Big vendors have a dangerously high chance of getting caught + flipped - some inside info as a vendor

People have been asking alot how to stay safe as a buyer, just thinking that the biggest risk besides vendors with shitty stealth are ones that are big (like huge product lines, lots of stock, ships bulk), look at what i have to do as a vendor to ship shit:

  1. Get return address and put fake name, reused return addresses are linked together in USPS mailcover database.

  2. Get different labels and set different fonts often.

  3. Buy shitton of priority stamps directly from PO, 1st class stamps while everywhere can only be uses on 1st class mail cause priority would require like a dozen stamps and look sketchy.

  4. Grab a bunch of priority flat rate boxes on a regular basis from the PO, they only have so many so i have to run to different POs on a regular basis and take them all.

Im not a big vendor, im not even really a medium one, i get about 1-10 orders a day on average, how often do you think i go through the work of changing return addys and reprinting them to unlink buyers? I cant imagine a big vendor who gets 10-100 orders a day, there must be 100s of buyers linked to any particular return address, i mean how do you even ship that many packages from a certain geographical area without being your stuff being profiled? Simple answer, you dont.

And think of what big vendors are doing to get that stock....yeah your guessed it, buying it from others who themselves are big enough to be noticed. Or ordering it through the mail lol.

Darkmarkets are an awesome concept but the whole model is limited, once you get big enough its impossible to ship more than a few dozen packages a day without being noticed, then all it takes is a hidden camera setup on a few blueboxes in the area and roll back the footage after scanning the boxes at the end of the day to find your profiled boxes and see your car/plate/face.

Anyways buyers are sheep obviously so $10 cheaper than the next guy then who the fuck cares about security but for the minority here who gives a fuck about not being imprisoned avoid the big guys it aint worth it.

MDpro was just stupid using personal credit cards & postage from camera equipped APC's Can't stress the importance of heavy duty barrier bags. I will only patronize vendors who are smart and safe. Theres at least one k9 on duty full time at the local usps mail facility here and the cops regularly request warrant-less "mail-tapping" with help of your mail carrier everythings documented and now any addresses related are red flagged recorded in the computers

Some vendors have different shipping facilities/zones. I have an understanding that , for example , The Scurvy Crew ship from spin/portugal AND France.

I guess once a vendor gets big enough , they are not alone , they have a crew or are an organisation. More people can cover a gretaer area. So they can use different PO on different towns. I dont knwo about retunr addys or prepaid stamps/boxes.

Just go to usps online & they'll send u all the boxes u would ever need for free then ship them to a good friend's house

Thanks for taking the time to share this. And thanks to all of you for sharing. We're all taking a bit of an extra risk in communicating about all of this and it really is appreciated by a very largely silent majority.
