...thanks for the replies, it's extremely nice to hear from regular buyers who have experience, which all seem positive thus far,  in dealing with vendors on SR.

I am glad to say that one of my orders came through today and was packaged very well and made it from Germany to the UK. So, as I stated, an update on my personal experience.

1. Order from the Vendor - 'DAGOBERT' was SUCESSFUL, the quality of the '1g Maroc Hash' was/is extremely good, just like hash I used to get in the 80's until 'Soap Bar' ruined the market, it required very little heat and crumbled beautifully to a fine dust, sweet buzz and extremely well packed, to boot. So, I can very happily endorse ;D DAGOBERT ;D as a solid vendor :D

2. My second order is with 'B19MEECH', I have read the feedback which all seems extremely good and I also checked the forum which also didn't provide any negative results apart from one which told him to 'gargle spunk' or something, hmmm, not particularly nice; however, I overlooked that one bad review and took his many other positive reviews on board. I am still waiting for my order to come through, to be honest, it is a tad overdue but please, don't misunderstand me, I am by no means slating B19MEECH at this current time, I have had recorded items go astray for a week or so before so it is entirely possible that I am just unlucky and Royal Mail is just not operating as per usual and as such I will have to wait....however, I will update this thread in an honest manner and review my experiences....

- also, to be fair, B19MEECH has answered all my PM's politely and I cannot fault him for that.

UPDATE 2.

I am extremely pleased to add that today, i received a letter from the Royal Mail stating that they couldn't deliver my item as it was £1.12 short of stamps and thus was being held at the depot. This was a point i made to b19meech as he should just find out the postage for 1 item and then he can put stamps on, you see it could've been a trap by Royal Mail as i had to sign and i had to bring i.d luckily i had only put a slightly different name to my regular name. If using a false name also put c/o Your real name or something very close, she didn't ask for id but was meant to and packing was reasonable good actually.

So, I am more than happy to endorse b19meech, i have tested them, they didn't taste like vallies at first but then in the middle was the bitterness expected  and in 20 minutes i had a beautiful chilled glow about me.

I will order again soon as i couldn't fault  ;Db19meech ;D, item is kosher, just needs a few more stamps on it to get next day delivery or within 2 days and to avoid the R.M DEPOT...

Thumb's up, here!  ;D

Rather new to this, but so far I've had a pretty good experience.  I think the key is to do plenty of research on the forums before you decide to actually go through with the order.  If a vendor has a stellar reputation on the forums, especially with veteran members and mods, they're usually a good bet.

I'd say it's above average. Aside from getting scammed, or what I think was scammed since I have no refund yet, it's been a solid experience. Got some really nice buds very quickly from a great vendor in Norcal, and now waiting on some DMT I ordered 2 days ago. The biggest hassle is probably BTC, since you need to jump through hoops sometimes, and if you don't, you have to pay extra for conveniently deposited coins. All in all, it's been a pretty good experience though.

If you dont mind me asking buddy, what was your shipping time with NorCal. And was it coast to coast? box or envelope?

7 months a member. 18 transactions and growing. I'm a noob to the forums, not SR. And not 1 scam on me yet. Hell, If I bought 18 items on the street, I would have got at least a dimebag full of tea or 1 gram full of flour and baking powder, heh. But law of averages says somethings gonna bite me someday. I pray its on like a $2 BTC transaction.

I had an opposite experience from your positive one there with said vendor. So, just to make people aware in case they just go by your statement.
Ordered the same product as you, "Maroc Hash" from Dagobert, he was insistent to finalize early which I did not argue with even though I have a solid buyer rep with no refunds.. Just a few days later I received the seizure notice in the mail- bad luck.
Anyway, I contacted Dagobert about this and all of a sudden he says he does not speak a word of English and he cannot understand.
Then I sent him a link to the copy of the seizure notice and a few words in probably broken German explaining.
To this he replied with a one liner, the link is broke. (I double checked and the link worked fine)
Next I sent him a new link and he replied with just; "????". I really feel he is trying to avoid the situation now by playing dumb.  I've sent him another perfectly functioning link and he is no longer replying anymore.
I certainly hope he can do better than that, but if there is one thing to take from this it is that; no-one, not new buyer or experienced buyer should finalize early for Dagobert, if something does happen to go wrong it is very likely that you are on your own.
DO NOT FINALIZE EARLY FOR DAGOBERT!

On a side not, every other one of my buying experiences have gone relatively smooth :)

Ok, then how about Murphy's Law? Now that shit is for real. And its easy to prove, you see it in effect whenever you change lanes in rush-hour traffic in any major city! LOL.  (hmm maybe I should lay off the LOLs in my posts today, don"t want a LOL OD. LOL. Damn, I did it again, :::snort::: but hmmm good...)

I had the same thought last night, but was not sure where to post it, so I will post it here with an update at the end.

My SR Journey so far.

Hi my heady friends, I thought I would give my experiences on my SR journey so far to give new customers some idea of how to proceed. I heard of this site from a BBC radio report one Sunday night and decided to give it a try, I have been a member for 1 month and spent approx £700 GBP.

I found and downloaded tor with no problems and joined SR (you will not find SR without Tor) the only problem being  my oversight (not putting a pin/password in) but SR admin sorted this out quickly.

On entering the site it was like walking into a sweet shop as a kid, all that beautiful bud and I wanted to try them all, but I had no btc. So my first stop down the SR was the btc exchangers. Not many UK exchangers but decided to try drcashancarry. This took a leap of faith as I had to deposited cash (£300) into a bank account, and then wait for the btc to appear. After waiting 24 hrs for the btc i feared the worst, but the btc was there in my account the next day (give vendors time) and I have had another similar transaction since, his communication could have been better but I could not give a fuck as long as the btc turns up which it did. Another way I have obtained btc which is useful for UK buyers is using a paysafe card. This is available at most UK newsagents/shops who have a PayPoint sign displayed. You give the shop keeper your money(£100 pound limit but you can have more than one) and they give you a receipt with 16 figure code on it. Then back to SR and find a paysafe  to btc  exchanger, I have used  Amsterdamshop  for this with no problems, just send your code and wallet number via pm and your btc will be deposited  in good time. If your  shop keeper is unaware of paysafe cards print this following page and get them to scan the bar code:
 http://www.paysafecard.com/uk/buy/sales-outlets/pin-print/
So now you have your btc who to buy from. If product is needed quickly go for domestic vendor but if you can wait try overseas. Buyer Beware- make sure you research  a potential vendor , check out feedback  first and then go to the forum to see what other buyers have to say about product and service. I did not do this last week with a new vendor to SR and may have been scammed  but I will give them a week (domestic) before I out them. Remember 5/5 Finalised Early means nothing  until it is updated ,  try small amounts  first  so potential loss is small (not like I did going for 7g off this new vendor). I have 26 transactions so far and this is the first suspect vendor but  my fault for not doing my research. So to the good vendors who I have purchased from with no complaints;
happyhippy - Good quality strong green and quick delivery (AK47)
freshtouch  -  Not the strongest  weed  but pleasant smoke, maybe my expectations were to high having tried thai stick in the past which blew my fucking head off (wild Thailand)
Dutchshop -  Standard Hash (commercial afghan hash)
Amsterdamgoods - Stronger than the standard hash (quality primera hash)
Soulrebel - Good looking buds nice pleasant smoke (8 mile high). I prefer 2nd  purchase (grapefruit)
Planta - Sweet tasting weed  pleasant smoke (sugar punch)
Marijuanaismymuse - top quality weed , beautiful looking bud . Wish he would move to the UK because shipping costs a lot but worth it if you want a treat.(purple Krush)
Onestopshop - Good looking bud  and nice pleasant smoke (orange bud)
Cloneuk - Nice looking bud and pleasant smoke (Kush berry)
sweetLeafLondon -  Nice tight bud, a little on the damp side but a good smoke, quick UK delivery(casey jones)
Organic buds - dry tight bud , good smoke (chronic)
Greengiant - top qulity hash ( cheese bubble hash)


I have only just got around to login onto the forums but reading that we have all had similar experiences, I am glad I did. This SR thing  will work fine if we communicate our journey down the road. At this stage my advice would be dont get sloppy and do your research! The suspect vendor I was talking about above was kronn, I ran out of bud last week and tried my best to get some before the week end and put in a 7gr order, reading the forums this may not have been the best course of action to take :'(

I've been here before H was popular in SR, and have being scammed hundreds of dollars by vendors here before. That's why I started the H thread and is happy now that it blossomed into a healthy flow of dealers available.

Overall I find the experience in SR enjoyable, able to know different kinds of people, from shit scams to great dealers. Got XTC, which was a real blast, as well as many nice trips from the top dealers.

One thing I still missed though is to buy some cheap fresh poppy pods down the market like buying vegetables, and chomp them down at home. Ah, miss the dam!

Have yet to experience a scam with 13 (ish?) transactions. I have however received a mail from the police about important a class A drug (MDMA) into the country, but due to low resources, they didnt press charges - luckily. Lots of good acid and shrooms gone through though, not a single problem there.

Hi all,

Been around here for almost 6 months and so I'm truly amazed at the service. If someone had told me a year ago I'd be mail ordering my gear off the net I'd have pissed myself laughing. Now I can comfortably say that SR has treated me to the highest quality products I've ever experienced in my 15+ years of experimentation.

The UK has been suffering from the mother of all H droughts since mid 2010. I had been an addict on and off for around 10 years. SR put me in touch with the first proper gear I'd experienced in over a year and the best I'd had in my life. Since then I've stopped using local gear entirely and only score on here once a month or so. The delivery time and price prevents chain impulse buying (read: addiction) and the quality means it really feels like a treat when I use. Win, win, win etc...

Have ordered the odd E and weed as presents for others and they have always been astounded with the quality. Not yet been scammed, but even if I was it wouldn't put me off now. For sure there's no foolproof tactic for success but if you heavily research your sources prior to ordering you stand a good chance of doing well. Protip: the forums here are much more value as a reference than the SR buyers feedback page.

SR has been amazing so far. I am very new here (a few weeks), and I have had successful orders with..

DudeRugs - 25i
Galindoi - Shrooms
milehighmedicine - chocolate hash cup
maggots - chocolate chip cookies
tony76 - mdma

all were a pleasure to do business with. Had a few vendors cancel my order, and then the listing goes missing. But that never seems to matter since there are plenty reputable vendors.

For me this place feels like.. "home at last"

Been here for a while, and its definitely a great place (for the most part).
The gawker scandal definitely degraded it for a while, but now its good due to sellers having to pay for accounts.

The only problem I had from from the infamous MoneySource, who burned me for 80+ dollars.

Tony76 is one of the best on here. He has made me very happy.

Some other sellers I trust are:

Christy Nugs
Galindoi
