Why do you have to wait 3 days before you can cancel an order on AB?

I don't understand it. I made an order 2 days ago, early enough to get the package before the weekend starts, and now the vendor I've chosen wasn't online since then, didn't ship my order yet. It's cool, I understand that vendors can't be online 24/7 and that they have RL stuff to sort out, but please AB, don't let me wait 3 days before I can cancel my order. I basically can't do anything about it but the weekend is pretty much ruined now. I'm not really a rich dude so I can't just order something else. I really like AB so far but that feature fucked me over quite a few times.

EDIT:
I also wanted to add that it's just risky to leave an unfullfilled order up for up to 3 days. Let's say you order something and at the same time your vendor of choice get's grabbed by LE. You're basically giving them 3 more days worth of time to get your address. Sure it's encrypted but who knows which vendor might give their private key to the police? Or didn't store it properly at all? Idk AB but you really should remove this 3 day limit, or at least put it down to 1 day. That gives a vendor enough time to fullfill an order.

In case the vendor ships the item without marking it, or like for example if they need to source your product with the coins you bought the item with so they're not short. It'd be nice to be able to cancel yourself, but I see why not.

Also it auto cancels after 3 days, you don't get an option.

In-case a vendor uses the system properly and ships it within 3 days then marks it as shipped. Who the fuck has time for that?

You dont want to give customers a cancel option or like a button that does that until a certain time window has gone by.

The reason for this is that the vendor needs to have what would be considered "reasonable" amount of time to pack your order, and ship it. When vendors have to pack 100 packs a day. they need time to space out the mail drops at different locations (im talking driving to 2-4 different cities to mail all the drops) Driving to a bunch of nearby towns takes a fuck ton of time. at the end of the day, vendors are people too.

if people could cancel whenever. a vendor could get an order, go out and ship it only to return home to realize it has been canceled. this would be insane and not fair to the vendor.

Your address doesnt disappear after it cancels at least on your end im not sure if vendors can see cancelled orders.
