Title: Couple of seller questions on sending 50gr+ weed orders..
Post by: Holland_SR on October 03, 2011, 08:32 pm
Guess I have to learn fast..

I have had some requests for 50gram or more (2 oz) to be sent to the UK or to the US. What is the reasonable way to deal with this?

Is it possible to see a buyers reputation before he actually buys? Guess I should put 'good standing' in the auction as a requirement..

Do sellers usually do this out of escrow? Escrow adds up quickly if I do that, bit of a risk.

Thanks!

There are plenty of threads on how to properly send weed on this forum, all you need to do is search and you'll find the information you're looking for.

You can't see a buyer's reputation until s/he puts in an order.

Going out of escrow can screw over buyers very easily, and disgruntled buyers can raise a stink on the forums. My advice? Unless you're absolutely certain that going out of escrow is a good idea then I'd use it.

Don't forget, going out of escrow can screw over sellers too, which is way more likely. So, always get your money(bitcoins) up front before you ship the order. I myself would not prefer to use escrow just because I don't want my bitcoin address tied to the SR escrow address (you never know who's coins you may be getting) !

Well, it may be a luxury problem, but the escrow amount runs up pretty quickly to uncomfortable levels...

I wasn't asking about double vacuum etc, more interested in likelihood that things go wrong with larger amounts. What percentage of first time buyers are trying to scam? So far my weed buyers are verrrry relaxed  :)

How are disputes normally settled, if it doesnt arrive? 50/50? either by refund or direct payment? Or do sellers state how they will handle in the auction, havent seen that much.

I'd love to hear some input, specifically on bulk shipment of cannabis from anyone with experience.

Yeah, I'd love to hear more also !  With the retards who live in my community, I just can't trust 'em ... If you know what I mean ... So, something along the lines of bulk shipments, even ounces, but most likely pounds would be a real great ! I grow good shit and need a way to sell it all without anybody in my area even knowing that I have anything to do with weed. The SuperSkunk should be done in the next two weeks by the way. I might only get a half pound though of nice buds .Thinking into the future, I've got a GPS receiver and can dead drop pounds of weed, but who would be willing to drive to my state and pick it up ? I mean I suppose it would be worth it to drive a long ways to pick up a few pounds right ? We need to come up with a viable, discreet, pig-proof method of moving the product.

Well, I'm not a seller anyway, but I'm trying to buy some weed from a friend inside my country, searched this topic on silkroad and didn't find anything specific for large packages.
