[GeneralQuestions] Package lost in the ether, coins in escrow. What do?

The vendor has extended escrow for me multiple times, and it's been just shy of a month since it was shipped (CA -> US, regular post, no tracking). The coins are in escrow, so I'm not sure what I should do.

Keep requesting escrow extensions until it arrives (could be months or never)? Finalize and give vendor the coins and hope the package comes eventually? Dispute?

I don't really want to dispute because I like the vendor.. but I have no idea when this package could arrive. What would you do in my shoes?

UPDATE: He came through with a reship on my latest order, even let me choose a different item (: Discounts_R_Us is the fuckin man!!

Write the vendor, and ask what he suggests. He has policy especially for this cases

It might be time to ask for a reship mate

Canada Post sucks pretty fat cock so it's totally possible your pack is just late as shit or even delayed in customs (but hopefully not seized!).

The vendor is right for now about extending the date, but I'd start asking him about where to go from here if it never shows up. Most vendors are pretty understanding about it and hopefully you guys will be able to work something out.

Worst case, dispute the order and work from there. Disputes hurt buyer/vendor stats and they're a pain in the ass for everyone (including the market admins), so it's definitely more ideal to work it out with the vendor directly if you can.

Most importantly, don't release your coins from escrow until you either have the product, or have reached a solution that you are comfortable with. Escrow is the only thing keeping you safe right now.
