Title: How does every one feel about the new order cancellation time? (BACK TO 4DAYS)
Post by: dirtybiscuitzz718 on May 07, 2013, 05:12 am
So ive just noticed the change in cancellation policy.

It was 4 days in 'processing', before a buyer had the option to cancel the order. It is now 7 days.

I personally dont feel that 7 days is fair, from the buyers aspect. 4 Days was a more than reasonable amount of time for a vendor to ship an order. If it where the case that the particular vendor, or vending team was simply to over whelmed with orders, than it would only seem right to go stealth for X amount of time.

Just my thoughts, trying to gauge others opinion on this. Much love every one.

It's certainly not up to me (in fact, i have no say in the matter -- just want to make that clear) but I agree with you.  If a vendor has active listings, I would imagine 4 days would be more than enough time to get an order out. 

Are you sure the 7 day thing is permanent, or is it possible that it was just an adjustment applicable to orders place during the recent attacks?

Now that you mention it Scout, I have no actual evidence that it is a permanent change. I would hope not, for mine , and the sake of buyers all over SR.

I hope the 7 day timeframe isn't permanent :/ I personally think 4 days was already stretching it a bit, but if this extension is permanent, vendors will have more power than necessary. As others have said, it's likely the 7 days thing is because SR was down for so long.

I hope it's not permanent. But if it is then just have to deal with vendors with johnny on the spot shipping.

But I never had to cancel an order yet. The cancel link has never gone live for me so I guess it doesn't matter.

4 days was fair. 7's all good though. i mean if you REALLY needed to cancel an order you could just message the vendor and ask them to cancel it.

Seven days is a long time.  Particularly if a vendor says on their page that they 'guarantee shipping within 48 hours'  and then they don't.  I have an order I placed on Wednesday that is still 'processing' and I have no way to cancel it for another 3 days.  If I'd known it would have taken this long to get it I would have ordered elsewhere.  I am getting no response from the vendor either, I've messaged them twice.

Worst thing about it is you have all that coin tied up in an order you're not sure you're ever going to receive. 

Anyway, I'm a patient guy but I'd still like the option of canceling my order if it hasn't shipped inside of 4 days.

Personally, I think it's a joke, unless its been market sent within three days they have no right to complain if someone changes their mind or gets the shits.  >:(

Too bad if you ordered on a Sunday for a festival the next weekend for a local domestic order, it also allows vendors to be lazy as fuck!   :-[

Grrrrr not positive at all, and the people have spoken!  >:(

With the volatility of the bitcoin market at the moment, I think 7 days is way too long for customers to be able to cancel their orders.

IMHO, 4 days is more than adequate for a vendor to get an order packed and shipped. If they can't handle that work load, they need to take down their listings so they can get on top of their game again :)

3 days is ideal. 

 BMR doesnt appear to have a time limit, which really sucks when you've been waiting 5 days, and the vendor was last seen 3 days ago.   
It's grinding my gears real good right now.

7 days is ridiculous.

It would probably only be acceptable for the bigtime vendors who process hundreds of orders per week, but these vendors are in the minority anyway, so the 7 day timeframe will just promote laziness/slow dispatch amongst others.

Good to know I wasn't tripping when I realised the cancellation date was reduced by 3 days in 20 hours :D

I think 7 days is too long. It would be pretty annoying to order, expecting it to be posted next day then the vendor takes their time and ships it almost a week later.

As psychedelicmind has stated, the cancellation time has returned to 4 days. The 7 day period was a temporary measure to allow vendors to catch up after the DDoS attack.

7 days really? that's a lot of time.. I thought the 4 day wait was even a little much

I guess I'll just stick to using vendors who do shipments on a daily basis..

As noted by Libertas, the 7 day period was only in place during the site attacks.  It's back to the usual 4 days now.  :)

Hey Scout, Lock this bitch down 8)

Locking this bitch down! :D
