Dark Purchasing on Clearnet?

There are some very legal items I would like to buy from Amazon and bundle together for the free shipping but I don't want to have my identity associated with. Is there a way to buy from the clearnet privately?

Customers Who Bought: 500 Mini Baggies, 100 gram Digital Pocket Scale, 120 capsules 100mg 5-HTP, and Chromium Herb Grinder Also Bought: Jailtime

Google, Amazon, and credit card companies know way too much about us and I'm scared that they could give away our purchase history in whole or in aggregate to LE. It's circumstantial at best, but if you wanted a list of potential dealers and users, where would you start?

The best idea I have is to buy a prepaid Visa giftcard in cash and ship to an alternative address that doesn't need my real name. Got any better ideas?

You're being a little over-paranoid but in a good and beneficial way.

Buying all that stuff is not going to get you investigated. For LE agencies to have an MO like that would be a wasteful and serious drain on resources with too little to show for their efforts.

If you ever got pinched, though, any records of you buying that stuff CAN SERIOUSLY FUCK YOU OVER. If you had any hope for denying involvement with selling drugs this would be the type of thing that would kill that hope with a quickness. Check out the excerpts from gwern's post regarding the criminal complaint brought against Caligirl:

"...During the course of this investigation, I reviewed records obtained from Amazon.com ('Amazon') relating to Jones' purchases from its website. The records reviewed included purchase, shipping, billing, and IP address information. The records showed that, on July 2, Jones utilized his Amazon account to purchase 1000 3"x5" clear plastic zip lock baggies and 500 4" x 8" bubble mailer manila envelopes...Jones completed the Amazon transaction from IP address 184.146.37.164..."

You might want to look into gyft cards that you can purchase with bitcoin if the Visa cards don't work out. If you have a wife or a girlfriend that lives with you, maybe you can tell one of your buddies that you want to buy her a gift on Amazon but don't want her getting the package in the mail and potentially ruining the surprise?

Get an Amazon gift card instead of a prepaid Visa, make a new account, ship to your real address. I think that should suffice.

You can get a lot of that stuff at a healthfood store. Just pay cash. It's more expensive but it's worth the security IMO.

While amazon/fb/google/etc does collect and archive a scary amount of stuff, unless you're already under suspicion for something, there's really nothing to worry about.

Yes, it's in the system, and probably accessible by LE if they really wanted, but something like that isn't going to set off any flags. Amazon is a seller, and they're not going to proactively lose business by tipping off LE of every potential small-time peddler. Sure, they'll probably cough up any and everything they have on you when asked, but unless you are already under scrutiny for something else, I wouldn't worry about anything coming of ordering a scale and baggies from Amazon.
