I've been playing this game for quite sometime now but now it has entered uncharted waters. Before the road, the longest I would wait was maybe a day or two to receive the goods but now it's several days to a week at a time. I find myself getting very anxious and impatient. I am mostly purchasing weed and bide my time by staying busy but some times i wonder what it is like for those SR members with a stronger DOC and how they cope with their own waiting game.

i always think of that tom petty song "the waiting is the hardest part"
once i became familiar with shipping times i've set up a cycle so when i have about 2-3 days left of product i get a package in the mail.
like clockwork! ha 8)

I agree the waiting is tough, you could try to order smaller
orders several times a month or just order more in
general! Could get expensive tho!
Luck to you!
-
Like Bobloblawslawblog said, just get yourself a reputable vendor, know your delivery times and order in advance. Simple as.
-
You have no idea! I posted my first order (try waiting on smack!) four days ago... two days in I wasn't sure that I did everything right so I sent the vendor a message (encrypted) just letting him know I was new and if I did anything wrong to let me know, otherwise ignore the message. The guy got so pissed that he sent a diatribe about not having time for messages and cancelled my order (this was a VERY reputable vendor)... I was SO pissed... not only had he taken four days to mark the package in transit... he just cancelled the damn thing after waiting more than half a week. Just today I changed my order to a new vendor and I'm STILL staring at that 'in processing' crap. Can't wait to just get some freaking product! I'm trying to be as good a customer as I can and this crap is driving me nuts! I remember the anxiety waiting for pot... but smack is just TERRIBLE. I can't stop refreshing!
-
That shit will make you feel that way, I guess. Maybe look at ways that you can wean yourself off it.
-
I ran out of weed yesterday and finally stuck an order in this morning. However I was on the verges of ordering earlier in the week on Tuesday, and gutted I didn't, but I had terrible toothache and abscesses that I couldn't even bring myself to look at the computer screen I was in that much pain! Now I'm also going to have to wait a few days sober instead of having some there for when I run out.
-
I sympathize, I fucking HATE waiting too.
-
I spent some time buying from different vendors and made a mistake. I had several incoming orders for the same thing from different vendors. One didn't show. I didn't know who it was to contact.
May want to keep that in mind for regular buyers .

thats the hardest part to SR best bet is to stay one step ahead and keep some order rolling in on a consistent basis
-
I have had orders take almost 2 weeks to arrive, but they always come as listed.

that's what i wanted to hear.
also, i know that pot is no where near as addictive as smack, and yet i totally feel for ya. keeping consistent incoming orders is most likely what i will do.
thanks e'ry body ;D

Before you buy from a vender always check the forms just to see what other people have said about them, it never hurts to be safe. With some venders it might take more time to get the goods than with others. If your order does not come in a month that's when you need to start worrying.

I'm taking notes that some vendors are ....., I let you guys fill the gap :)

If your able, try and figure out how much you smoke and get ahead of yourself. I smoke about a gram a day of weed or a .25g of oil a day.
If your a daily smoker, smoking weed will only do you for so long, eventually you will need to go concentrates.
1g of oil lasts me longer than an 8th and gets me higher too, both average about $60
I've been smoking since I was a teenager, when I got older learned that the plant part of pot was useless and all the active ingredients are in trichome heads protruding from the leaves so I began to only smoke hash or oil.
Concentrates are much more efficient and easier to transport. I just have to put like .2g of oil in my vape and after 1 relatively smokeless hit I am so high I feel like a teenager again. Vapes have a bit of a learning curve if you've never used one but they are the best way.

Im currently playing the waiting game for my 100 tabs of lsd :)
it however has been 10 days and all this waiting is giving me anxiety. So now i have to order some benzo's to help me relax.
-
Also waiting for my product when it finally gets here the wait will hopefully be worth it.
-
sucks to use SR for a addiction like h or stimulants. good luck to all yee

actually I have heard of some heroin vendors that offer express overnight shipping. Allowing the buyer to get his product within 1-3 days. I do fear for anyone with an addiction that only has connections to get their drug of choice through silkroad. If SR ever gets shutdown some people might have some pretty bad Withdrawals.
-
Half arrived so far, tomorrow the other. So hash oil worx in the blu electronic ciggarette thingys?
I like effecience.

this happened to me. became so comfortable and lazy using SR i completely lost touch with all real world contacts. tho once you develop a relationship with a vendor, assuming you get there emergency tormail addy, they have been nice enough to help some people out when things went down.

I'm playing the waiting game on a small amount of weed and it's killing me. can't imagine waiting on anything addictive. :-\

Ahhh, i see. I'm actually going to go find all my vendor's tormail addresses right now just in case the inevitable happens. Good tip, thanks!
I would assume that if SR goes down vendors will be sitting on a lot of product that they can no longer move as quickly. So they would probably still operate under tormail. Ohwell, i dont like talking about doomsday situations. Makes me panic and want to stock up on sweet, sweet drugs.

What do you guys think about the going concern of Silk Road? The site has gained massive profile lately. A few of my friends were hanging around and talking about drugs they couldn't get. All I said was sure, I can get it for you. They were both like Oh, so you're on Silk Road. Like separately three people in the room new all about it, one using it. Is it's growing fame a concern to it's existence? I don't know how the regulation of the deep web goes on.
-
The more the merrier.
-
That is why I like to order in quantity and make sure that I order early enough so I never run out. Ive learned this very quickly that its best to always keep some on hand because IT IS NOT PLEASANT TO RUN OUT!

I agree with Hatchetman. The more people who know, the more people who will be using TOR. Right now one of the biggest flaws in some areas of the world is that only people using SR for illegal purposes are using TOR. If more people hear about SR, and the "deepweb" (I hate that term) as a whole, then it will better anonymize the rest of us. One negative, however, is that it may lead to laws being drafted making the use of TOR illegal, but I do not see that happening anytime soon. As someone in another thread (I can't remember where I read it! If anyone know who to cite, feel free!) stated TOR is of more benefit than hindrance to the powers that be (due to global political instability in the mideast/Africa and censorship in nations such as North Korea and China). A more realistic and probable negative outcome of increased attention is that there may be an influx of new vendors and buyers who are not as legitimate as the current and older group. If all of us users make it our duty to inform the new and ignorant of any errors in their processes and actively promote safer, more anonymous internet use then there is room for all of us to flourish along the Silk Road.

Oh man, a friend of mine has a vape and every time we use it, we don't realise how high we've gotten until we've all been on it for an hour or so. Unfortunately he's moved away, but I'm so tempted to buy some. It's just cleaner, sneakier, and more effective than a bong.
Plus the inevitable butane shenanigans that you get to have are pretty fun.
-

i would save them on a usb stick and encrypt the file. your gpg software will do this easy.
or write them down and hide them well. all my serious passwords and pins are never stored on my pc.
make sure you have a long positive relationship with a vendor because you will probably have to pay with western union and you will have no help from SR in the case of w dispute.

yah i think its great. its becoming more and more mainstream.
for all the people joining for SR hopefully they learn about tor and become relay nodes and exit nodes expanding the network and making it stronger and more secure. the more vendors creates competition, better quality products, lower prices. i dont see any harm in new users. the popo have known about SR for years, if they havent been able to shut it down yet i dont think they will.
-
I hate the waiting game :(
I need to start buying my weed in advance
-
Yeah, I guess you would just have to adapt. Buying in advance, etc.
-
Now i'm waiting on my first purchase of btc via coinbase. supposed to clear today. is there a 30 waiting period like dwolla?
-
Yep waiting is Pain, the thoughts behind asking will the Letter arrive?
Waiting to get Bitcoin's is pain too, than you buy form localbitcoins approx 1 Day delivery time, then you order on Thursday's it takes 4 Day's D:
The First buy's are the worst as a newbie, will you scammed, did you all steps right, is the address right etc.
-
Anyone ever been waiting for it and it was actually in your mailbox waiting on you?
-
because its happened to me
-
twice actually
-
put your red flag up so you know when the mailman has come.
-
These holiday weekends get me every time. Rattled all weekend too. I just shut the SR tab until bed time, then check it once... ok, twice.

Oh my god dude you just took a huge load off my mind. I was sitting here wondering about a package that hadn't arrived yet... BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY. Makes sense now.

i always think of that tom petty song "the waiting is the hardest part"
Ha, I just placed my first order a few days ago and now every time I check the mail, the Marvelettes song "Please Mr. Postman" pops into my head.
-
I think the waiting game is what we are all in it for. I have waited for almost every kind of drug there is (excluding speed. I am not a stimulants guy, I am a downers guy.) And I think the wait is the game. Every time, the thought of how great its going to be when I finally get what I have been waiting so diligently for, is what makes it.
The drug is never as good as the wait, or as good as finally getting it. Some of you will understand, but some won't. Embrace the game, its all about the wait.
-
I concur, it's like a treat and it is much better than it actually is when it finally arrives. Plus i think it helps you keep your sanity.

I do feel a little awkward writing this with a "Newbie" stamped under my name, but I wouldn't worry too much about this part. Any flood of new vendors or buyers could be easily handled by SR raising the price on a vendor account (charging would-be vendors $2k just for the honor of a booth would help weed out any non-professionals) or raising the bar for membership (no joining without an SR password, which could be PGP encrypted and regularly changed, say, or no joining without first paying the site one Bitcoin - refundable after your first order - or making a smaller, nonrefundable SR donation). Personally, I do wish the bar to entry were a little higher. If you couldn't join the site and forums without first demonstrating that you knew how to use PGP and that you'd already set up a BTC wallet and were comfortable making purchases with it, it would enhance security and save the vendors time.
On the other hand, everyone starts somewhere, and as you wrote, there's room enough for all.
-
yes waiting is the hardest part. at least your not in a country with hard customs!
-
The game is mental.
-
How long do you guys usually wait for domestic? Been waiting for a letter sized order for a week now, seems long for domestic, especially if he shipped first class(dunno if that's the case.)
-
when an order is in the "processing" stage and the wait for it to change to " in transit".
its a good thing that i am in an ok headspace atm.
The game is mental.

churchwarden, for myself, it's been an average of a week and a half.

Ah, good. I'll just hang on a little longer and hopefully it'll turn up.

what i love is when i'm well-prepared to wait 4 or 5 days for an order, and 6-7 for another, and then two days later both show up at the same time.. this happens to me a lot actually, it's like christmas without all the drunk family drama
for me using SR is like a ritual almost though, and every step, from acquiring the BTC to selecting my order to receiving it, feels good. i actually time my ordering so that i'm forced to take a 4-5 day t-break every month. it helps a lot, and when i finally lay down that sweet sweet dab or unwrap that pungent pure dope, i feel success, on many different levels.
i think ordering for the first time is a very surreal experience for most newbies.. it was for me. one day you're browsing a worldwide selection of just about every substance imaginable, and the next it's right at your doorstep. i remember my exact thoughts were, "thank god for the future". because this is the future, right here, happening right now, shit is trippy
-
After waiting two+ weeks for orders I have learned patience. And to order in advance if you need something for an event
-
If your a daily smoker, smoking weed will only do you for so long, eventually you will need to go concentrates.
I disagree. Once I have new strain every so often - or three or more at the same time - mixing it every few days reduces my tolerance again. I have been smoking just weed for years, with the occasional bit of oil from cleaning my volcano - and 'cano oil is damn good. This all said, I do have access to GREAT weed with a steady, regular supply. I am constantly awash in cannabis that blows me away.
-
Sadly you guys dont have the wonderful grace of having a dealer who will bring *Almost* High Grade Cali weed to your front door day or night, but when it comes to my blotters im probably the most impatient guy on earth. Couldn't imagine waiting a whole 3-5 days for H or CC when your fiending, Of course staying off those is my personal recommendation. I catch myself checking the mail in the morning when i know the mailman has only delivered at 9am once or twice in his career. But hey express exists for a reason, get a job and get that fix 8)
-
I just constantly tell myself that the package isn't arriving today. This gets rid of a lot of the anticipation. When the damn thing doesn't ever arrive, then I just get furious.

try to reach that 50 mark...

my advice is dont watch the clock and try and do something else to distract you i find sex really works.

??? Sex for Three to Five days seems to be a bad distraction and totally unreasonable. How about a job or hobby, the first of the two being great to support the habit, plus once you really get into that daily routine the next thing you know you have a wonderful little package awaiting you with some money in the bank to order the next round of explorations. Cant explain the wonderful feeling of having a bad/mediocre day to pull some fresh NBOMe out of the box. Shit i dont even wait to get home if it was a real bad day, let those blotters start their magic for the 10 mins it takes to get from my mailbox to my house. PS. Dont actually drive/ride while under the influence. Not Chill unless your just smoking a bowl, but ill call that opinion.

i dunno, i think sex is a descent distraction. on the day we know the letter is going to come, it can feel like forever waiting for the mail man to deliver. a good shag can make the time more enjoyable and its a great way to get a bender started

I sleep a lot when I'm waiting on SR packages.

Would your definition of a good shag relate to the sig ;)? lol good point, i was thinking sex for the whole wait. I come home from work 4 days a week about an hour after he delivers, so i dont have to stress too much.
