I want to thank everyone that was patient with me on this GPG things and help me learn. What a learning curve!

so now I am happy. Even though my area is dry, its now bearable thanks to SR.
Brilliant!

Cheers everyone. Positive vibes heading your way

I agree completely. Receiving the first order is shocking.

"What? I got drugs? In the mail?"

SR rules.

Congrats! I'm waiting on my first order. It's a weird mixture of nervousness and giddy anticipation... I'm really interested to see how this stealth shipping shit works. The reviews for the vendor I bought from said his stuff was pretty ingenious

I kept the packaging from my first order for a couple of days - just marveling at it - .for me, it's still a big thrill to get a package.  It kind of sucks not being able to tell anybody about my "packages" so I'm glad we can share our giddy-ness on the forums.  Congrats on your first order, ThePhoenix!  :)

And that, I think, is what it feels like to have the freedom to enjoy yourself while not hurting anyone else.  Enjoy :)

Hell yeah man.  Great way to put it.  Everyone just do their business intelligently and safely, and this train should keep rolling for awhile.  Good vibes in this thread!!

Me too. Waiting on my first two orders to arrive. I've received "stuff" in the mail before but never from SR, so anxious to see how/if it arrives.

Shame we have to skulk around like this, but really glad there is an option like this available.

I think it's often overlooked, but personally I think one of the greatest strengths of SR is precisely that we don't have to skulk around.  We're here in the open in large groups discussing -- well, whatever the Hell we choose to.  I mean technically, we're all aiding and abetting each other by being helpful and sharing tips and tactics.

When you get right down to it, I think there's actually a case they could make to charge all of us with the same things they'd charge any large organized crime organization.  Obviously that's ridiculous and we aren't nearly as organized as it seems with so many of us... but my point is just this: don't take the power of information for granted.  It can do incredible things.  Like the fellow's first package he's getting.

And we helped him learn how to do that.  For better or worse, that's illegal.  Obviously it shouldn't be, but I have to go take more drugs now, so if you'll excuse me...  8)

And so it begins.

My first order; 1g of beautiful molly, that I can be 99% certain of its good quality before trying thanks to the feedback system... that I ordered off the internet (!) and had delivered to my door (!) unknowingly by my national drug mule, sorry, POSTAL service (!)... now sits before my very eyes.

Freedom to enjoy myself, responsibly (yes Mr. Policeman, drug users can still be intelligent and well informed; I've done my research thank you. I know what I'm doing), however I please, without harming anybody else.

I am also waiting on my first order to arrive. Should be here aaaaany day now. So nerve-racking!

It's been a really long time, but I have faith in this vendor.

I'll be sure to let you know how much I jizz my pants when it finally comes...

 ;D

My first order arrived today as well. Thank you to the honest vendors, the staff and community members who help out us newbies to navigate this great source.   :)

I wonder how old all these first timers are? No judgement, just a question.

My first package was amazing!!!!  :)
Made an order from SA and expected it to take about 2 weeks - lo and behold I remember that Saturday morning so well. It actually took only four days to a northern destination and we were absolutely delighted and full of disbelief.
Yesterday 3 packages arrived - hee hee. The mail can be wonderful sometimes.

But, GOOOODDDD the the times when the mail sucks. I could have traveled by foot to pick up some orders, but in the same, I have well other 300 transactions if you count both ends. That's another part of the experience here that undoubtedly, if you stick around, will experience. The waiting game. Be careful to never get complacent though. Just because you are able to sit at your computer blown off whatever it is that gets you off this time doesn't mean that they won't get the second package. I'm sure you have seeing that you took the initiative to learn pgp, but make sure to perform your due diligence with every transaction as if you knew it was a snitch on the receiving end. Freedom doesn't come free unfortunately, but welcome, brother! I feel confident enough in saying that I speak for all other vendors here that the gratitude for taking your time before running to get a moneypak to place your order as fast as possible leaving all sorts of security vulnerabilities on the table. Think of that time as your small contribution to this magnificent creation dubbed, Silk Road.

All the best,

I'm 52 and like to choof now and again. I live in a small coastal town and don't like dealing with the local dealers as I always seem to get fucked over cause I'm an old bastard. I placed my 1st local order yesterday after finally getting some bitcoins. I made a classic noob mistake by buying the exact amount for the order but upon returning to the road the price had gone up - lesson learned. I then proceeded to fuck up again by not contacting the buyer 1st before ordering. Any tips on site etiquette would be much appreciated.

I actually found out about this on a local current affairs program!! Many thanks to the media for the enlightenment. :)

I still cannot believe this works so I am very excited about my 1st order. Now I can smoke to my hearts content and nobody needs to know - I like that.

Cheers to all and Merry Xmas.

Edit: Reading the Wiki now - seems nobody reads it - next is PGP - do you actually use PGP whilst on Silk Road to send messages to vendors?? I assumed as I was already on the site messaging would already be secure.

Ah yes, the bliss when your first order comes in... hell I've disposed of every subsequent order packaging except that cherry popping first time.

Ha! Me too, that first envelope will be kept forever, I never want to forget how incredible this is, it makes me laugh every time I think about it! When my first delivery arrived last week I danced round the house shouting "Fuck yeah!!" whilst punching the air. I love SR, if I could I would marry it.

Congrats! I'm glad to see you speak of using PGP. That is extremely important and something many first timers overlook. It is pretty easy to catch on and there are tons of people here who will help you until you are comfortable. Remember, everyone's security and safety is paramount here. Things like PGP and staying in escrow are two ways to make sure your stay here is a pleasant one.
I know how anxious you can get waiting on that package, especially the first one. Please remember to be patient. Even more so this time of year. If you do have any issues please contact the vendor first, don't just go off and trash their feedback. Any good vendor here is all about customer satisfaction, but remember that is a two way street. Treat the vendors with respect they will make sure you are happy. At least the good ones will ;)
Enjoy your time here and be safe
