To try and keep things short...ordered 1000 X pills @ 4.2BTC from a vendor on BSM(Heineken-Beer). This was the second time ordering from said vendor.
First order of 500 came in perfectly fine, messaging and correspondence along with all questions answered within 24 hours. Before ordering the 1000(ordered in July) questions about fulfillment asked & reassured that fulfillment would be 100%. Seeing as this was the second time ordering a large amount & it was confirmed no extra thought was made. The moment the BTC went into escrow(no FE) the vendor went into "vacation mode".
Even with "vacation mode" nothing came to mind seeing as the order was made & placed into escrow before this.
Now the fun part: half of the pills came in (500~) in one package, and seeing as it was a large order, a second package of 500 was expected, but never came. Gave it two weeks; nothing. Messaged the vendor, was replied with something along the lines of: "everything was sent in two packages" , the escrow was still not finalized, not even 50% for the half that arrived.
Waited until August, still nothing; no package and better yet- no seizure notice. Which led to the conclusion that there was no second package. (package coming to USA)
Once again messages were sent and the only reply that was sent was "okethanks" ...... After that last message there have been no more replies to messages, no attempts to send the remaining 500, it seems the vendor account was abandoned in "vacation mode".
Now as to this day, the escrow has not been finalized, and has been placed into a dispute status, but that's all....no other progress has been made. Dispute has been set since early September. Looking for a bit of advice as to what to do in this situation; abandon all hope or is there something that I have missed?
