Hi guys, newbie to the forums but not to SR.
Has anyone else had shipments delayed lately?
I placed two orders last thursday from two seperate vendors and payed for EXPRESS shipping. Neither of them have arrived yet, and they were both marked as in transit the same day. One vendor i have used before with express shipping and it was at my door 24 hours later. I have emailed them both and one vendor replied and said the USPS credit card processors were down last week, and the severe weather we have had lately is delaying shipments. Anyone else not getting their express orders on time? I am hoping they will arrive tomorrow.
thanks guys.

I've had no trouble so far.

I've been on here for a couple months. My strategy is to use established vendors with top stats, even if I have to FE as a new user. (I know FE is controversial, but I'm not doing big $ transactions so I'm comfortable with the risk) I have 7 purchases that have taken between 3 and 9 days to arrive. So far the road has been good to me. My advice would be to be patient, some vendors don't ship every day for stealth reasons.

No delivery problems but delivery times can be all over the map, even with express.
Unless its from SpaceWrangler, in which case I believe your order was actually delivered TO space - one-way....:)
-
lol no it wasnt spacewrangler. one is a reputable vendor that i have used in the past, and the other is a new vendor i decided to try but they have 100 feebacks and good reviews. am i allowed to post who i ordered from?
-
25 transaction and $102 ?! what do you buy? candles? i didnt know anything was that cheap.
and all my expresses have been like clockwork as usual.
-
25 transaction and $109 ?! what do you buy? candles?
its 109 BTC
-
is there a setting you can change in your SR account to show dollars instead of BTC?
-
ahhh i have my account in USD i didnt notice the btc symbol :X good shit then. i stand corrected
and yes, account->settings->show prices in USD must be checked
-
I found it!!! I had no idea!! this is awesome when browsing now it shows USD amount. alot easier then me wasting time with a BTC to USD calculator trying to find the best deal!!! haha!
thanks for letting me know
-

YES THERE IS
i was so happy when i found it too.. click "account" at the top and then "settings" on the right-hand side, and underneath the change password/pin fields there's an option to display prices in USD. this is also where you can find the incognito browsing option, which is very handy if you ever need it.
edit: OOPS, someone already answered.. :P
im expecting an express package in the AM tomorrow, hopefully it'll arrive on time, when it comes to express they tend to operate like clockwork around here.. i think they actually have a totally different mailperson that only does express orders. anyone else ever see this with usps?? my normal mail delivery time is much later in the day than when the express lady comes thru...

Yes, your right. it is the same with me. Ussually comes later in the day and it is a person in a regular vehicle, not a mailtruck.
let me know if you get yours tomorrow, im curoius. ill post on here when i do also.
-
I can confirm express is different person for me as well.
-
haha well are yall situated in large cities as well?? i know that not everyone has express delivered by someone else, maybe it's a decision they make when they're serving a large/heavily-populated area?? who knows, but i'm glad she's there, cuz she does NOT fuck around, the second that express envelope hits your hand she's already halfway back to the truck and on to the next one... a true pro
-
haha well are yall situated in large cities as well??
nah im pretty rural
-
I didnt get either of them today... Now im fucking pissed
-
Yup yup right here and it drives me nuts. I know I know I'm inpatient bastard but when you go weeks without anything and you finally get excited and are able to order shit it sucks when its held up for four,five, six days.

one was actually misplaced at my mailbox, so i finally got something. just downed 60mg of oxy. cant wait for the high to hit in about 20 minutes. have a good night man and hope you get your stuff soon bro
-
LOL I'm rural as well, I usually don't receive my mail till around 3pm, but when I get express, It's quite early and the lady drives like a lunatic.. BTW, VERY RURAL like 30 miles outside of town.
-
Yes! Steadily over the past few months, transit times have been getting slower ( 2 days, next order 3 days, etc...).
I ordered from a top 2% vendor. I've been a completely issue-less customer of theirs. Transit never more than 3 days. It's been 7 whole days since I placed my last order. Nothing yet. I sent a polite, short, non confrontational message yesterday, but they haven't read it yet. Rude. So I sent another (encrypted this time) message this evening.
Very discouraging.
I don't want to be that dramatic annoying junkie blowin' up a vendor's inbox or anything, but I was counting on that and it's becoming more than inconvenient every day.
Ugh. Spoiled druggie problems...
-
It be good if they had a GBP setting aswell
-
I've had that problem now and before with a few and it makes me fuckin crazy. Between them Vendors (you know who you are) and the USPS who likes to play with themselves even when it comes to priority mail so their cost don't go up and take forever. It's only gonna get worse to with them you think they would catch a clue as to why their business has dropped so radically.
Screw it if you can't get my order out in 5 days I'm canceling and going with another vendor who will. That's what I say although I expect it to be shipped within 48 hours which is reasonable in most cases.
-
I have received one order, but am still waiting for an order from UK to USA and it has been like 12 days, reason to be alarmed?

Ordered domestically today. No update yet, but assuming the vendor will get to it tomorrow. Will update when I hear.
