Intercepted or scammed?

For purposes of anonymity, I apologize, but this will be a little vague.

Ordered about a month ago from a reputable vendor. US to US. Not a huge order. Never came. Vendor has been communicative. Partial refund given. No tracking.

Shouldn't have taken more than 6 days to arrive. After a month, no love letter. No knock on door. No flashbang through door. No phone call.

How common do they just intercept shit and keep quiet about it for this long?

What did the tracking say? If you weren't supplied tracking, then I'd generally lean towards a scam. ON the hand, its great the vendor communicated with you, BUT on the other, if they are scamming, this is a nice, tidy way of doing it.

Ask for tracking. I assumed you FE'd? And no, packs don't just disappear. USPS is pretty good at what they do, albeit sometimes things take longer, but its not terribly often. USPS usually doesn't just lose shit. If it was shipped, it'll turn up. But all of these burning questions could be answered cogently with a tracking number. Get a tracking number. If you can't be provided one, I'd demand 100% refund. Although if you FE'd, good luck with that. But you could still leave a review.

It's hard to say for sure what actually happened to your package.

Not a huge order. Never came. Vendor has been communicative. Partial refund given. No tracking.

To me it seems like it wouldn't be worth scamming you over. The fact he was communicative and gave you half your money back shows the vendor does give a shit about his customers. In the vendors eyes it could easily be the other way round and you could be lying, the vendor doesn't want to get scammed just as much as you don't.

Might just show up months down the road. There is about 0 likelihood that LE would wait and let anyone clean house and all. My guess is usps either delivered to the wrong address or its floating round the mail system.

Could be floating around in the mail. This can happen sometimes with them.

Probably scammed. Just because a vendor is reputable, that doesn't mean they won't selectively scam or worst.
