Silk Road forums

As the posts above state contact SR support and explain that the vendor has been banned to speed up the resolution.

I have no idea what this thread is about.

I have no idea what I am saying scientifically or trying to ask but I think I have a question...don't laugh.


Could any of these new methods be better spotted by an X-ray? Or are they all of plastic type materials?

Or fuck I guess x-rays don't just spot metals but irregularities... but I'll post it anyway and get the n00b flinging as a result.



Not a big thinker here, just somebody who likes sticking this stuff up my nose. I'm good at that.

As far as I know no they are not but its irrelevant anyway because if the letter gets scanned its gone because the scanners detect any organic matter. Any attempts to shield the contents from the scanner also guarantees it will be opened etc as it is a massive red flag. I had one order seized and when I contacted the vendor and when they described their packaging I wasn't surprised as they were attempting to use carbon paper. They might as well have sellotaped the drugs to the outside of the package.

Seems everyone is in on these MBB's now, I like this!

Soon the list will be "Vendors who don't use MBB" rather than "vendors who do". Popularity is increasing!

we should name and shame vendors who dont use MBB

This should be the SR Standard, weather just domestic or international posting.  (I bet the guy selling this stuff is making a legal killing)

I was watching 'Nothing to Declare' on sky living (uk channel) the other day, program which follows aussie border and customs mainly at the airport intercepting people and packages, anyhow there was a package of car pistons from colombia that they were inspecting.

These pistons were properly machined stainless steel in a factory with no visible tamper marks yet something showed up on the x-ray machine which led them to drill in to them and find 50g of pure yayo in each piston..

If you think a mylar moisture bag is going to avoid a proper inspection then you are wrong. Yes they look nice and pro but they are no more effective than a proper vac seal in a foodsaver bag when it comes to domestic and eu, intl is another gamble.

You are totally incorrect in your assertions there Norfolk I'm afraid and you have completely missed the point of using MBBs.

The purpose of using MBBs is to avoid MVTR (moisture vapor transmission rate) through the packaging, normal food saver PE plastic is vapor permeable in 15 minutes and therefore detectable by sniffer dogs. Mylar and MBB have much lower MVTR and thus drastically reduce if not eliminate the chances of canine detection.

Sorry for the flame but not may vendors on SR are shipping their drugs in car pistons, most come in normal business envelopes and given the volume of these coming through customs they are normally only singled out for inspection when a dog reacts to them.

Hope that helps clarify things.

Positive reinforcement is much better than negative GUS when it comes to changing behavior, just look at how many vendors are coming on board now, won't be long be before those who refuse to change up will be in the minority and seeing their customer bases evaporate.

But yes I agree it must become the standard and I do believe that is already well on its way to happening 

Please contact SR support for assistance.

This is a troll thread right?
