Just thought I would point this out as it's a clear violation of the rules
Edit: seller was requiring FE on all orders over 1/4 but has since changed that.

You should contact SR Support via your SilkRoad account and let them know.
Give them the link to the vendors profile.

Did it say FE was required in their listing or vendor profile? I was just browsing their listings and did not see this stated anywhere so possibly the mods made them change it.

wondering if anybody has had any contact with aries.
looks so dank and so cheap... but 0 transactions

I have been in contact with them today and they seem pretty friendly and have replied very quickly. 0 transactions and no forum presence does have me a little nervous about using them though..

Hello this is Aries. I took the FE off. I just started about 3 days ago. My prices are low because I go directly to the growers. I live in a state where medical mmj is legal. I also sell on ebay I am not here to rob or scam anyone just looking to expand. If you don't get your package, SR you will reimburse you. There is no need for a signature on my packages, so no risk there either. Plus I use a delivery confirmation number. Thanks I hope that answers some of your questions. :)

Whoo! Cheap, good bud! :D
Tip: Put a link to your vendor page in your sig line. :)

ah good to see you on the forums aries.
i am extremely interested in what you've got up, however i am going to wait until a few others have made transactions.
assuming you're legit, you'll be hearing from me soon! :)

Want that GDP and Purple Bubba to be more... purple! Haha. No I understand that these darker coloured hues vary grow to grow, depending on the conditions etc.
Anyway, shot him over a nice friendly PM enquiring whether INTL (UK) shipping was at all possible. Attractive strains and prices mean I've got a smile on my face, just hope my 'cheekiness' pays off! Hehe.

Going to order the Grand Daddy purp. I'll let you fellas know how it goes

Twon,
Respect man......
Thanks for keeping the vendors honest, introducing a new cannabis vendor, and great reviews.
You da man!
:-*

After writing back and forth with this vendor a little bit on saturday I place an order for all 3 strange. The vendor states that it was shipped out yesterday so I expect delivery by the end of the week, as soon as I receive them I will update here with the review.
-
thanks again Twon!
-
Aries will be hooking me up in the end I think.
Will be placing an order for 1 ounce this afternoon.
We discussed that it'd be half Ice, half GDP, but it looks like the listing he created for me is for half Ice, half Purple Bubba kush, so I don't mind that really. Also hoping it to be USPS Priority International (which has arrived here in the UK in 3 days before!) - the slightly increased price on this custom listing should hopefully have covered it all, so fingers crossed I'll be getting an order in soon!

I received my order from Aries today. I ordered a qp in a mix of the three strains offered and it was pretty fat (118 grams total), but that may be due to the three different strains as each sack was a little over. All three strains look good, none the best I have ever seen (I didnt expect them to be at this cost) and very little purple in either of the purp strains, but still very sugary and the buds were not compressed at all. I have not had a chance to test any yet, but will update this thread and start a vedor review thread once I have.

Yes I would, but the pictures are not very detailed to me (just show a close up, but not the entire bud). The GDP and Bubba Purp are very similar looking and smelling, both with very large fluffy buds, and the Ice is mostly little nugs (most probably .5 size with some up to about a gram). The Ice is very sugary as the picture looks, but I did not see a lot of trichromes on the other 2 strains in the photos so I was pleasantly surprised with the amount that was present on them. I dont have a great camera, but will try to post a few pictures when I update the review later.

Got to work extra early tomorrow, so just going to post a brief review on the GDP, which is the only strain I have tested so far. The buds are very fluffy, almost a little too much so for my taste, and a little dry. The smell is slightly earthy and not as sweet as other GDP I have had recently. The color of the buds are a light green with lots of red hairs and a small amount of crystals, but the buds are not as trimmed as I would like and do have a few brown leaves on them. I recently broke the downstem on my bong, so was not able to try this out there like I normally would with a new shipment, but it was pretty smooth out of a steamroller type pipe and did have a nice taste. This was definitely not 1 hitter quitter quality, but a bowl did provide a nice smooth high that lasted about an hour and a half. The GDP definitely seems to be the lowest quality of the three strains by looks, but overall was a pretty good smoke and I would recommend it if you are looking for a a good smoke at a great price. I will try to post reviews on the Bubba and the Ice tomorrow, and hopefully add some pictures then.

Any new luck? vendor still has 2 transactions and hasn;t replied to messages or emails yet

Not sure what you mean when you ask any new luck, the vendor has only been on the road for a little over a week so everything about them is new. I have sent multiple messages to this vendor (none today), and they have always responded to me pretty quickly.
On another note, just got home from work and about to give the Bubba Purp a go, will be back to post a review on it later this evening.
-
I'm just curious- because a few minutes after I posted that aries replied and said a custom listing of various strains would be done for me right away, and the custom order ended up never being sent, and another blank 5/5 transaction came up sooo im just wondering before i throw cash at this...

Never FE for any vendor full stop! There are many vendors who will happily allow the use of the Escrow system. You only have to read through some of the posts on this forum to realize the amount of buyers being burnt daily.It's a risk you just don't need to take. :)

As far as I know this vendor is not requiring FE, I ordered qp and did not finalize until I received shipment.
Sorry I did not get the bubba review posted last night, hot caught up in some stupid bs and forgot. I will be positing review of bubba and ice tonight.
-
Well I had my order placed on Wednesday.
Apparently 'Aries' has been online 'Today' since then, so I guess that means every day since then (so Wed, Thurs and Fri) yet hasn't responded to my message yet and my order is still processing.
It's only 2 days wait, but need to know what's going on ideally.

"It's only 2 days wait, but need to know what's going on ideally."
When will vendors realize that as buyers, all we ask is that you keep us in the loop! :)

placed my order with him Tuesday marked in transit Tuesday night received east coast Friday, ordered 1 oz of GDP, the bud is good could have been cured better, but it is worth the price. would def do business again

How's the coloring on the GDP?
And what do you guys think of the bag appeal of his weed?

Looking to re-sell? Hehe.
(I wouldn't) but definitely interested in doing 1-2oz with a seller, especially if he's always got 2 strains in stock.
My 1oz order (half Ice half purple bubba) was marked in transit yesterday - so very happy and excited about receiving. Aries looks like a top notch seller to be fair. His reviews are all seemingly very good.
Wonder if the title of this could be changed to "Aries review thread" or similar since he removed the FE notice? Thanks

There is very little to no purple in the gdp, but it is a nice light green and does have a lot of red hair and a small amount of crystals. It was poorly trimmed so has some brown leaves which would take away from bag appeal, but for the asking price this is still a great deal in my eyes.

Sorry for the late reports on the Bubba Purp and the Ice. Here are for both
Bubba Purp - These flowers were nicer than the GDP, they are a darker green and actually had a little purple in it (as opposed to the GDP that had none). The buds were big and dense (a couple around 3 grams) and had a nice amount of crystals on them. There was an occasional brown leaf on these as well, but not near as many as the GDP. These buds had the best bag appeal IMO, as they were big and fluffy. The smell and taste was similar to the GDP, but was a little sweeter smelling/tasting. They were sticky when broke up and took a minute if not using a grinder. Very smooth out of a bong, and provided a nice head buzz that lasted about 2 hours.
Ice - This was the nicest of the three (as vendor stated in listings). The only downside is that the buds were all very small, most under a gram, and that there was a little shake in this bag (no shake in other bags). The buds are a very light green and are covered in crystals which makes them look almost white. They smell was not very strong, but was very sweet. The buds broke up nicely and smoked smoothly out of a bong and a vape, and provided more of a stoney high than the other two buds. I really like this bud just wish that the buds were bigger. Strongly considering making a little BHO out of some of this due to the crystal content.
Overall I was pleased with the transaction (especially when cost is considered), but I am a pot snob so have to be honest and say that the GDP is not something I would buy again, although is a good smoke for asking price, but I am enjoying the other two. I could not get decent pictures with the camera I have and felt like posting them would no the product an injustice, so I will not be posting pictures.

What's up with this guys communication - or more so, lack of it?
'Apparently' a message I sent 11 days ago still hasn't been read. He still hasn't replied to me from 2 days ago, when I asked if the package had been sent out via USPS Priority (like I had originally asked in my first message to him) or USPS First Class, and since I paid extra (33 BTC when his 1ounce ICE listing was 31 BTC) - I'm kind of wondering where that extra money went to be honest...
Still waiting on my package which means either the seller lied and didn't post it last Friday, or that its simply in customs, or that it was posted when he said it was, via USPS First Class instead of Priority.
I don't feel that I should throw any amount of money away to any vendor, so I'll be looking at getting a partial refund to be totally honest. Now how do I go about that when the seller is as unresponsive as he is?

Had post today, but no package from Aries.
This has started to annoy me now... Aries' communication is non-existent, sending a message several days ago which hasn't been read is an obvious waste of my time.
As the package hasn't arrived, this seller has obviously not taken any care to send via the shipping method I asked for, that being USPS Priority, a service which I paid the extra for. As a result of all this, this is now another weekend where I don't have any decent stuff, which means I'm forced to buy off a local drug dealer - not a situation I ever wanted to be forced into again...
The package could've been sent out a bit later on the day that I paid (Wednesday 22nd August) - and doing so via Express COULD have meant I'd receive on the Saturday. 3 day delivery has been possible with USPSP in the past. But if it wasn't sent out until 2 days later, and only via 1st Class, the only loser is me, especially considering I paid for it!
