Is it harder to get your orders from an Australian vendor? I keep on hearing people say that it's best to only buy Domestic, but it seems Australian vendors are an exception to this rule, and most Australian buyers solely buy overseas. Why is that?
-
because australian prices are 5 times more expensive then OS, so aussies buy OS to get 5 times their money's worth, unless they are desperate and need something fast.
-
I'm not sue if I fully understand your question, there are quite a few very reliable AU domestic vendors who are mostly reselling product bought from o/s on SR. The price buying domestically though is quite high hence why many people order from o/s at a fraction of the cost.
If you want fast and reliable service avoiding customs and are happy to pay the premium for that service they buy domestic. If you are happy to take your chances with customs and a longer wait then go o/s.
I have had very good experiences with Neon Lights, Enter The Matrix, aussieExpress for domestic MDMA if that helps.

I was actually reading through the Aussie Vendors thread, and I kept on seeing "But I don't buy from OZ anymore", was thinking it might be because they got scammed allot or that the actual product was not good enough, glad that isn't always the case. Thanks for helping out mate. :D

Bit disappointed with my first purchase, was told it'd be sent express yesterday so should've arrived today but nothing and now the vendors removed all listings. Whats it mean if I can't reply to the vendors review thread? Have messaged but yet to hear back.

Neon Lights
Not sure what is going on there then, Neon has always been fantastic to deal with and I was exchanging a few PM's with him only the other night. All I can say is in my experience Neon is a professional vendor who takes their reputation very seriously and would not want to risk getting some bad reviews.
If you haven't heard anything by tomorrow something is definitely not right.
-
Thats what I'm afraid of.. my first purchase wasn't exactly cheap but with all of his/her positive reviews I thought I could count on it getting here before the weekend :(
Sent them a message 3-4 hours ago, hasn't been read.
-
Do I need a certain number of posts to reply in their review thread? One other expected his things Fri but also didn't receive any.

Yes you need to have made 50 posts, pm princessHIGH and ask her to repost in the main forum for you.

I don't know what you are talking about. Australian vendors are some of the best in world. *sucking up much ;)* The only issue is the exorbitant prices that we pay local. Many of the top Australian vendors have quality that you can't find on the streets of oz, making them great alternatives to the dodgy back alley, bullshit talking dealers in RL.
The issue with OS vendors especially for newbies is the risk involved that many aren't prepared for and will invariably spam these boards with once that has been experienced. (myself humbly included). Don't knock out local SR vendors. Had some of my best transactions with the local oz scene. If they weren't there you'd be waiting twice as long for your high and "taking jerwbs" away from those hard working Aussies who try to bring some quality into my market.

Once you have some wins OS you cant buy Local anymore. One letter with a g of meth and you are nearly 10 times ahead, hard to go back but waiting is a bitch but it builds character and makes the drugs just that little bit stronger.
-
Is it standard practice to finalize the order the day I got it? Thanks for the replies! Hoping there was just a mishap and it arrives Mon..
-
As soon as is practically possible. If you have your product the vendor should have his cash. Only fair and remember without that cash the vendor won't be able to restock for you when you want that next order ;)
Express doesn't always mean Next Day its in your hands. Just be patient and give items up to a week. Vendors are busy people with many many orders. Plan ahead if possible, placing orders early in the week means you'll usually have it in 2-3 days.
-
Thanks for that! Well he knows the payments sitting there waiting and as I'm new I did as he requested and told him I know I'm new etc and will leave feedback (and finalize payment if required) the day I receive it. Just from our communication I let him know I was hoping he may send it Wed the day I paid but he said he can only send Thurs which I was okay with if it came Fri, unfortunately it didn't.
But yes true, if all goes well and its here Mon atleast I've still got an event I need it for, I'll be a happy man and he'll have a return customer and positive feedback plus I'll release the funds the moment I get home. Thanks again! :D

I wouldnt be worried yet. I think the listings will disappear when the vendor is sold out.

I was more worried that he said on Wed I'd have it by Fri and I don't - then the unread messages from me asking what was up. Others in his review thread have said he stopped replying 3 days ago as well, hoping he's not having any trouble, judging by others feedback he always sent stuff out quick. Still hoping for the best, will report back tomorrow regardless.

Have had nothing but great success with EnterTheMatrix, Neon Lights and PuffinBilly. ETM is apparently MIA at the moment, I must have got in just before this all happened -- same with NL. I received a package from NL Wednesday last week, after it was sent on Tuesday (the day before). ETM was actually same day (I had to FE in the morning before work as it was my first transaction, and it was waiting for me when I got home that afternoon!). PuffinBilly sent his stuff via regular post, but if I remember correctly I ordered on Monday night and received it Friday -- no complaints at all from Aussie vendors. Some people don't like the price, but I'm not buying often and I'm not buying it to sell/make a profit -- it's just to treat myself :) Would rather not run the risk and pay that little bit extra and get it via domestic post!

Do not place any orders with EnterTheMatrix or finalize on any outstanding orders.
-
What happens if the seller lams it and we haven't finalized the payment? Do we get it returned?

You order should be automatically cancelled and your coins immediately returned to yo in full with no damage to your stats.

Great :D Checked the mail again today, still nothing. Very strange and very disappointing, especially with the other Aussie seller going rogue.

Neon Lights = Scammer.
OzCure = 5/5, took 20 hours to arrive overnight :D
Does anyone remember who was selling the green/red apples? I really liked them.
Tried the DC's but seem to be fairly low in MDMA despite testing well - maybe I just needed a higher dosage.
But yes, green or red apples anyone able to help? :D
-
EnterTheMatrix made the news! Scum bag. http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/underweb-anger-as-silk-road-seller-does-a-runner-20130226-2f36q.html

How did neon scam you supershred?
I know they pulled their listings and disappeared in a hurry but I haven't read anything to indicate they intentionally scammed anyone before vanishing. I suspect they ran into issues in IRL but I guess we will never really know what happened now,

Because if I had've FE'd I'd be out of pocket a whole heap of $$ that he obviously hasn't made any effort to refund. If I needed to disappear I'd atleast refund the customers and not leave them hanging in the wind.

True, if you had FE'd you would indeed have been fucked but I'm assuming you didn't? in which case you are fine and will get a full refund with no damage to your stats.
I have no idea what happened to neon but given the effort they put into building their business it would be reasonable to assume whatever caused them to go MIA was serious enough for them to walk away from all that hard work and effort, no offense mate but a few outstanding sales was probably the last thing on their minds.

One thing I've noticed on SR street drug prices here Aust Domestic reflect or are sometimes cheaper than the actual price on the street.
However prescription prices are ridiculously high, 5 Vals for $35, one dexy for ten bucks,,,,,,seriously??!!!
I have also noticed that prescription prices from over seas vendors esp India are a lot higher than if you were to order
online normally which has the same legalities anyway, which makes me think people can be based here in Australia, I take your
money $100 for 50 Valium then jump on the net and order them to your address on an indian pharm where i pay $50 for the
same order. Im relying on an unknown vendor to discreetly package your order.....well I guess if u r too lazy to put the effort in

Hey folks. Speaking of long-awaited orders (and an increasingly nervous buyer), I'm wondering if anyone's got news on ShardMinister? He's been utterly brilliant with all facets of trading since I started dealing with him, but he's mysteriously gone quiet for nearly 2 weeks now. I'l be forced into an unwanted resolution phase with him in a couple of days, but if anyone's heard anything lately, let me know, eh? I don't particularly wanna be another sad SR statistic, but I'm equally worried for him because he seemed kinda cool on many levels, and his washed coke was fucking unreal at last sample.......
Mind you, Neon Lights was awfully nice when I first PM'd him too. Lucky I didn't place an order!
[and sorry Shardy - didn't wanna negatively advertise you, if you do re-appear soon.......]

If you've placed orders with SM, or any other vendor thats recently done the "mark-item-in-transit-then-disappear" act, i would very strongly suggest you DONT ORDER ANYTHING ELSE FOR A WHILE.
Especially via Aus Express Post, which has red flags everywhere, and is under a lot of focus incase anyone hasnt already worked it out.

care to elaborate a little? Is this coming from speculation or from a legit and referable source?
I would not be surprised if Auspost, specifically express, was getting some pressure to weed out the naughty ones but the logistics of it are mind boggling and not something a company that likes making money would be keen on.. Noteworthy though is that Auspost is owned by the UN.. kind of anyway, and there are resolutions we and many other countries are signatories to that governs the use of the mail system to transport illicit drugs or precursors. So at the end of the day its completely within reason to say that shit is going to get difficult but .. really... it would need to be >10-15% of the total mail being drugs and such to justify any effort or screening program. targeted though.. well.. again please be specific so as to avoid hysteria...
I miss Shard and hope he is ok and the issues that had been building in his RL have been sorted.. its sad but from the evidence and the conversations I have had with him I don't believe this exit was a planned thing.. well not at the time it happened. He had stated a need to have a break but I don't believe that the timeframe he had locked in fits with the sudden exit that happened..
any solid info out there please PM me. I may or may not share my info and the solid reasons I have for assuming something drastic has taken place but ... I really have good reasons to believe that to be th case..
:-(
hope your ok bro and that what is the rarest of rare has happened... that I'm wrong... ;-P

- 3 Express Post items in the past 2 weeks, contents tampered with (I should know, i sent them), envelopes opened and re-sealed very professionally. Like, by someone who knows what they're doing. No delivery delays.
- Other information, the details of which i would be an idiot posting on a public, google-searchable, google-cached public forum, or even PM'ing to someone I dont know, as it would potentially compromise myself and someone else.
And the logistics of it are not mind-boggling at all. Think mail-redirection service, when u move house and pay Aus Post to send your mail from old-address to new-address. The systems are already in place. If you have ordered from a compromised vendor and LE has your address details from them, your address gets flagged.
I have nothing to gain personally by posting this info, so make your own decision to either chill for a while, or keep ordering. Find out for yourself. Express Post is hot now.

I suspect that a crackdown at AusPost would still be like looking for needles in a haystack ... SR is not that popular yet !
However some vendors need to pay more attention to stealth ... Easy detections only encourage more attention
Unfortunately, the more popular the vendor, the more difficult the postage problem becomes ...

Well.... I think you have taken a reactive system and given it a preemptive power.. Like it sounds like your saying that because the redirect system does what it does then they must know about all the mail in the system at any given time allowing them to take a letter addressed to one address and direct it to the new address completely bypassing the old address.. this is not how it works .. The letter goes to the local PO and they have the records and they put the yellow sticker on and put it back in the system and so a day or so later than usual that letter arrives at the PO for the new address and is delivered. The point is that Auspost isn't 'aware' of the letter until it is being sorted at the local PO for the mailman to deliver... basically until its in the postcode sorting the only thing that is really read is the postcode... didn't you Wonder why the little box's for the postcode are big and offset and have a colour border.....
I'm thinking maybe the 2/3 that got opened where from someone to you or you to someone else so that's how you know of them and that's also who the other person you would 'compromise' by posting... I'm seeing a common thing here about how you came to your conclusion.. I'd clean house and tell your mate to as well and I'd be expecting a visit from the local constabulary real soon man cause its really sounding like maybe you or your mate are 'hot' at the moment... watching 2 addressees is not so difficult...
be safe man..
