Silk Road forums

I made a fairly big order last sunday and with the attacks on silk road the vendor didn't post it until Wednesday. He posted it 1st class royal mail, It is now Saturday and still not here. I have had many orders from silk road UK to UK and none have taken more than 2 days. I am really worried because it is a lot of money to me.

Forgot to say i had to finalize early because of the attacks

Hi dan2690,

It is not unusual for postal delays to occur with orders from time to time. However, nobody can say for certain whether you should be worried or not.

As you finalised early there is nothing that Silk Road can do to help you in this instance. Never, ever FE. Feel free to PM me the name of the vendor and I'll let you know if I've heard of any problems with them in the past. You should also do a forum search for their name from the main page (click Silk Road forums in the top left corner and do your search from that page).

Always research your vendor before doing business with them, and never FE.

I'll leave this thread open for the time being to see if others have also been experiencing postal delays.

+1 Karma for Jack n Hoff (if that is how it is done)

When you reach 100 posts an option will become available under the poster's avatar to give positive or negative karma.

Weres my tracking number samgiancana ya mug its been nearly 7 weeks and still got nothing you already sent me dodgy tracking number and then said you will fix it first thing in the morning that was 5 days ago ya cabaury kid im so over it now GIVE ME A REFUND and sort ya shit out im guessing by all these post on this thread im not the only one you pulled a slim shady on dead set PULL YA HEAD IN

just4kikzz, your best bet is to communicate directly to SamGiancana over on the marketplace when it is back up - it's entirely possible that he/she is not reading this, especially given its location.

Again, sorry for your misfortune - I sincerely hope you have better luck with your next purchase.

Hi folks,

What you're seeing is the Silk Road tumbler in action. It's nothing to worry about, in simple terms it 'tumbles' your BTC with those of others to obfuscate their origin and destination.

You should receive your deposits within 24 hours. If you do not, send a message to SR Support on the main site with the details of your transfers, namely the deposit address and date / time.

On the vender options it has 'back up address' (so your coins come out when the sites down) well mine haven't been sent any other vender with this problem?

Transfer of funds to your back up address will only occur if the site is taken offline for good - what we are currently experiencing is temporary downtime.

I know it seems very unlikely that anyone will listen to this request, but I feel as a vendor it it very important for me to be able to activity promote my products. I would be really nice to see a feature on the website that allowed me to interact with my fans, I am proposing not that I even have access to my fans usernames (although that would be nice), but that I can send out a group newsletter/message, promoting my products and offering my fans discounts and sales on my privet listings. I feel that by implementing such a feature, you could bring more worth to the fan system, allowing for better communication throughout. 

This is a great idea and one which has been brought up before; however it would require an extra section to be added to the site so as buyers aren't bombarded with messages straight to their inbox from vendors that they have 'fanned'. Some buyers have 30 or more vendors on their fan lists so inboxes would get out of hand fairly quickly.

As a result I don't think it's something we're likely to see in the near future, especially because every addition to the site adds a potential security risk in its code. A good suggestion all the same though!

when these issues are meant to be resolved,,, looking forward to order some stuff but my coins are stuck somewhere as well.
seems like a lovely start

Hi spiriticon,

DPR has a thread in the Silk Road discussion forum regarding the current site attack which is causing these issues; you can find it here:

http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=153045.msg1061435#msg1061435

If the BTC that you transferred to Silk Road do not show up within 24 hours of you sending them then send a message to SR Support when the site is back up with the details of your transfer (deposit address and sending time & date) and they will get it sorted for you.

Please don't let the current issues put you off Silk Road - it boasts uptime of over 97% which is incredibly good for an onion site such as this and is the most reliable place to shop for your drugs of choice once you do your research on vendors before making a purchase. Always check the forums for information about a vendor before purchasing from them.

In the meantime, please also read the following if you have not done so already - they will help make your first purchase a lot smoother as you will understand the process in full from start to finish :

Please also consider reading the Seller's Guide as it will give you a better idea of how the ordering process works, and what you should expect from vendors.

Thanks, that helps. I understand the process now.

tbh, as soon as the vendor asked me to finalize so he could refund (?) I knew something was up. I highly doubt I'll ever see any product. I just hope the decision maker finds in my favour.

Vendor's name is: MrAnonymousX

Yeah as long as you stay in escrow you'll most likely receive a full refund, especially if others report similar circumstances. When he said he wanted you to finalise so he could refund you, he was talking about you finalising so that he could send the BTC directly back to you - it would seem that he had no intention of doing so in any event.

I've never heard of MrAnonymousX but with any luck others will see your posts and won't do business with him. Thank you for bringing this issue to the attention of the community, and I hope everything works out for you.

Locking this thread as resolved.
