I'll start;
I had a bit difficulty with the PGP encryption so when I finally thought I had it down I purchased some MDMA from puzzle. Except I asked him to confirm it before I sent the address to him. The dude pulls a dick move and cancels my order shorting me some change (I think BTC dropped or some of it got stuck in escrow I don't know). Anywho I ended up not having enough money to buy from him and ended up buying from someone else much much nicer and cooler.
I understand sellers have a process, but I am the customer. The customer isn't always right but if you can't take a few seconds out of your busy time to assist me with the purchase, then I don't want to buy your product. Who knows what else you cut out of your product.
How was your experience?

Honestly? I'm too worried to order.
Any amount, even the tiniest is enough to get you jail time around here, and i really can't afford to do that.
I have no idea how to find a safe way to get anything here, since you have to give all your info to the PO to open a PO box and they cooperate with the cops on everything :\
Plus, due to a large terrorist risk all post is scanned.

my first purchase went swimmingly and only took 4 days to arrive. subsequent purchases from that vendor did not go over well at all however.
each purchase, vendor, seller, and item is different so each experince is different for every one. even seasoned sr pros get scammed every once in a while

I was buying MDMA from Pfandleiher back in the day from my previous account. I needed to wait like 2weeks because there was no more of that batch, but finally after he sended it and I received it I couldn't believe that SR isn't a one big scam and works.
My first MDMA was that :)
-
Mine was flawless. I am a bit of a techie, so encryption was not a problem for me, and the vendor I choose was awesome in every way. It really all depends on who you choose to be the one that takes your SR virginity. Choose right and you will have a wonderful experience.

You have no need to be worried. If you choose the right vendor, it will get through. DrWhite and Nevita have awesome stealth and it is pretty much guaranteed to get to you, unless you have the absolute worst luck in all history. A PO box is NOT recommended, it is perfectly fine to receive it to your house. The only time I would be worried at all is if I was receiving large bulk orders. If you stick to personal amounts you will be alright. There are plenty of tips around on the forums as well on how to handle potential CDs and how to respond if you think your package was flagged.

I bought an OZ from FarmGuy Everything went 5/5. Was nervous but all went well.
-
It ran smooth! Sorry to hear about getting your order canceled and stuff :(
-
My first experience was great with a proven vendor who was more than helpful for n00bs. To be honest I think we have to respect the marketplace but encounter it with a certain different set of expectations from usual places we go like the old Walmart. There are many reasons a vendor might get spooked and choose to back out and do you think you might feel the same way? Sorry it was a hassle but we've got to be on our games as buyers as well. Good luck in the future and I'm glad subsequent work has been fine.

First transaction was a mess. It was for 2 grams of afghan hash with weednwax. had to fe for first buyer. one day after purchase he cancelled a lot of orders of other people due to 'that he accepted way to many orders' and promised to ship all fe'ers the next week.
so far nothing ever arrived.
never fe! :)
-
my first purchase on SR was a .25g of Heroin from TomorrowMan it took a week to get from canada to south east US. the packaging was ight, sealed up pretty good. looked like a regular letter. the dope was ok. i have got better from supreme smoke. but it was def dope. i shot about 10mg and it was ok. not bad transaction. tomorrowman sent my order out the very next day after i place the order. i will def order again from him. problly try his coke
-
my first was so tender...he eased it in gently...licked it...
then sent it first class.....wonderful...
-
Mine was extremely euphoric. Copt 2 g's of mdma crystal. AMAZING SHIT, from Ivory.
-
First order was great, had no problems and people are so helpful. This is how things should be done.
-
Mine went really well. In fact, I was so pleased with it, that I'm posting 50 times just so I can leave a good review on jesusofrave's official review thread ;)
-
My first order was $200, so far nothing and it's been 14 business days. Still talking to the vendor though so I won't post who it is. Seems to be legitimate though. I did FE, which is why I only spent that much as I can afford to lose it. Second order with someone else placed just a few days ago with no FE, if it doesn't come then I definitely need to send it somewhere else.
-
My first purchase was off tomorrowman and the whole thing went very smooth. 'He patiently answered my questions and in 3 days i had my package at the door, all good to go. Since then I have made a few purchases but i still get sketched out when i order so i don't do it too often. Anyway good luck to the rest of you.
-
It was great. Bought some good weed from a good vendor. The guy eventually went scammer, though. Didn't affect me at all, though.
-
Just initiated my first purchase with jor earlier this week. Sent them a message, got a friendly reply, and placed my order minutes later. Was shipped the next day with no FE required.
-
tell you in a week

I bought a few things my first time. I remember being very nervous while doing it and paranoid to check the mail or sign for things. I bought some molly. It was good. Used to get DMT for cheap from MoonUnit. I wonder what happened to that guy. Used to get the bomb MDA from MontelWilliams. Didn't he go scammer too!? I've never had a bad transaction yet. Although I did order a half o once of mol from a vendor once. Didn't feel right and they sent me a sketchy invitation to business off the road. I feel like I was being watched after that. Had to go underground for a while in my home town. I still don't know if it had anything to do with the people that were trying to set me up, but my gut told me it did. I wanted to warn people about this vendor, but I knew I had no proof so I just stayed off the Road for a couple months.

The weed I got was cheaper and better quality than what you find on the street where I live, and it was posted through my fucking door - It feels like the future :)
-
My first purchase went very well, much smoother than I expected. I used bitinstant with a small amount of money first just to make sure they would actually make it to my SR wallet. In about an hour they did and this was exciting for me. After researching all the vendors that had the products I wanted I found one that didn't require FE, has many transactions and great feedback. I messaged him/her and then placed the order and I recieved my product in 2 days with great stealth. SR is an amazing service and when used right it seems safer than local dealers.

My first purchase was 25 hoffman tabs from MrFireUk. The tabs were a little weak and he gave me a 2/3 refund. :).That was before he went rogue and made off with everyone's cash.
-
got a couple tabs from tessellated. no complaints.
-
Got 2-dpmp and some Huffman tabs for me and my friends.
-
Got some MDMA from XTCXPRESS. Tested positive instantly and it got me fucking blasted. He said in his description that he had to crush them up to get into his stealth so I got a test kit...and it was hot.
Oh shit was I high. Rollin' real hard.
-
it went swimmingly
-
tomorrowman and it was as good as it gets recomended highly
-
Bad.
FE'd as it was my first purchase with a seemingly respectable vendor.
BAM, scammed, as well as like 10+ other people.
3 orders after that + no FE'ing = success.
-
Going slowly so far. Have 2 orders (edibles) in with no response back - first one was last Tuesday, so this week it's on to messaging to break things loose one way or another. I decided to just put the orders in (small starter amounts) without any prior messaging to the vendors, so maybe that was a strategic error. I'm trying to be low maintenance, but so far I'm low result. Haven't lost any money and don't have anything at risk that I can't afford, but it's hard to be patient. I'd rather be buzzing than patient...
-
I used to add my order to a friend's and they would sort it all out. Recently started doing my own purchases and it started out well, no issues, but I am currently waiting on 2 packages arriving that seem to be taking a long time, leaving me 200 in the hole.

Why does FE mean and should you or should not do it? Sorry for to the newb question. I haven't even made my first order yet. Just window shopping and trying to find BTC.

FE means "Finalize Early".
Basically means you finalize the payment before you receive the item.
Most people wont require you to FE, some will depending on your buyer stats.
My advice is to never FE. If someone asks you too... just buy from someone else.
-
my first time was cool, quick and easy. Just look for a vendor you feel comfortable with and message them.
-
I FE'd from a newer vendor but he had a decent number of reviews and most people were getting their product and he was having a sale. Overall good experience.
-
I need moar money for moar purchases :(
-
I only just placed my first order last week, had to FE as well as the vendor said I was a first time buyer and from overseas. Now comes the decision to place another order while I wait for the first order.
-
I was lucky enough to find a cool vendor to let me stay in escrow. It was for only 4 blue defqons, but first time rolling in 8 years and it was a perfect way to start walking on this lovely road.
-
haven't done it yet i still need help with gpg i don't understand it all yet
-
Haven't gotten my first order yet. Should be here soon though. I'm anxious and so excited ;D
-
My first order went awesomely.
-
Very eye opening! I placed 2 orders for some molly at the same time and they came when expected and both of them were of great quality! The only downside was I had to FE on one of them, but I made sure they were a reputable vendor so everything was fine, but I was worried until it arrived.
-
Whats gpg?
-
Ive done 2 orders so far
first one was a 300 micros blotter Flower of Life form vendor Neurotic Natcotic and was absolute shit, that was not lsd at all ...
second one was 2 ghost pills mdma from vendor F16 and they never arrived ...
So my experience is not the best one ...
