I'm having a hard time with this sketchy vendor. Really could use advice.

On 12/6 I ordered a product from budzNdthings on dream market. Later that day there was an update saying 12/6 we are out of product for about a week. Then on 12/18 it supposedly came in and he was shipping out orders. I got a message from him asking for me to send him my address again using privnote because him and his business partners split up and he couldn't read the pgp.

I'm ashamed of the next part, I sent him my address. He then said it shipped. A week later I hadn't received anything and messaged. He explained it was a hectic week and it just shipped last night, despite that night would have been Christmas eve, I guess there is mail on Christmas eve but still it seems odd. I don't think I can cancel the order now. Should I finalize early? Dispute it? I hope I didn't Fuck up but I really might have and I feel so fucking stupid and angry, frankly it's embaressing. Any advice at all would be appreciated.

Don't finalize. Don't finalize. Don't finalize. Until you get product. Dispute if you must with the caveat of getting product. Did I Menton Don't finalize

Okay, we couldn't mention specifics in the noobs sub but this just reassures what I said. Do not send any more personal info to this vendor. He obviously has not got his shit together, or the vendor has been busted and his account is flipped and now under LE control.

No need to feel embarassed, it could have happened to anyone. Sorry it was your first time though, you are handleing this very well IMO.

You should be able to cancel if the item has not been marked shipped yet. If you can't cancel, report the vendor and dispute.

I wouldn't worry about my address being burned because (whoever) can't decrypt the messages. PGP saved you dude. Don't message him anymore. And please make a follow up post and let us know how this turns out. I for one am very interested. Please tag me when you do.

You can drop something in a blue box at any time day or night, doesn't matter if it's a holiday. He very well could have dropped it off on christmas eve, although that doesn't mean USPS will actually receive it and enter it into their tracking system until after they get back from their break and start operating again.
