styxstims on AlphaBay

Placed an order on the 9th, still shows "processing" and showing he hasn't been online since the 9th. Was just curious if anyone knew of any shenanigans going on with him? I also don't have an option popping up to cancel the order like I have in the past. What's with that? What should I do if more time passes without any status changes (besides assuming the worst and leaving the country)?

I just ordered on the 8th and he marked shipped and said it would ship in around 2 days. Will update what happens

If anyone has placed an order with styxstims on AB I urge you NOT to Finalize Early (FE) and to not let the order auto-finalize. Place that order into Dispute as soon as the estimated shipping time 2-5 days (standard) has passed.

The single item listed by the vendor stated, " FE is greatly appreciated but is never required, it but does help us ship orders faster though[.]".

The vendor "About" tab also states, "(Free) Standard: 2-5 days, tracked and guaranteed delivery."

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for a buyer to finalize any order with this vendor. The guarantee is without exception, is it not?

Don't be a boob and FE.

If vendor does ask for you to FE in exchange for shipping the item DO NOT. The vendor is not allowed to make FE listings for a reason and has guaranteed delivery to you. If you do end up being a complete sucker and Finalize Early you will almost assuredly not get your product and lose your BTC. Without so much as a TY message from styxstims.

I am saying this from past orders with this vendor. Some arrived, some required dispute resolution with a sob story, and some were auto-cancelled due to inactivity.

That is all.

The order will auto-cancel on its own and the BTC/XMR will be returned to you.

I don't think this was ever a buyer-side feature in AB although I haven't been an AB user since its launch.
