hey guys, i am looking to start selling 5 packs of 8mg dillaudids (the triangles) for 20 btc which is around 10 btc cheaper than whats available right now. I am also looking to start to sell 5 packs of the 8mg suboxone films for 10 btc. I was thinking about just putting them in a manilla envelope that is lined with bubble wrap. I would take them and wrap them in paper or something and also put a stack of blank papers in there with them. Would this method be sufficient? to get my name out there i would give a couple free samples out that would consist of half an 8mg pill in exchange for good reviews. I am also looking for information on how the escrow service works and any other information about keeping me and my customers safe would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch guys, I will let you all know when the free samples will be available. Also how successful do you think I would be with these prices. I would probably only be able to get rid of 30 of the dillaudids per week and around 15 suboxones per week. should i have any problems selling all of those? again thanks a bunch. Im striving to have the best prices and be a reliable and easy to deal with vendor, just new to all of this. ;D

Yea you will sell out every week with those prices. I would suggest using vacuum seal or at least a small zip baggie because pills are known to get crushed going through the mail. Yea wrap with extra paper or maybe use another smaller envelope inside the manilla bubble padded one

Where are you shipping from? But yes, those prices are great. You probably won't have any problem getting rid of 8mg dillis on SR at all, the ones that are priced well don't tend to last long. I've been a buyer for 7 months now and the pills I've gotten before had pretty basic packaging in little baggies and they showed up without problem, but your method seems sufficient. No seller background, so I can't give any info on escrow and such, but I know us customers are favorable of finalizing after arrival, especially for new sellers.

yah i understand people would be warry becuause i have no seller backround, thats why i plan on giving out some halfs as samples to show im not looking to scam anybody. and i would only be shipping in the united states. so the escrow is through silk road? I have never even bought anything on here.

Yes, escrow is through SR. Have you read the sellers guide and been to the wiki? That would be a good first start.

The escrow system is through Silk Road. Basically, a transaction works like this:
1.) I buy your product, and send you my address. Once I buy it, my funds are then placed in an escrow account that neither of us can access.
2.) Once you've shipped my order, you mark the order as, "In transit".
3.) Once it's marked as in transit, I'll have the option to finalize the order. Finalizing an order means that I'm agreeing to release the funds from the escrow account. You then get your bitcoins.
A lot of vendors require new customers, and/or customers without much purchase history to finalize early (often seen abbreviated as "FE"). What this means is that you're marking the item as "in transit" even though you haven't shipped it yet. This protects you against buyers getting your product, and then claiming it never arrived. Some vendors require everyone to finalize early, regardless of buying stats, but this is frowned on by the community, and as long as your buyer has some decent history, it's unlikely that they're going to try and scam you. Even if they do, the escrow system is there to protect YOU as well.
4.) Assuming your buyer didn't finalize early, then once the order arrives, they will finalize the order, and leave some feedback for you.
Some vendors like to get a tracking number on their order, and may or may not give it to the customer. If you have a tracking number, and didn't give it to the customer, and they claim they never got the order, it will give you a lot of leverage if there's a dispute. However, some vendors don't like to get tracking number because of they don't like the extra expense and potential security problems. It's a cost/benefit analysis you'll need to make on your own.
If there is a problem, like the customer never got their order, or you believe they got the order, and they're claiming they didn't, the purchase will go into the resolution center. Here, each side can state their case, and their proposed solution, and a SR administrator will review it and make a ruling.
As far as your packaging, as someone mentioned above, ideally you should vacuum seal the pills, because even with a bubble envelope, they can get crushed. If you don't have a vacuum sealer handy, at least put them in small baggies so that the powder/pieces is easy to get in case it does get crushed. I'd then fold that into a few blank pieces of paper, or better yet print out a random news article or something so that there's some text in there. On the outside of the envelope, I'd print both the return address, and the recipient's address. Send it with first class mail or better.
Finally, make sure to get PGP set up on your computer. It shows Professionalism, and there are a lot of buyers who won't buy from someone that doesn't use PGP.
A few pointers, from a buyer's perspective:
-Don't make promises you can't deliver on. I'd rather have a vendor say, "I can't get this out for four days" and have them actually ship it when they say they will, then, "I'll get this our first thing tomorrow!" and then find the postmark marked days after that.
-If you find yourself overwhelmed with orders, just be upfront with people and tell them so. Most buyers will appreciate your honesty.
-Don't save any addresses or personal info from your buyers once you've shipped their order.
-A quick note saying you've shipped my order is always appreciated.
Good luck! If you're so inclined, I'd like a sample once you get up and running.
-
what is pgp? and of course you can have a sample whever i get this all ready. dont know how long that will be tho
-
I just pm'd you concerning pgp. When you get it figured out, go through the process of using it about ten times so it will stick to your memory

GPA is the easiest PGP OS.
