Omg so you mean that popping up is just a glitch or bug past few days? cause i’ve been freaking the F out for 1-2 days now not able to get a hold of vendor, but that showed up on my informed delivery that “no tracking will be provided because counterfeit postage was used pack seized contact vendor/sender” or something blah blah gave me heart attack

you really shouldn't "freak out" about tracking ever unless it outright says it's being seiz3d, held or insp3cted. all it technically says is these packages aren't eligible to be tracked. people really need to understand that a buyer can't automatically be held at fault because of the shipper using a fake label. they would need to start an investigation and find probable cause that you were a co-conspirator.

Hey dude I think it’s bc I still haven’t donated yet? I was of the understanding If you were just a member who hadn’t donated you couldn’t direct message? Maybe im wrong?

which I TRULY plan to do I know I’ve said that a few times over the course for anyone whose seen my replies but it’s worth it for obvious fkn reasons I want and need access to the us section besides other reasons like there’s so many good and decent ppl here and I don’t think it’s necessarily right to just look to “free load” as may enter some ppl heads and im sure some do off good info and other ppls research exc (NOT saying you’re saying that at all) just if anyone was thinking that I’d understand 100 percent bc I’ve been a member for a while now and have yet to donate but I will im just constantly overwhelmed and honestly crippled by anxiety n mental health “problems” and chronic pain where it makes the most minor things and little “to do” things feel like too much So I basically never get jack shit done or Very little day to day basis.

Anyways myb for the ramble you didn’t ask for any of that…it turns out it wasn’t necessarily a glitch but it’s all good was NOT the vendors fault was the stupid postage place he purchased label from they fkd up and is what caused the message me and others were seeing from this specific vendor but he explained it all and he was as freaked out by it as I was and I’m sure the others were but I’m sure more so since it be him on the line even more so than the buyers …also with his reputation it made no sense why he’d risk it all to do such a thing as use fake postage but hey, when the mind panics…the mind panics.

He sorted it out with the place so it’s all good he assured me nothing to stress about it’s ok.

Sorry for the essay homie if it’s something you’re comfortable saying here since can’t dm (I guess?) go ahead or maybe I answered it perhaps idk if you were one of the “others” lol who was bugging out along with me. Hope you’re having a good night dude

I know that dude but as I said in my reply to @Deepnorth , when the mind panics the mind panics. Especially when you’re admittedly an always anxious-thinking the worst basket case and I had never seen a message like that before in all my dealings with the DW back in the day so when I saw “no tracking available because counterfeit postage used blah blah” whatever it said can’t remember and started googling what does DELETED do with packs in that case and saw not only do they not send them since they’ve begun cracking down, they open them up first before destroying them so then my minds going to okay this message is gonna change in a week or so to one of the other messages I saw on the DELETED site when frantically researching it “package has been seized by DELETED” and even worse the one about “package has been seized by law enforcement.”

When I calmed myself down a bit I started thinking how they still have to prove as the buyer I did anything and hey, I could just deny it and all right but still man what can I say….it was just definitely not a potential giant problem and scare I need with everything else going on with me…and the fact also a huge part along w the pain of the reason I need my mags is to retain some form of sanity in my life lol.

So anyways again, another essay by me sorry…but yeah I freaked the absolute f**k out I admit that…right or wrong. Not an excuse just a reason.

@Layne_Cobain Wow! I totally get it and would have felt the same. 100%. Damn to add more angst is nothing anyone wants on all sides. Glad all was well.

yeah i was also a bit sketched out because looking up the counterfeit postage thing it says

 

[Strawhat6363]

Anyone else that got this message about postage still receive their package I know of at least one guy who gotten the counterfeit postage tracking and got the package today gives me some hope

 

[crackrocks!]

I wouldnt be too stressed about it if its just an error on **** side, I was just worried about initially searching up the counterfeit tracking thing because it says that packages shipped with counterfeit packaging wont be shipped and are **** property.

It sucks the tracking isnt working though still and it isnt even showing up in the "Expected in 1-2 days section" after it saying it was going to be delivered today. Ive got my fingers crossed though.

No.. touchdown. 4 days and counting. Nada damn thing but silence and lots of anxiety. So what happens when it gets returned? What happens when they leave a pink card? I cant esign because tracking obviously doesn't work.. Seriously I could throw up im so worked up. Fuck

Hang in there. Seems like a big cluster fuckery for sure. Let’s all hope the storm clears. Seems like the policy would be to deliver rain sleet or snow and ask for postage to be paid? That’s what seems reasonable not just hold someone’s Amazon or temu ). Bizarre. Just when we think we have seen it all…..but no…..keep us posted bro

Yes, many have now received, from different vendors.

 

[Deleted member 42636]

even if my vendors assured me thats this is a non issue... but it just adds to my anxiety as ALL packages have now disappeared from my ID... i won't stop freaking out until t/d i guess
