I'll summarize this as quickly as I can for the sake of the reader.
-ordered a gram of a-PHP mid-December (2-3 day USPS) and it was marked as shipped the 22nd
-vendor has flawless reviews on every market he's on
-communication with him made it clear he's just as much of an a-PHP fan as me (for those that don't know, a-PHP addiction isn't the hardest to kick but while you're on it you can do really stupid shit because of anxiety)
-package still wasn't shipped as of January 3rd and communication with vendor was very spotty bc of holiday vacation
-he offered 30% refund and the tracking number and I took it.
-I asked him to be honest and just tell me how late it was shipped and he said it was shipped yesterday (January 4th) and that he was sorry and it wouldn't happen again.
-I have faith in him and have forgiven him for "shipping late" but I am very sketched out because the tracking number says the shipping label was created on the 25th of December and nothing else yet.
Do you guys think I'm being led on? Or do you think I'll end up getting my package? I don't want to wait too long to try to get my escrow back. Keeping my eyes on tracking in the meantime.
Thanks guys.
Update: Reported to market as a possible scam
Not being scammed, and this was me.
I had some shit go down and drastically overestimated my ability to manage 6 markets and direct deals alone while very busy with other shit.
I apologize and it's being handled.
