Quote from: blue1 on September 11, 2012, 01:21 amI have placed two orders. One last week and one today. Both state they are in the processing stage. What does that mean and when should I expect the delivery. I have been burned before and am concerned about these two orders. They are supposedly to well respected sellers on this site. I emailed both sellers and have not heard back.Hi blue1,If the orders are still marked as 'processing' then they have not yet been sent out yet by the vendors in question. When they are sent the order status will change to 'in transit'.Silk Road gives vendors 4 days to process an order, after which point the 'cancel' link will become active and you can cancel the order if you feel that the vendor is taking too long to process it. As far as your messages are concerned a lot of vendors receive a hundred or more messages a day, and time spent reading and responding to messages is time that could otherwise be spent packaging up orders. Give your vendor 24 - 48 hours to respond to any messages, and if you want to cancel the order when the 'cancel' link becomes active then you can do so: your buyer stats will not be affected.- grahamgreene
