+1 gave it to you REALY REALLY WELL SAID... To the OP (opening poster aka the person who starts a thread) I get this is is a section for newbies on the road..but that does not mean you are idiots..yet with your post you have proven that not only are you new....but you are dumb. And that is the worst combo for someone on SR as a buyer...you will be a vendors worst nightmare... How you don't understand it and had to make a post is unreal. But another reason weekends are easy for us vendors to take off is that we 100% depend on the mail. And there is only mail on Saturday. It is an early cutoff and soon will be no more..so there really is not a need for weekends. Also not only do some vendors take weekends off...you ready for this....we take weeks off sometimes!! Yes you read that correct..weeks! Now it all depends on the vendor and what he is selling..but a lot of us at some point will either be reloading on the goods or just need to take a week off to get everything straight. Or something will come up IRL. Also being a vendor takes a lot of time. As we are constantly answering questions from idiots like you. We have to answer all the messages from buyers that refuse to read the listings where their questions are already answered.. Or the questions where they ask about shipping and if you ship on Sundays, or they ask everything that is answered on your vendor page...again they don't like to read. Or they will reads where you say your cutoff time is 2pm PST...so they will then message you and say " it is 1:30pm pst...I know your cutoff says 2pm but I am just checking if I out an order in now,,,will it still get sent out?" The, with them being new...you waste your time and say yes it will be...and they will come back with " Oh ok... I need to get coins then... I am not sure how long it will take to get them to my wallet...but I will probably just order tomorrow..thanks" And in between those we have the legit questions (very few) and we have to deal with customers, orders, packaging,shipping, account maintenance ect. So as not to get burned out...or just to in general take a week off because we can...then a lot of us do. What is important for newbies to understand is that you need to read the vendors page. On it most vendors post daily updates and will give ALL the info you will need. I would say that 98% of ALL your questions are answered on the vendors page. So always go there. It is best that when you find a vendor you like that you "become a fan" why that is important is that it allows you to when you log in..to be able to see all the vendors that are your favorites(you became a fan) and you can just click on there name and you will be taking to their vendor page. You can find that option on their vendor page where it will say "become a fan" You just click it and you are then able to also see them if they go into stealth mode. If you are not a fan....then you will not see them. I suggest you read the Wiki page to learn more about that. Good luck!
