bring the vendor's feedback rating down (unfortunately this happens sometimes). Also, if I see a new vendor who's quickly amounted 'too many' 5/5 transactions quickly (unless they're for samples), I would be extremely cautious, it's very easy to fake feedback on a vendors page as there's no way of checking who's left the feedback (all it costs the faker to create their fake rep is SilkRoad's commission). I agree with you too, the vendors who update their vendors page regularly take their business seriously and want your customer satisfaction. If you've stayed in escrow and your order is still processing for more than four days, you'll have the option to cancel your order, your Bitcoins held in escrow will be automatically refunded to you.
