I've found myself in a strange predicament. Do you think I'm being scammed?

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.

He created the label on christmas, he probably had shit to do and didint mail it out on time.

If the label was created on the 25th then it's likely the package isn't going to be accepted if they just drop it off. Not trying to be a Debbie downer but usually the only allow 3 business days from printing to get the package in otherwise it'll be returned to sender. Some places only allow 24 hours as it damages the locations mailing scores.

If you don't see any updates in the next few days I'd ask him about the new shipping number or get a my usps account and check.

I wish vendors would just be up front about being lazy. How hard is it to package product up and drop it off at a fucking mail box within a day or two of an order lol.

And perhaps they will overlook the week+ over site yet I really doubt that.

Best of luck

Who cares at this point, you either lost the money or you didn't, there's no way any of us can predict it for you. No one is going to coddle your anxiety into submission, get off drugs if it's that much of an issue.
