I am not a newbie and have been a member for almost a year now but please forgive me for posting this here as I can't seem to post anywhere else.
I really would like to get something I have yet to try and have found the only quality and price reasonable is overseas. Keep in mind this is a personal amount. So here is the dilemma....
Do I order from NL from a very reputable vendor with all the risks that come from that or do I order from UK from another very reputable vendor having to FE; which I did for my first buy and swore never to do again.
I would just say fuck it and wait but I am seeing some friends I have not seen in a while and would like to surprise them with a gift.

always best to go with the one with better refund/reship policies. Can't do that if you have to FE.
I know there is hype about stuff from NL not getting into the US. I think it's over exaggerated as I've ordered several times from NL the only downside is it'll take longer to get here. 3-4 weeks as opposed to 2 weeks.

Thanks for the info. He has nothing but positive feedback and offers a quite generous refund policy. Seems very confident in his methods. I am more just worried about burning the address. It's very inexpensive, so losing the money is no problem; losing the address would upset me though.

holy shit bitcoins are fucking high today!!!!

Think they'll go down?
-
Vendor in UK and FE. It seems you've answered your own question. If you're more worried about losing the place you send it to.
-
I would go for the reship option
-
Getting great delivery rates from other EU, including NL. Why FE when you know better?
-
I'd try to avoid the FE option. If the NL vendor has great reviews for domestic/international shipping and has a decent policy for packages that dont make it then thats def your better bet.
-
Duuude, don't fe. Ive never had a problem with NL in the past.. I think other people have reported problems with fe though ;)
-
what are you ordering from the UK? i managed to find what i wanted domestically without having to FE, mine was weed and hash though
-
If people tell you to FE just say sorry i will get my stuff from another vendor.
-
What are the chances you will get scammed if you FE though?
From a reputable vendor?
-
I wouldn't FE early. You are just asking for it. Especially since you have another option.
The escrow program is the only protection you have.
Let's assume he is a great seller and has no intention of ripping you off. There are any number of things that can happen ( besides theft )that could prevent the seller from shipping after he has your coin. Life happens to people and you would be stuck.
On the other hand let's assume you are an honest buyer you find a buyer that won't require you to FE so you Ho with him/her. You use the escrow system and life happens to you.
The seller will still get his coin and a positive rating auto.
Just make sure you promptly free the funds and leave meaningful feedback.
I understand the sellers irritation. If they ship well, fast and product is as described they are entitled to quick payment and positive feedback.
It only takes a minute.
Hope it all goes well for you.

Everybody has the Netherlands flagged as a country where drugs come from because it is true.
Order small amounts from vendors with high ratings and it will be fine.

Say no to FE!
