I'm planning on reporting the vendor Pillsfast AKA Dr Pill. I ordered some dex from him, and because it was the beginning of finals week and I'd put off procuring anything until the last minute, I was forced to pay for overnight shipping. It's expensive, but I'm desperate and a good grade is worth more than $30. As of now, my order has been sitting in processing for three days, well after the guaranteed 48 hour arrival time. I would normally be okay with just going to resolution, however this happened to me ordering from Dr Pill. This person claims to have ironed out their shipping problems, but I see no evidence of that.
If I do report, what happens? I assume it's similar to the resolution process?

Technically, he has 4 days to process your order. SR allots him that. However, if he agreed via PM to get your order out immediately, SR staff can view those PM's to support your case.
I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but I hope that info helps.

It couldn't hurt to contact support or a mod on the forums.
You did everything right on your end however i had a similar situation where i needed something to come within a week i had enough BTC and ordered from 2 different vendors the same day and thankfully so, because one never arrived but im glad i ordered a duplicate.
good luck

No one can do anything for you except the vendor. That's the only person. Reporting it does nothing at all. No one can compel or give him an incentive to move faster.

Unfortunately it won't matter if you report it - the vendor is not breaking any Silk Road policies, so nothing can be done. You can consider taking it to resolution and requesting a % refund (to the value of the Express shipping) to compensate you for it, and I would think you would get it, but you would also increase the refund rate on your purchasing stats.
The % amount that shows up on your stats may surprise you if this does happen, so please see the SR Wiki entry about stats here:

Never have any expectations when you order something off of SR, other than that the vendor will send it and you will receive it within a 10 day period (if domestic) or a 20 day period (if international). That's it. All these stories about, "I wanted it by this date and didn't receive it!" are bullshit. Don't give yourself a 1 or 2 day grace period give yourself a week minimum before you need it.
