what are peoples' thought on tracking your packages from tor browser or over clearnet using your real ip? does anybody have knowledge of a package being confiscated and computer forensics being used to link a person to the package? if i log onto tracking using tor and it thinks im on the other side of the world, could that potentially raise a red flag?
as i type this my answer in already somewhat clear to me. i am just wondering what is normal practice for the majority of the community. perhaps its best i only do tracking through clearnet on a public ip

Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?

Bring your TOR laptop (never been used for any activities except for SR stuff) to a cafe without any camera when it's crowded with people and their laptops. Connect to their WIFI, connect toTOR, track your package. Don't browse for anything else. Don't login into any accounts.

There is also a possibility for the website you're visiting to know you're using TOR. It depends on your country, but I don't think the post office filters their website visitors this way and hold a package just because it was tracked online using a TOR connection. But you can never be too careful. Personally I'll track a package only when it is late.

Use a third-party package tracking site, like http://www.packagetrackr.com/ through Tor. That way, the USPS or whomever doesn't see that you're coming through Tor, because packagetrackr hits their API separately. Make sense?
