paranoia or just slow mail?

I've been on the DNMs for quite sometime and had my healthy share of paranoia. i've been stupid though. probably my biggest no no is the fact that ive continually had deal conversations with customers via text on my personal phone. never mentioned dnm though. yes i know, fucking stupid but nothing that can be done about it now.

what i'm worried about is this last order that i placed. its a us domestic order of mdma. it's over an 8th and its from one of the most reputable dealers on nucleus. it shipped out late last week with 2-3 day priority and i have yet to receive it.

heres where anxiety starts to really hit. when questioning the vendor he sends me the tracking in clear text. That really sucks and is a huge opsec flaw. however this alone isnt contributing immediately to the paranoia. it doesn't necessarily mean im instantly on someones radar.

the issue is that the only single thing the tracking list is that it was received at what appears to be a major hub the same day the vendor dropped it off. That's it, no initial drop off listed or anything. nothing added since then either. holiday season or not, isn't this pretty odd? It's close to a week at this point with zero update on tracking...

I'm cleaning hose but will it really make any difference with blatant drug deals sent through text on my phone?

It's the holidays, shipping will be delayed.

The texts are only evidence of past dealing. Honestly if you play your cards right and lawyer up immediately if they come to talk to you they'll never get around to subpeonaing your phone records.

Same issue here - no update after initial drop off at PO. Been 48 hours. I think USPS has so much mail right now that scanning is so far behind and I think sometimes they flat out don't even bother scanning. If it is still sitting there a After like 5 days, no package, no update, I would contact vendor.

But I bet you get like 4 tracks all at once updated soon and you'll get your pack. Remember even normal times USPS tracking blows donkey balls. Don't put faith in it .

Don't forget: cyber Monday! So much mail floating around!!!

It does sound like a confluence of errors, but really the only immediate concern is the mail and even then, I think its prob too early to be concerned. We just came off a holiday, influx of mail, etc. Scanning is inconsistent even during normal times, I suspect that tracking will get worse. It prob hopped a plane and is making its way to you. I know I've had packages (clearnet) drop off radar for a couple of days before getting scanned again. Not a whole lot of time has elapsed, but yeah, I get its nerve wracking. Just be prepared but honestly I think its a little early to be terribly concerned. Expect weird shit with USPS (bad tracking, late packs, the whole 9) for the next month.

For the future, shore up your opsec. What's done is done for now BUT nothing is stopping you from making changes that will reduce your attack surface. Use this as a "wake up call" to do just that.

Slow mail? Maybe. Paranoia? Almost certainly. One you have no control over. The other is a choice you make.

+1 also similar situation. Since Thanksgiving everything related to USPS has been off.. the more of these I read the more I think it's just the holiday volume. Even little things like the mail being delivered later than it usually does every day, some days by a few hours.

2-3 day is more like 4-5+++ days. Plan accordingly its the holiday season no panic required. Do not procrastinate order early.
