As you use my secure form to send the order to me, your email provider is not actually sending the message to me so you would have no way of knowing if your future emails will reach me. So as I see it, you placed your order one day ago, incorrectly at that. I guess you could say I'm lucky that I didn't just delete your unsecure order like I normally do, so I can send you your payment instructions. I'm happy to have you as a loyal customer and appreciate your business as long as we have been open. I just ask that everyone in the community support my efforts to keep everyone safe, by using secure email.
Anonymousspeech.com offers free trial accounts that last for 14 days. Otherwise, a year for one of the best secure email providers out there only costs about $65. Compare that to the costs of the unspeakable happening...LE showing up at your door because you chose to save $65 and risk your emails being intercepted by law enforcement. Worse yet, If that happened to a customer, it puts tons of stress on me as well. This is why I have to continuously change mailboxes, physically move my residences, change internet service providers, etc...
In a typical situation, 14 days is MORE than enough for an order--start to finish. If you simply take five minutes to read my directions and follow them, the ordering process goes extremely smoothly. Most people either leave out information that I need in their initial order request, or don't double check that the western union receiver's name is spelled correctly when they send a western union, write their return email address on the secure form wrong (so my reply goes to no one...), etc...and this causes orders to get delayed/slowed down. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone specifically here, I am just speaking in general. Please don't take this personally as you didn't do anything wrong but use an unsafe email provider. I am just tyring to shed some light on what causes this.
