What do you guys think of the Silk Road card? Is it efficient? And if so,when should it be sent?

It's not efficient, and the only time I would ever even consider sending it was if I picked up a 320 or so XP treasure in the first age. Even then, I still probably wouldn't send it. It just isn't worth it when you have cards that have much higher priority. By the time you get to the point where you might have an extra shipment its not worth it and you suck because you should have won the game by then.

This is a good team card and also buffs the trading posts I think.

15% vs 30%, it's a huge difference. They nerfed this card in TAD because trade posts are cheaper. I only see this reason.

They nerfed it because it was too good. Now is pretty much useless as just sending crates without it is better. In team games might still be quite good as pointed out, because it affects team mates too.

I think it's not so important. Because of this I just prefer to send it like last card of age2.
