Title: How long to wait for seller to ship before getting worried?
Post by: e879281 on June 29, 2011, 11:26 pm
I made 2 orders for heroin from 2 different sellers... it has been 2 days... and I haven't heard anything, the orders are both still "processing" ...

How long before I start to get worried? I am a noob to this, this is my first orders... also I guess I need to get a PGP key and learn how to use TorPM??? I couldn't find anything on TorPM while googling, whch I thought was odd. Am I retarded?

Help assuage my fears!!

Thanks everyone!

If they are still processing then they havent been mailed yet.
You can cancel your order if you want by PM via the vendor and asking to cancel and you will get your bitcoins back, or you can play the waiting game.
Personally 2 days processing is too long for my tastes.

Crap... thats what I was thinking too, 2 days is a long time... I just didn't know if that was normal around here or not. When you say cancel via pm, do you mean PM to the seller or PM to SR? I mean, why would the seller respond to PM? (I actually have tried messaging both of them with no response to see what was up)

Thanks for your help

You also get the option to cancel and order after 4 days if it is still in a "processing" state.

Heroin vendors are usually heroin users, so they can be flakey.
Just do as rake suggested and today or tomorrow you should be able to cancel it yourself.
If you hover your cursor over the cancel button it'll tell you how many days til it's active. :D

Thanks. One of them went to a shipped status... just before the cutoff, lol. I will see what happens. If the cancel pops up on the other one I will do it since I still haven't heard from that guy.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try to let you know what happens...

People don't ship everyday, this isn't eBay, you have to keep a low profile. The 4 day limit in SR is quite appropriate, except for weekends, it should be extended 1 day more.

Some sellers have a 24 hour response guarantee and ship same day or next day. Use them if 2 days makes you nervous.

Yeah, so drugs seem to be easier to count on than others...but it's been a bad week for opiates...but to be honest, 3 different sellers didn't come thru...call me crazy, but I trust all three, and they all answered pm's, and one replaced the btc...so it seems o.k....part of the game: sellers are worried about buyers who cheat them, and buyers worry about bad sellers....and worse, LE...so hang in there...

Keep in mind that this was a holiday weekend coming up.  I'm sure a lot of people had plans for a long weekend.  I ordered last thursday and the first order (of 2) was just moved to "in transit" this morning.  I'm sure the other will follow suit sometime today.

So far one showed up, one hasn't. They both have been in contact with me... one was short, but he contacted me early and told me that it was and promised to send out another shipment... still haven't received the followup. The other said it should have been here yesterday and it wasn't here today... kind of bummed...

My experience has been very mixed with the SR right now. I think about 20% of my orders so far have actually made it to delivery. Some "sellers" have just left things in the processing queue, and were unresponsive to my PMs, so I canceled a couple. One or two sellers canceled on me. I also got caught in the Canada Post strike, so I have 2 orders that have been "in transit" for almost a month. I still believe in SR and I believe that they have built in a lot of good features to protect both buyers and sellers, but I think there are a lot of factors at play here, especially when you are dealing with International deliveries. For me, I am slowing finding out who is reliable and who isn't, and realizing that I am wanting less and less to deal with unknowns.
