Let's get real with shipnik

Everyone seems to say it's a honey pot for LE and the other alphabet gangs, but I am really into bitcoin and love the idea that more and more things are becoming available for purchase with bitcoin. I am not a vendor at all but have used shipnik around Christmas time was awesome no lines, and no account and it was simple, I still used it from time to time for mailing gifts, it's easy. I know I can't be the only one using it for legit purposes, so if it is a LE honeypot how are they going to be able to tell me the legit shipper from a vendor shipper? Also like I said I am sure others are using it for legit purpose also. Anyways now I have been reading that everything is logged and so on, which I am not going to doubt. But think of how many vendor use it I'm sure, and I am sure that a pack that was created using shipnik has been seized, returned, wrong address and so on that was opened by the police, yet we have heard nothing of those vendors saying shipnik sold them out or anything. I'm not saying shipnik wouldn't comply they will I am sure, but why hasn't packs that were seized or something been backtracked where shipnik was coughing up the logs? Also if it was a honeypot why aren't packs being ship with it delayed and being searched. They have the tracking number to flag it. That QR code every ship label has it, it's to mark the postage amount. Our stamps now will have it too, also it could be used as a tracking thing also. I am not sure on that didn't research it enough to come out with certain idea on it, if you block it out your pack gets returned for no postage payment.

Anyone else think the same?

I believe even If ShipNik was a honeypot that they would be able to tell legitimate use apart from criminal use. Such as the dumbass (probably vendor) who purchased multiple labels using stolen CC information, a vendor purchasing a cart that has labels with different return addresses, a vendor using an annonymous email service (sigaint, lelantos, ect..) or those accessing the site through tor or vpn.

IMO a vendor who practices proper opsec and uses shipnik blends in with the legitimate users just fine.
