Title: HOW TO GET A VENDORS ATTENTION......
Post by: Thizzelle686 on April 17, 2012, 05:05 am
Ok, so i have waited as long as i could before i took this to the forums, but i need your help.  I recently placed an order with a vendor for some product that is hard to come by.  I sent him a message the same day I ordered asking him how much extra it would be to upgrade to priority shipping.  I sent that message 4 days ago and he has not read it and i know he has been online everyday since i sent the message.  Since then i have sent 1 other message, so its not like I'm flooding his inbox.

I have been on here long enough to know that some people will say that i am being impatient and its really hard work being a vendor and replying to all messages.  I agree that its difficult, but its also difficult to have a large sum of money tied up without any communication.  What i would like to do is to cancel my order asap and order from somebody else so i can have some product by the weekend.  Whats the best way to get the vendors attention without being rude or obnoxious?  I would like to order from him in the future.  Thanks guys

If priority isn't an option to begin with, then chances are he doesn't offer priority shipping and your message is basically "worthless" (this is probably the case). If he does offer priority and you picked the wrong thing, since it has been 4 days, you can cancel the order and place it again with the correct shipping method.

Hope this helps.

Priority wasn't an option on the item i selected, but i know all of his other products have it and he even says something about priority in his bio.  I will probably cancel, bummer is i cant get this product from anyone else.

I cant cancel for 2 more days.  I sent him a message asking him to cancel my order now but it seems pointless.  Anyother way i can get my funds back immediately?
