Unless it is a weekend or Holiday, No vendor EVER should take more then 1 day to ship an item. Meaning they should ALWAYS ship the item the next business day at the latest. The exception to this is the vendors that say on their page ... they only ship on certain days. The worst thing about Silk road is WAITING! And the worst wait is when you place an order and you are just waiting to see " In transit". And that is also one of the best moments....when you see that switch on your order page to in transit. The vendors that mark a package in transit...but in fact have not even packaged it yet and it is not an honest mistake, should have their vending privileges suspended for 14 days minimum. And fined the price of the order. That would stop this bullshit. Other then scammers, there is nothing worse to me then reading about a vendor that marks the package in transit..but has not done shit..Then to make it even worse...they do not return messages to explain(lie) about that bullshit.
