If you’re in Europe yes you will most likely get quality psychedelics. If you are a customer in USA and not getting international shipments (which is risky) you aren’t going to get the best quality available. I’d say that’s most likely true for cocaine too.

But you can get international shipping from anywhere, because the sellers don't care as much. They just have personal preferences pretty much. Some have packaging methods which get through certain customs reliably, others don't. The only thing that can happen for them really is that the customer says that they didn't receive the package and contests the escrow. Depending on the store, they'll solve it some way. For instance if you have a customer account with a lot of actions and one you contest, they're more likely to believe it. And some shopkeepers just send as long as you resolve escrow as soon as it is sent, so "with your own risk", basically.

So yeah, you can get quality drugs literally anywhere in the world. Honestly, customs catch a tiny amount of all the shipments made.

Its very easy to make tons of accounts and give yourself good ratings.

These online stores work quite differently. The trades you can see, the purchases, are actual purchases. Unlike in the real world, the cut for the marketplace is not in-significant, because they're the one taking the largest risk (since they're the ones who will get raided if law enforcement manages to crack the marketplace), so the trader creating fake reviews for himself would actually have to pay quite a lot, seeing as drug orders are usually quite a lot more valuable than, idk, clothing/trinkets from Asia.

Also, have you ever ordered something from a vendor and it was absolutely shit but yet had glowing reviews?

In regular online stores, yeah. On drug markets? Never. Because I filtered my traders so that they had hundreds and hundreds of reviews. Because the trade is massive. Could they fake that? Sure? Do they need to? No. Would they, seeing how little it would profit since it would be caught pretty fast, as unlike with some Temu shopkeepers who send some garbage, the customers actually put in detailed reviews of the shit they received. And if there was like a dozen reviews and even two said shit, I would never trust a trader like that.

Traders create sales by... having sales. Introductory offers. It's always a bit of a gamble, especially in the dark web, but there are people willing to do that gamble, because again, the trade is massive and people can send packages all around the world, so some people will look at some dirt cheap coke that's an introductory offer and actually receive prime quality blow. Ofc he will then put a good review. Someone else will be even more likely to gamble the same thing. Once he has a few reviews, he reigns in the offers, and is somewhat reliable, and once you've hundred(s) of reviews, you can have "regular" prices. Which still often were quite a bit lower than street prices. But that's because drugs in Finland are somewhat expensive.

As I say, people really underestimate the drug trade. It's well established and there's no putting the technology back in the box. Drug trade used to be facilitated almost purely through cartels, but now the lower level people don't have to be connected to those people at all, since online distributors are anonymous, you never meet them, and they're the ones getting bricks from importers (or importing it themselves.)

The very nature of the sites make them anonymous. People do it to amazon reviews all the time and those can actually be traced back to a person but the market ones allegedly can not.

Yeah. Isn't it ironic, then, that most of the time (aside from the shops closing/getting raided, which is a minority, but still a part of it), they're the more reliable ones? People know that anyone could be anyone, so the reviews are more significant. Which is why all those paragraphs earlier sort of explain that.
