This is ridiculous.
A vendor sent me a parcel, everything is OK. Now, the option to finalize and release the money will be active in 2 fu*king days. Sorry, but this is unacceptable. Can someone could kindly explained to me why do I need to wait anther 2 days to release BTC to the vendor?

ask the vendor to mark the order "in transit" and you should be able to finalize as soon as he does it.

I would suggest you read the Silk Road Wiki, the Buyer's Guide and the Seller's Guide in order to garner a greater understanding of how the entire system works.

NOTICE: If you are a new vendor, you may not ask your customers to finalize their orders and release payment to you before you ship, a practice known as "finalizing early". If you do this, you will lose your selling priviledges. Once you have completed 35 successful transactions and have been a seller for at least one month, you may ask your customers to finalize early without reprocussion. In no way do we support finalizing early in general and this rule should not be construed as support for finalizing early for more established vendors.
You have bought a product from a 'new vendor'; that is, a vendor whom has made less than 35 sales and / or been a member for less than a month. Due to past scamming behaviour, a restriction was placed on new vendors forbidding them from asking buyers to Finalize Early. A period of 4 days was selected, as this is also the amount of time a vendor has to process and ship an order before the buyer is given the option of cancelling it. If the vendor decides to ask the buyer to FE, the buyer has the option to cancel the order instead of having to risk their Bitcoin by going outside the safety of the escrow system.
As 'ridiculous' as the current setup may seem, it is in place in order to protect you, the buyer.

Yeah, looks like the vendor didn't mark it in transit. That's his or her fault.
