Vendors who mark shipped but isnt actually shipped

Does anyone else believe orders shouldn't be marked shipped unless it was actually dropped off to be shipped off or at least processed and ready to ship? Isn't that standard practice?

I ordered pressed MDMA pilla from Rex for the intent of having and consuming them on the weekend. I ordered early Monday morning and it was marked shipped the very next morning. From habit and experience, I figured I'd have 2-3 days of waiting from then on. Checked my USPS today to find out USPS is just now getting my tracking/shipment info 3 days after getting marked shipped.

I don't know whether its cause the order was FE or that Rex is extremely busy, but it's kind of a huge buzzkill thinking I'd have it by the weekend if ordered early enough In the week just to be very wrong.

Some vendors say it's for security

It does happen often and I'm not so sure why. Because if they mark shipped then don't actually ship it until days later, customers will think their packages are late, raising suspicions and some even get bad anxiety and paranoia about it. Which can cause them to either leave bad feedback or make posts expressing their concerns. I don't blame them either, mark it shipped when you ship it!

I only mark ship after it has been dropped in the blue bin.

Yeah, this is easily my biggest pet-peeve from vendors. I try to know an accurate incoming date and it totally fucks with it, and gives me major anxiety if there's no tracking. Rex marked my product shipped before it was shipped as well. His stealth is pretty next level though so I'm sure it takes him a while to process all the orders, but that doesn't really make any reason why it needs to be marked shipped early. I would kinda understand on FE orders so that the funds will be released, but doesn't make any sense with a DD.

I agree it's BS and happens way too often.

I'm still not sure when nrp shipped my pack..it's been 9 days..

vendors with high volume and not enough people to process them always struggle with shipping on time. it takes me a week to get a response from technohippy


[1 Points] coffeencreme:

Yeah I agree with you. Shipped to me means it's actually physically gone. Not that they have printed off your address label or that they will put it in the post in a while or whatever.


[1 Points] Just-Touch-It:

Yeah I agree but I think it's a difficult thing to prove or enforce them to do. Some vendors are real cool and upfront about it while others take their sweet ass time to limit runs to the Post office.

Pretty sure tripwithscience does this. Slow as fuck shipping.


[1 Points] alwayschasin:

I hate it too. But I can guarantee that just like any auction site such as eBay or kijiji where the seller is not a retailer that it happens every day.

It sucks so much though. I've been waiting for a domestic pack since last Tuesday and hasn't arrived yet. Domestic Canada post should be 4 business days. It's now like 7.

some vendors cant get on the computer all the time so they mark ship to avoid going back and forth...then u got the people who just want the auto finalize $$


[1 Points] alwayschasin:

There is also the possibility that vendors are slowing shipping down to try and make more money by having people select a quicker shipping option. Which is more expensive.

The vendor i purchased from has a 5x more expensive Xpresspost option

YOOO! This is the exact same thing that happened to me! same vendor- Ordered monday, was marked shipped next day- Myusps says it left today....smh Me and all my boys were relying on that pack and it may not make it in time for the music festival.

Is there any way I can somehow get it overnight?

3 days is a little excessive but even big clearnet merchants ship that slow.

also, rex is a big name and was probably busy as fuck. ever tried shipping a lot of packs on the regular?

also, its hard to hire people for illegal work. lots of opsec problems....so very large vendors are often just one guy, or maybe 2 or 3.

finally, alphabay doesnt allow them to accept an order without marking shipped. if youre on alphabay, blame the market.

anyway, have you tried asking him politely? maybe he can tell you why it took so long.

anyway, not trying to defend him, but dont expect darknet shit to be on time. hardly ever is.
