Also at what point would you burn your address? I've heard of some people losing 5+ and continuing to order to the same address, which to me is fucking mental.

I voted 0, but I did actually have one unsuccessful order. I received the product from the vendor, a vendor that I trusted and had ordered from a few times before, but the batch the vendor had was bunk, and he partial refunded me outside of escrow. He also made it good on the next order from a GREAT batch, so I count that as a net success.
All orders went to a single PO box address associated with a fake identity (not John Doe or some other blatantly fake identity--it's a convincing identity, just not mine). I still order to that PO box to this day.

One no show burns an address as far as I am concerned.

In over 40 successful orders I've only had one that didn't make it and it was just a sample.
The seller was brand new and was really sloppy with his packaging so even the re-ship didn't make it (domestic).
I only paid like $5 for shipping so I didn't really care about it. I've saved a ton of money using SR so even if I get scammed I'll never regret using SR.

To be safe, yeah agreed, but.....
My PO box isn't associated with my true identity in any way, except for CCTV at the post office...if a single package doesn't arrive there (and so far I'm 42/42 at that box), I would be more likely to assume that USPS messed up, or maybe the vendor messed up, than that LE is on my ass at the PO box. I doubt I'd burn it after a single no show. It seems highly unlikely that a CD will happen at a PO box.
Now for residential addresses, where a CD is something that could happen on any order, regardless of the addressee, then yes, one no-show means don't risk the next one.

8 out of 8 successful deliveries with 2 of which being international!!
and i agree.. 1 red flag is all it takes for me to burn a drop addy!!

I would never make the assumption of anything just for convenience sakes, admittedly having a very successful PO box not in your name would be hard to let go of and if a no show happened I would like you most probably be tempted to push it after a break of a month or two and try again. A lot however would depend on the size of the order that didn't make it if I were making calculated judgements on whether to burn or risk using again.
Don't make the mistake of assuming LE will not attempt a CD at a PO box, I have heard of one unlucky person in my country currently facing serious charges in part evidenced by CCTV from post offices, you can never be too careful.
Stay safe people.

probably had close to 10+ unsucessful orders.
all international

I've had three unsuccessful orders, but one was definitely a selective scam of sorts and the other two just disappeared into the sea of international mail never to be seen again. I do switch up addresses and take breaks though. Just as Same said, you can't be too careful.

Both have been 5 weeks, One from MIMM & one from Nevita. Saying that, I live in a hard to post country and have yet to go through the resolution process. I am going to wait another week in the unlikely event they turn up.
Funny enough, they are also the only two orders I FE'd, being a novice newbie. All my other domestic and international orders are still coming through.
Customs Problem or FE scam?
Well only time will tell......$300 bucks down the drain
