Howdy guys.

How has customs been treating you guys? Still a lot of packages going missing?
I'm looking to make a couple of small orders over the month but you know... I actually want to receive them lol.

Hey, am back after 8ish months and jumped straight back in and all was fine.
I have looked at the forums and you still get the same threads about the same complaints but if you avoid the obvious places its all good.

Thanks mate, that sounds promising.

My success-rates are very low right now <50% for bulk orders, multiple vendors, different countries, clean drop addresses.

Well, that's not so promising. Are you sure you're using reliable vendors?

I'm definitely using reliable vendors, a couple of them I have been buying from for months, and they have reshipped every lost package.

Customs seem to be all over MBB bags in business mail right now, I've been told by someone who apparently has inside information that they are putting all the letters into boxes and X-raying the entire box looking for organic material that doesn't normally belong in letters.

I'm burning drop addresses faster than firewood right now.

I've heard this too, if it's sent using non permeable packaging then the only way it's getting detected is if it's put through the scanners. Can you imagine the logistics of x-raying thousands of pieces of letter mail to small quantities of organic matter in the mail? consider that in the context of knowing tonnes of illicit substances are coming in through the ports.

When you figure out the rationale for that let me know because it seems like a fucking waste of resources if you ask me.

I will go ahead and confirm that a_g_pennypacker on Atlantis is legitimate.

There is such a level of tin foil hat paranoia about Atlantis here that I know that most of you will not take advantage of his low prices. That is good because that means he won't be running out of stock for me to buy any time soon.

The admins of Atlantis just seem like dodgy cunts. Read some of Astor's posts about what they have been doing.

You must mean the post in which astor was saying that a phishing site link was safe, saying it was just Atlantis marketing. He was dead wrong about that, and part of the tin foil hat brigade that I was talking about.

I don't remember him saying that a phishing link was safe so if you can show me the post I would appreciate it. It would make no sense for him to do so.

Either way, the youtube videos and blatant media push by the admin strikes me as reckless and arrogant.

I certainly do not remember reading astor posting anything like what you describe either nanpa, I do recall discussion regarding how the phishing link enabled people to register on the real atlantis site and those who did then and used the same credentials as their SR accounts then got fucked over (why anyone would ever do this blows my mind).

If you have a link nanpa please post it.

Anyone remotely interested in the history of this please take the time to do some reading on the forums, the following will help you get a feel for the context and assist you in forming an informed opinion.

Confirmed vendor accounts of the OP:

* coachella420 - banned
* InfiniteSource - banned
* DealerOfDrugs - banned

Forum alts and shills of the OP:

* coachelle420
* InfiniteSource
* MindBlower
* DealerOfDrugs - deleted own account
* ScammerHoundDog - posted dox and account was deleted by an admin
* dealerofdrugs_vendor
* DoD
* russianundergroundrap

The operator of the accounts listed above continues to present an ongoing challenge to the safety of those who use SR and we will continue to keep a close eye out for them should they try to reinvent themselves under a new persona.

If anyone has any doubt as to why they have been given a lifetime ban from SR a quick search of the forums should reveal enough information to give you the context as this will show that they have only proven time and time again that they have no intention of doing anything apart from trying to cause harm to others and this community.

ssbd

Well like I said it will not auto finalize so if you have not reached an agreement by the time the resolution period expires then an admin will made a decision based upon the merits of the situation.

I am unable to comment on the time lines of your situation, if you have any concerns please contact SR support on the market site and let them take a look at it for you.

Once in the resolution center an order will not auto finalize. Please just ensure your most up-to-date proposal reflects the resolution you are seeking and also ensure you respond to any counter proposals by the vendor. When the resolution period expires if you have not reached an amicable outcome an admin will adjudicate for you both in making a determination.

I'll send you a PM.

This issue does appear to be affecting a few people right now, DPR and the admins are aware of it.

Too many people make assumptions re what they think LE may or may not do, the fact of the matter is they will do just about whatever they bloody well like no matter how much of a waste of tax payers money and resources it uses up, if they want to prove a point they will.

I know for a fact LE have attempted a CD for very small quantities so do no be complacent. To those idiots out there ordering ounces from O/S to their mum and dads house thinking they are 10 feet tall and bullet proof you need to get a reality check, instead of a no show or even a customs letter you may get a nasty shock at some ungodly hour when your front door comes flying off its hinges.

I agree... I think they would just do random CD's for small amounts and publicise it to scare people. That way it isn't predictable and there is no such "safe quantity".

Precisely my point Dingo, too much speculation gets thrown around on here and I fear it gives some people a false sense of security, you only need to read one of the half dozen or so new threads posted daily from very anxious newbies waiting on their order panicking because it's coming addressed directly to then to their place of residence, absolute madness.
