We're celebrating our grand opening right now, with some nice tight deals posted when we're online and can instantly deliver bitcoins. We consider getbitcoin and bitinstant to offer a service similar to what we're doing, and we think we're faster and more economical.

sounds pretty good so far. What are your fees? Can you post the link to your sellers account with the offer

Fees are lighter than light right now--aiming for traction with this grand opening thing. On average, the listed price is running 2-3% above the Mt. Gox spot amount. We really think we have the most bang for the buck when it comes to cash deposits for BTC. And we post exchange items only when we're online and available for instant delivery.
When we first came to the Road as a buyer, we thought that services like bitinstant and GetBitcoin were a good idea, and we just wanted to do it a little quicker, and with less of a commission load. So here we are, ready to help. And we think that we're the fastest and most economical way to go from cash in the pocket to BTC in your SR account.
And, as we note in the listings, early adopters will be offered premium rates and service long-term. Just like IRL.
***side note to anyone reading:
How does one go about discovering the source of negative karma cast upon your account? We haven't made our first sale yet, and already someone's hating on us. I know that BTC exchangers range just above LE when it comes to respect and all here on the Road, but wow.

How are you faster than bitinstant?

7% sounds very reasonable to me, considering bank deposit --> bitinstant --> mtgox --> instwallet/bitcoinfog --> sr is about 5-8% anyway and is a bit of hassle.
But I'm based in the UK :(.

How are you faster than bitinstant?
We have used bitinstant--chose to have the coins delivered via email--Coinapult. Looked like the quickest first leg on the route to SR. Then we could send them to our SR account, or route to a wallet, whatever. All of this happens after we actually made the cash deposit. A direct deposit of BTC into a user's account will be quicker in most situations. We really like bitinstant above all the rest. We think we're just a little more economical, and a little faster.
It really comes down to risk assessment. Other mainstream services cost more in time and money, but the client usually has a greater sense of confidence the transaction will be without incident. We are new and untested here. All we can do is conduct ourselves professionally and let the rep build. And that is why early adopters will automatically receive preferential service.

We're looking at a UKash solution for this--we just don't like the added fees and loads that are put on before we even talk with the client. Moneypaks are a similar thing--many, many times that 4.95 fee turns out being an 8-10% drain already, and your money still isn't on the Road. Anonymous bank deposits to bitcoin injection strips away the other layers and fees, and should grant the client a certain sense of confidence in that you DO know exactly where your money's going. Can't do that with stamps, certs, Moneypaks, Ukash...you folks know the score.

Not to worry, I can handle UK, the USA is all yours! :-D
Seriously, best of luck with your venture and if I get any Americans e-mailing me I'll be sure to give them your name.
All the best,
V.

Thanks V!

The commission load at the moment is close to zero, or maybe underwater. BTC market fluctuations are strong right now. When we first listed this AM, it was about 2%.
The link is in our signature. Drop by and see us!

10% IIRC is quite expensive
