I wouldn't FE, especially for a large purchase. Keep looking, there are tons of weed vendors on SR and I am sure you can find someone reliable that won't make you do it.

If you don't have many purchases / history and you want a QP or more then yes some vendors are going to want FE. Typically if they give a DCN showing its delivered they will get the BTC out of the escrow though if you wait for AF it could take 17 days; some vendors don't want to risk waiting that long on that kind of quantity, especially if they're not huge volume sellers.

I never FE, I wouldn't recommend it. I don't ask for FE's.

Personally as a buyer I would try to find a vendor that does not require you to FE.
We ourselves do not require anyone to FE, and we actually advise against it clearly on our profile.

However, I do understand the FE requirement from a vendor's point of view. Some vendors cannot financially afford to have many orders in transit. You must understand that having $10-100k of orders in escrow/transit is common amongst large vendors. FE would help maintain their liquidity. Also asking NEW buyers (say <10 purchases on SR) to FE weeds out the scammers.

Best,
DM

I see everyone's point on the FE. honestly when I would have friends mail me stuff it would also be a "FE" type situation. Money would be transferred and the product would be mailed. The difference being I knew sender,so i knew that the package had been sent. IF shit got seized  that would have been all on me. I doubt my friend would be able to come up with a few grand...With this place I have no idea who is on the other end.I can see the side from the vendor, weed stinks larger potential of seizure compared to other drugs.
