BTC transfer opsec question

This might sound like a noob question but I've been able to circumnavigate in the past via an anonymous BTC source and I've seen conflicting opinions on this.

If one were in preparation for a small personal use purchase, to purchase BTC via cash in mail on an exchange where you don't have to provide ID, but where that correspondance will presumably be linked to your IP address, is it fine to send BTC from clearnet wallet > Tails wallet > market wallet? I've seen some suggest it's especially advisable to tumble from a first Tails wallet to another, but that seems like overkill - but am I wrong?

Thanks!

If the account cannot be linked to your identity in any way, including by fingerprints on the letters, then I guess you should be safe. This is assuming said exchange does not require Js, phone verification, or anything of the sort.

You might get locked out of your account if they trace the transactions, but this is not a security concern and more of an annoyance.

After TR I learned better than to use market wallets. I'd rather pay the fees to sleep at night. I uually rock tails > VPN > TOR > markets and keep my coin on a hardware wallet.

Edit: VPN was purchased clearnet under an alias at public wifi and paid for with prepaid visa just to be as paranoid as possible

You'll be fine with exchange -> private wallet -> market. No one will be coming after you like that. Your time and effort will be better spent learning how to pick a vendor with good shipping and stealth practices, as this represents your greatest risk.
