Title: JAYESH ORDER THREAD
Post by: fumanchu on April 29, 2013, 09:42 pm
Anybody else waiting on an order from Jayesh? Figured I'd make a thread for the downtime, hopefully Jayesh will stop in and clear some things up at some point

Anyways, I placed an order last Wednesday (after the last DDoS snafu), and on Thursday Jayesh marked it "In Transit"...  Now I've ordered 50+ times on here, and I've ordered from the most remote parts of the States (including the opposite coast) and my choice shipping method is USPS Priority, granted there have been a few times when I've used other shipping methods, but 98% of the time I choose Priority... In all 50+ orders I've purchased on here (the vast majority of those being priority mail), I've never had an order take 3 business days, and like I said I've ordered from locations that are as physically far away from me as you can possibly get before hitting the ocean. Whenever I order Priority; it's always here in 2 business days, ALWAYS. Never once has Priority mail taken 3 days, not in my 50+ transactions here, nor have I had just a regular (non-drug) Priority package take 3 days to get here (not even during the Holiday seasons).

It was marked shipped on Thursday, meaning that today (Monday) is the 3rd day and still no sign of it. Only thing I can possibly think of is that the vendor did not actually ship it when he marked it shipped... maybe he marked it shipped as he was boxing it up or something, and didn't actually get to the post office to send it out that day.

Anybody else waiting on a Jayesh order during this downtime? Just wondering if anyone else is out there

i have had priority take 6 days once. But usually never more than 3 days from coast to coast. My guess is to wait it out. USPS lags sometimes.

Yeah, I'm figuring its just a hold up on behalf of USPS.

Just seems strange that in 50+ boxes I've received off SR, and all the stuff I buy off Etsy (I vend on Etsy and buy/trade very regularly) I've NEVER had a Priority Mail box take more than two days. And like I said I literally cannot even count how many Priority packages I get. Usually 1-2 per week.

I was able to log into SR on Saturday morning and send Jayesh a message requesting the tracking information. However, I was obviously unable to get back on to check my messages (and I doubt Jayesh woulda been able to log on to send me one anyways). I sent him a message on Saturday because that was the day I was expecting it (shipped Thursday, so Sat woulda been the 2nd day) and it didn't show up. Hopefully this is just a snafu on behalf of USPS and some overworked and underpaid employee just dropped the ball this time. The only other possibility is Jayesh didn't ship it when he claimed to... and he's been on here long enough, he's put in the time and work, and built an honest reputation for himself so I'm not going to go jumping to conclusions and saying he marked it shipped when it wasn't... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here, and keep my fingers crossed that it will show up tomorrow. Today was the third business day, and tomorrow is the fourth so if it's not here tomorrow or maybe by Wednesday at the VERY latest (5 business days), then I'm going to be getting a little worried...

Hopefully this is just a USPS fuck up, or delay. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying that it shows up tomorrow...

When did this latest DDoS attack start? Anybody know? Cause I was able to log on fine on Saturday morning and send Jayesh a message. So I'm thinking even IF jayesh didn't make it to the post office when he marked it "in transit" on Thursday, if SR was still up and running until sometime mid-day on Saturday (or later), then he should have at least gotten to the Post Office to ship it on Friday or Saturday.
