Saw he is pretty new without feedback. Pretty good deals on 1/4z of mids for $6-7 bitcoins.
Anyone try them or heard anything?
-
bump.
-
Was wondering the same thing. Glad there is a thread made. He does not require people to go out of escrow, so I don't think there should be an issue. Also his mids prices are fantastic..hopefully there will be more reviews up once I get my bitcoins.

Just placed an order with TrustusJones. As a newbie account on this forum my opinion may not matter much, but I will update how the purchase goes.

Hi All,
Just wanted to say I appreciate you asking about me and that I have filled about 10+ orders this past week so expect some more reviews shortly.
I am the real deal and I plan to be a top seller here at Silk Road.
Keep an eye out for some new product coming soon! (US based Bean seller?... hmmm could be)
Thanks again!
Trustus Jones

I look forward to seeing some reviews come in. Right now Jones is the only seller selling anything less than high grade weed on here, it's definitely a gap that needs to be filled by someone.
-
My order from TrustusJones came in yesterday. Packaging was good, and he even threw in a little extra. I opted for the blueberry flavoring out of curiosity. I was worried about it wetting the bud too much, but it burns fine and leave a good after taste. Great communication throughout the whole process, and one of my new favorite sellers here.
-
I have mixed feelings about my first order from Trustusjones.
Good: quick shipping, the weed works, price was decent, weight was correct (though not 10-20% heavy, as suggested), clearly marked business return address for stealth.
Not so good: Trustusjones justifies his shipping charge (no explanation is necessary) by saying he always ships in metal containers. My order was sent in a small ziplock bag inside a foodsaver-type vacuum sealed bag, inside a folded piece of mylar or something similarly opaque, all inside a plain bubble envelope. No metal container, which I wouldn't care about though it was promised, and I could smell marijuana from the moment I opened the outer shipping envelope - vacuum bag failed, apparently. Also, at the time of my purchase the product was listed as "Great mids bud" or something like that. It is cheap, HIGHLY compressed Mexican weed. Don't get me wrong, it works and is not seedy or a bunch of twigs, but it is otherwise about as terrible looking as anything you are likely to find. Yes, it gets you high. Great or "mids"??? No.
Will I order again? I don't know yet. The item description was poor (kind of misleading) and the packaging was suspect and not as promised. I would be a bit concerned that the packaging could fail catastrophically, leading to someone becoming aware of the contents - I'd bet a dog could have smelled mine before I opened it. However, as I said, the weed works, and no one else on SR is selling "regular" weed. You could probably beat the price locally, if you know people, but the overall deal isn't bad, and not everyone wants to pay $15/gram for bud with a crazy name.
Judge for yourself, I'd probably rate my transaction 3.5/5 if I could, higher if the description had been less deceptive or if the packaging had been better. Finalized early and rated 5/5. If you want crumby brickweed delivered to your mailbox, this might be your guy.

Received my order today and everything was spot on. Had a small mishap in the beginning, but TUJ made up for it. Kept in communication with me from beginning to end. I would agree with MooChoca however about the metal container that justifies the $5 shipping. My product was wrapped in a similar fashion as his/hers vacuum sealed, zip lock bag, but no metal container. However I could not smell mine until I opened the last layer and smelt the blueberry goodness. Overall seamless transaction with good product/price. Will buy from TrustUsJones again! (even though his prices went up a little)
-
I ordered from TUJ on Tuesday. and received my order on Saturday.
Communication 5/5
This was really where this redor shines. He was extremely responsive, and even pm'd me unprompted to let me know that my shipment would be delayed and offer a refund. Even though he did request that I finalize early (contrary to his own terms), his level of communication put me at ease.
Packaging 4/5
Look, the packaging was fine. It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible, it was just fine. I don't think it lived up to his description, and don't know that it justified the extra $5, but the seal worked.
Quality 5/5
Given that it was mids I am happy with the product. It came in overweight, and was exactly what I paid for. I took a hit without the spray, and damn if it didn't bring me back to high school. The spray he sent did make for a much better smoke.
Overall 5/5
I would us TUJ again when in need of bulk Mids, but I do want to try fabled to see how his stuff stacks up.

Just wanted to jump on and thank everyone who has ordered and cover a few of the comments.
1. Shipping: in the beginning I had intended to place all orders in metal containers but based on the size of some orders this became too hard to do. I am going to lower my shipping on orders that I know will not ship this way and also work harder at making sure my packaging is better. I will triple seal all weed orders from here on out.
2. Weed Quality: this is the toughest part of the business as I really have no clue what the quality will be like from week to week. I always try and negotiate with my contacts and try and get the price lowered on inferior quality so I can pass the savings on. The stuff I had two weeks ago was mexican press but it was all bud and really pretty good. The stuff I got last week was not as good, seedier and had a lot of leaf. To compensate I did lower my prices and changed the listing name from 'Great Mids' to 'Mexican Press'.
I honestly do not want to deceive anyone and am working hard to make my ads as honest as possible and my shipping also as good as possible. I appreciate the constructive comments and will take everything you have said to heart.
Thanks again for allowing me to serve you.

Ordered some a week ago. I suspect it's almost here but is a tad late due to president's day and sunday getting in the way.
-
UPDATE: So as my previous post in this thread implies: I ordered from trustusjones (10 days ago, now). Seeing that I was a new buyer he asked me to finalize early (I've yet to see a vendor who wouldn't, heh) so I went along. I knew full well what could go wrong and accepted the consequences, I'm not complaining here. As far as I cared, the money that I placed into silk road was good as gone, and if I got anything from it I'd gained more than I expected. It's the same way I rationalize playing poker, really: take 100 dollars expecting to lose it. It's like paying 100 dollars for a fun experience, if you win great if you lose so what?
BUT I digress, enough being a defensive faggot about my own idiocy/disregarding the escrow system. My experience with TrustUsJones:
His communication is surreal. I'd send him a message right before work expecting a response once I got home from work, and before I even leave the house I have a response from him. My best friends aren't even that fast.
His prices are cheap compared to most everyone else. I'm unsure of the quality, fine, but when you're poor and a know-nothing when it comes to quality anyways price is really all that matters. Not to mention that when I said I was unsure of whether I'd want the blueberry spray on it he offered to send me some with it to try for myself!
>>>Now, I never did actually get the product. I assume it was lost in the system, or maybe it's still on its way and just taking a while (in which case I won't keep the refund he gave me). But you know what? Even dealing out of escrow, with a new user and as a new vendor, he still gave a refund for a lost product--and a 90% refund at that! That is some pretty damn amazing customer service.
ALL THAT TO SAY: He is a pretty cool guy. I'd try for a little less than I did (1/2 oz. T_T) when ordering from him for the first time, and make sure to use the escrow system obv., but you can bet he'll answer pretty much anything you ask him promptly and in a polite way. As always, buy at your own risk--but I'd say given how new a vendor he is, he's doing incredibly well... I mean seriously, he's MASTERED the art of good customer service. That's more than can be said for the majority of people in the world.

I love the good brick weed. I actually mix the good stuff and some mexi to make a supreme mix. I just wish it would be cheaper. Sure wish I still had connections for cheap pounds, could make a killing off this site. And whats with the blueberry spray, you guys really that spoiled with prime herbs you cant enjoy a little dirt. ;)
wish there were more sellers selling cheap weed, and then it might actually be cheaper than what I get down the street. 5 bills plus for a quaper of mexican brick!!!!!!! Crazy shit almost buy the good weed at those prices.......but you do what you gotta do.
-
Thanks I.F. for the good review even though your package 'got lost'... that was one of only two I have lost so my track record is still pretty good.
I have also implemented the security procedures I mentioned in my last post so smell should NEVER be a problem.
I just lowered the price of all my Mids and Mexican Press across the board. I don't just arbitrarily make up prices... a lot of thought goes into how much I charge based on the cost of doing business, shipping above the small amount I charge which just covers postage... in most cases I eat the cost of all the packaging. SR's % also eats in nicely and then the cost of converting bitcoins... driving to different post offices all over the city to keep from becoming recognized... etc... etc.
I have been a seller for 27 days, completed 42 transactions and maintain a 100% positive feedback rating.
And I LOVE IT!, hope to be here for a long time to come.
Thanks to you all who keep us busy.

Hey I totally understand your reasoning on pricing, this aint the street I know. Hell I can only get 4 bill quapers of brick at the moment, does a bill a zip though....Not really on the silk road for herbs though. Buddy grows the finest seeds from the Dam. And another gets the brick. Came on mainly for the cid which is no where in my circle of things. Hell I can barely get rid of shrooms when I grew to my buddies these days, fucking old geezers!!!!
Anyways seems you are doing a much needed service here offering the brick.

Bought some oxy from TrustUs last week and they were shipped and in my mailbox in about 3 days. Perfectly shipped and sealed. Will be happy to do business with again. Where TUJ really shines is how communicative he is- I for one will happily pay for anonymity and convenience when it's made a top priority.
Fully recommend.
-
Just got my order today, fully recommend :) item came super quick and was packaged nicely, thanks!
-
Got my order today. It's nicely packaged, generous in amount, and looks pretty good - if you consider the price, it looks incredible. I'm going to go roll it all into a joint, toke up and post back after ^_^
Fully recommended. Good communication, quick ship, everything you could ask for in customer service.
Edit: I can't believe I got this for $5. I paid $20 for this grade of weed in high school, and that involved having to meet the kind of kids you buy weed from in high school (to be fair, some of them are alright)
It's better than what I'm used to calling mids, though its obviously not dro or indoor. But its got a healthy kick. Gonna go watch some Danny MacAskill vids and chill the balls out.
As for my roll it all into a joint plan, I am healthy on half a G of it. Yay low tolerance.

strawberry vanilla kush was very good, BUT way too pricey for an oz., like almost 500usd!
I guess stomping heads doesn't just apply to the street!

your 100% correct mikebello... i am NOT a volume dealer... what I do best is get great weed and package it for resell in small amounts and get it out same day with great customer service... in the grand scheme of things this is where I excel.
Maybe someday I will be able to get better pricing and be able to provide ounces for the kind of prices some of the other vendors charge.
But for now I am happy with my little place in the SR Universe.
Thanks for allowing me to serve you fine folks!!

I've bought 3 times from Mr. Jones and I cannot say enough about the quality of his product and his quick shipping and packing. the man truly lives up to his name. As far as his prices go, I was paying about the same for good stuff, but not the knockout dank Trustus sells. I made the serious mistake of smoking some of his Cranberry Kush when it arrived today and I had to take a nap about 20 minutes after. Not a daytime weed.....
-
The Cranberry is a lovely smoke for sure...
as for the Deathstar!! that stuff is the strongest, full on couch lock, droolin on yourself bud...
I took two hits off my work pipe and had to go lay down 10 minutes later... I have smoked A LOT of weed and that is probably close to the strongest I have ever had.
I am hoping I can keep getting it!!
Thanks,
TJ
-
Cranberry kush came in the mail today. Yay! As soon as I opened the vacuum seal, the smell overtook the WHOLE room. ;D TrustusJones supplied my first purchase here on SR and I plan on getting more if I ever have the need for weed.
Props

Hey TJ, need to update your vendor link in your signature bud. How long has it been since the links changed? :P
To stay on topic, Jones may be a bit expensive, but Sour Jack was up there with some of the best buds I've tried. Definitely quality, and if you are looking for small amounts I don't think there is any other vendor to turn to.
-
Done! thanks for letting me know, I wasn't aware the link changed.
