Post by: Love Potion on June 05, 2013, 10:34 pm
Hey all,
I was curious, as i have just made my first two purchases, how long does it usually take to process said purchases?

thanks in advance,
Love Potion  ;D

It depends on the vendor... Normally it will be marked in transit when it is on the way too you, if the vendor is somewhat competent this will be within 24-48 hours.

Normally yes and in a perfect world this would happen all the time. However with some not all some it can take three, four, five days which is a pet peeve of mine. I would suggest you read the forums and vendor reviews before ordering to get an accurate idea of what to expect from each vendor.

Yes, check out vendor and see their reviews

check reviews, read the vendor's info page. they don't appreciate it if you do something they have posted a caution or advice on how 'not' to make a successful order.  start with small orders from vendors with a clear track record.  be sure you know what you're doing w/ BTc and PGP.  nothing happens instantly - so expect a few days for delivery.  i think 5 days might be considered 'normal'.  perhaps a vendor is near, or far away - my orders have arrived in 5 to 7 days.  SR works great as long as you work with it.
