Title: Noob questions :)
Post by: mrmdma on November 17, 2011, 08:28 pm
Hi guys, new member here.
Recently made my 1st ever purchase and just was wondering, should I expect the seller (Juergen) to send me some notification when he ships my goodies? I sent my shipping info to him encrypted when making the purchase, finalized early etc... So now I just wait or? Worst part is I'm not 100% sure if I did the encryption correct. Used some step by step guide from security section to encrypt my message using tails in build encryption.
Thanks in advance :D

With Juergen, after you finalize, he will send yer order and you just sit back and wait. He will not contact you. Just assume when you finalize is when it is mailed. Its shouldn't take much more than a week for US orders and his packaging is the best.

Also, if the PGP was messed up then Juegen wouldn't be able to read anything and he would let you know. Just sit back and relax. Be sure to update the feedback when you recieve though.

Welcome to Silk Road, sweetie!

Sickboy pretty much covered it, I just wanted to say hello and also remind you to be careful when finalizing early for anybody! You're not required to do so, and escrow is there for your protection. Juergen is a great guy so you're certainly safe with him, but just remember once you finalize, absolutely nothing can be done if for some reason you don't receive your item or if anything goes wrong. I try to finalize early sometimes, but when I do, I always consider whatever money I've just sent is theirs nomatter what, and I'm not afraid of never seeing it again.

Sorry to ramble on, and i mean no offense to Juergen at all, like i said he's a great vendor. Just be safe and I hope you have many excellent experiences here!

You finished it up. ONLY finalize fer the very top international vendors who have a reputation to uphold. A new vendor will take yer $. They don't give a fuck.

Thanks guys, such a nice community here :) And yeah, I'd never finalize early unless I'd have read only positive feedback from the vendor. I guess now I'll just sit back and wait :) Can't wait to post results.

NEVER FINALIZE EARLY. "FINALIZE" is for when you've received product and the transaction is done.

Yea well didn't have much other choice than finalize early since I was a first timer. Now I'm still waiting for my "post card" to arrive :)
Guys any idea on how long can it take for "goodies" to arrive to Finland from Germany? Been 4 days so far if I'm right

After placing an order, you can click on "Orders" on the main SR page - it will show the order you placed as either "processing" or "In transit" - once it says in transit, it should be in the mail or will be very shortly.  Overseas usually takes 4-5 days, but it can vary, so don't get freaked out if it doesn't come right away

Totally agree, it's the only time I have lost money.
