Paranoia over delayed packages, what buyers have to deal with.

Im constantly seeing notes on vendor's about page about "dont ask me for tracking" or "Ill give tracking at my discretion" yada fucking yada. IMO the buyers take on the biggest risk here and if you cant provide a tracking number or ship when you say you shipped, then screw you, really.

Im sick and freaking tired of expecting a package, going to PO on my lunch break and then there isnt shit. All the while the vendor claims they sent when they marked on site.

Priority mail doesnt take over 3 business days, period, no matter the time of year. Yeah tracking numbers can get you in trouble if youre a dumbass that checks it from clearnet but for real, get over yourselves vendors, if you cant ship when you say you did and its like pulling teeth to get a tracking no then screw you, really.

Knowing when your package SHOULD be in helps a lot, first off we can get the shit out of the box asap and secondly if some unknown odd delay we know to reject the package and get ready to be raided. Youre not the ones who has to deal with that, buyers are.

If you are a vendor that does this shit then eat a dick.

You're completely wrong. Priority packs are now taking up to 10+ days.

Priority mail DOES take more than 3 days sometimes. I just had an order show up that took a week. Priority. Vendor shipped when they said they did. All on USPS. I never get my hopes up sooner than 5 business days anymore. If you want it to show up at a certain time guaranteed you have to go the express route which most vendors will not do.

bullshit... check out the /r/usps subreddit for all sorts of crap.. package delays, packages going on trucks, being stuck, you name it....

Priority mail def takes long some times. I had packs coming (with tracking) that had estimates of longer than the typical 2-3 days. I have had packs on clearnet regular items take longer than typical 2-3 days. I live in a major city.

i agree

I agree thats fucking bullshit. Especially people dealing addictive drugs like dope/ coke/ benzos. People are relying on those and some of these vendors take their sweet ass time. Nobody should be forced into withdrawals because the vendor couldnt put down the xbox controller and do their damn job. Its the equivalent of going to meet a dealer and waiting in a parking lot for 6 hours waiting for him to stop nodding out long enough to weigh a bag and deliver it. And to lie and blame the postal service is retarded. I know its christmas time and all but domestic packages have no business taking longer than 5 days. During slower seasons youll get em in 2 days. Anything longer than 5 days is proof to me the vendor dragged ass on sending out the package and uses the whole "must be how busy the postal service is" excuse. They hire tons of extra usps employees this time of year to keep things running smoothly. The USPS isnt that unorganized to where it should take the better part of the month to send something 600 miles away

I actually agree that vendors should provide tracking both as a means to prove it was actually shipped and so customers only have to check their drop once after they know it's been delivered. I know that providing tracking right away poses an OPSEC issue, but once the pack is delivered a customer can check the tracking anyway, so they can see where it's shipped from. If LE were profiling your packs they could easily find the exact box it was dropped off at after the tracking arrives. They wouldn't get the orders that went out with that package, but they'd be able to watch the box and get your next batch of orders as I guarantee vendors use the same drop boxes again even if they cycle.

BUT..., you're COMPLETELY WRONG about USPS not having delays and only taking 3 days. I deal with a few vendors regularly who trust me with the tracking numbers. I've had several orders over the last month, that were dropped off the day I placed the order or the next day (confirmed by tracking) take over a week to arrive. Several have been picked up and sat at the sort facility of origin for 3-5 days before finally being processed to my local sort facility.

I even had one come to my post office, and then by an obvious mistake at that office, go back to the local sorting facility for a couple days, then they obviously figured out the error and sent it back to the post office and it was delivered without issue--after around 8 or 9 days.

Others, including people who are just ordering clearnet packages have had packs get rerouted to all kinds of places and spend often times WEEKS traveling around the country like a hobo catching rides. Some end up in different states on opposite sides of the country before being corrected and placed back on route to their correct destination. It happens all the time, actually, any quick search of these forums or on Google will show just how wrong you are in your assumption about this.

One thing I do, is if a package is late from a vendor that won't provide tracking, is check the tracking when it finally arrives. You can see when the package was scanned in. Sometimes the vendor is jerking you around and didn't mail it for a few days, most of the time in my experience it really is USPS. But now you know. And you can either choose not to order from that vendor again or know that if you do it had better not be a time sensitive package.

Totally agree, sick of checking my po box for packages and there's nothing in it, not even express packages that I ordered a week ago....


[2 Points] Hamilton_Morris_:

Preach! Good opsec means when I encounter a respectable delay I have to clean house and halt all DNM activity until I figure out what's going on. It's super fucking lame when a vendor requires two weeks to go by before I can even request tracking. Only to discover he took a week to get it to the PO after marking it shipped.


[2 Points] Peace2Cee:

I'm sure most vendors with good reputation and reliability know what their doing, it really depends on your vendor so you can't really talk shit when all this shit is illegal anyway. Yeah you can argue about it not being done right by other people but you have to remember your RISKING yourself with everything. So to take a chance there's always risk, don't be mad at regular people's jobs doing what they do. It's the holidays and shit also, not my place for saying anything but let's be honest. As long as you get it and don't have to deal with being robbed)for the most part( or killed during the process. It's not priority mails fault people get addicted to drugs or high demand and people want their product. Go find an IRL plug If thats the case. Moral of the story, who gives a fuck ? Who's going to do something about it ? Really now ... Peace and love


[1 Points] loadsofshite:

vendors saying they shipped when they haven't is the most annoying thing ever, like they should at least be honest with it. i don't care if it takes an extra day or two for them to send it in the mail but i wanna know when it's been shipped so i can know when to expect it


[1 Points] ronbangtown:

My go-to will offer up tracking after a few days.. Just managed to get my tracking # after a day of worrying over the Nucleus shit, takes a weight off my mind in these days of holiday delays.

I can understand some vendor's opsec concerns, but barring someone accessing the postal tracking via TOR or some other sloppiness it seems to be a miniscule risk for the smaller, service-oriented vendors.


[1 Points] Boonerz:

I had a three day domestic priority pack (USA) take 12 days. It's the holidays man. After I received the package, I checked tracking and it sat in a sorting facility for a week.


[1 Points] lostdeathstar:

The only time I've actually had a vendor refuse to give me tracking info is when they never sent anything out to begin with. I've only asked for the info a few times and only when a package hasn't landed within the expected time frame. I agree completely with OP, I think tracking should be provided if the package is late. If for no other reason than to prove that it was sent out in the first place.

ITT: Entitled children.

You're buying drugs off the dark net. Shit fucking happens. Sometimes, delays happen and USPS fucks up. Don't get addicted to drugs if you don't have a back up local supply that you can snag from.

Don't whine your with raggedy addict ass in here and whine about vendors because you're a god damned addict and you need your drugs NOW.

Fucking wait.
