Stamps and priority envelopes

Probabky a stupid question, but why are using stamps and priority envelopes that bad? I'd think with the millions of priority envelopes sent with stamps, 99% are legit stuff - eBay, hobbyist sites, etc. When I've bought a shitload of stuff off eBay they usually come in priority, often handwritten labels, and stamps.

Are use of stamps thay dead of a giveaway? If so bad why not use prepaid postage? Is it that hard to anonymously use prepaid postage? I have no clue as I don't send a lot of shit. Just curious on why it's bad.

? What's wrong with stamps? Why would stamps ever be a red flag? That's literally the only purpose of a stamp - to send mail. I don't get how that could possibly be suspicious.

Every order I've ever made has used stamps, both domestic and international.

Because most of the people here are entirely full of shit. Priority envelopes are fine, as are stamps, and hand written labels. Using tor to track packages is also fine, it doesn't flag your package. Its better to use more caution than not, but certain shit people say is BS.

There's nothing wrong with priority envelopes and boxes and in fact, that's the preferred method. Stamps on the other hand, is a debatable issue. For me, one stamp is absolutely fine. More than that, something just doesn't seem right. When's the last time you got a package not from dnm with 6 different stamps? It's even worse when the "from" address has a company name on it: When's the last time you got a package from a company that didn't have postage pre-printed on the label and had a bunch of stamps on it instead?

I know there are many legit packages out there with multiple stamps and these packages blend in with them. But they're not common and stand out, legit or not. The number of "average" packages with one stamp or printed postage outnumber ones with multiple stamps in orders of magnitude, and I'm more comfortable with my delivery blending in with the "average" packages.

What do you guys think about PREPAID Priority packages? The all you would need to do is get some label 400s for tracking and you're good to go, right? Why wouldn't more DNM vendors choose this method?

In my opinion, stamps are VERY rare...they stick out like a sore thumb. I don't want my package containing illegal drugs sticking out like a sore thumb. I have bought some 3,000+ items from hundreds of eBay sellers...less than 1% were sent with stamps.

When your package from California arrives with a priority stamp in the right hand corner and a tracking slipper slapped on it and it weighs as light as a feather as if it's almost empty WTF else do you think would be in the box other than a half zip or zip of weed?

Realize that the priority stamp and pre-printed tracking label signal that it was dropped off in a random box so that's another red flag.

The vendors who have the best stealth find a way to print their postage / tracking labels. Some print their postage but still use the pre printed tracking labels and that IMO is BETTER than a priority mail stamp and pre printed tracking label. The BEST is a printed postage and printed custom tracking. Because this is how most people today send their mail. If you think there are people in California sending out priority boxes that weigh 1 ounce and using priority stamps and pre printed tracking to send legit. legal items you're out of your fucking mind. Sorry.
