First time buying off DNM. Order never arrived.

Hey, excuse the noobness of all of this.

So, I order 1g of cocaine off an Alpha Bay vendor called lyso. Order time said 15 days. After 20 days and no delivery I sent a message and the reply was that the package was sent and lyso didn't know why it hadn't arrived yet.

A month later and nothing. Sent another message and the reply again was:

Hi I think she got lost or stolen = /

regards lyso

Soooooo... is this common?

First time buying and it just never arrived with no answers. $150 down the drain.

I wanna give it another crack but I'd feel like a fucking idiot if I'm missing something here. It seems almost too easy for vendors just to take the money and never ship...

Tough luck, got scammed on my first order too. Since then I've religiously read all reviews and comments on /r/darknetmarkets to establish an idea about which vendors are to be trusted. Then you check their Grams, their recent feedback on your market of choice (which ideally would be one with a responsive moderater team), and make the order. Dispute the order if you've already contacted the vendor, and the order doesn't show up after a reasonable amount of time. Unless you FE'd (finalized early), the money is still in the market's escrow wallet, and there is still hope for you.

Packs get lost sometimes, rarely but it happens. Othertimes they get stolen. International orders run more of a risk of those because there is more of a system for it to be lost to, and also introduces customs agents into the mix.

Got scammed on my first order too. Fucking blows. I suggest looking through the vendors who sell whatever it is you want, then searching here or/and in the market forums. If still indecisive, make a post here saying like " who has better blow out of " and list the vendors u have looked into. This has worked great for me and since u actually do ur own research the mods won't delete ur shit for sourcing.

Tough break. Hope you do your research and stick with trusted vendors. I only do DD's mostly nowadays. So I know the feeling of orders not showing up

The truth about the DNM is that anyone can scam you at any time for any reason. Regardless of their feedback, regardless of anything on reddit you read, some people just think it'd be better to exit scam than keep making money. Just always use escrow and dont let anything auto finalize. Sorry you lost money tho. It happens to the best of us.

Rule #1: never FE. Lesson learned.
