[Uncategorized] Got lazy with OPSEC, might be fucked, might be paranoid. Advice?

I'll try to make this short. Recently, I did something dumb. I used iGolder to encrypt to place a few orders out of laziness and stupidity. Don't waste your energy telling I'm dumb, I know. I've been getting high too much lately due to personal problems. Anyhow, I did this for three orders. The first came on time as expected, but one corner of the box was crushed (although it looked like a typical sorting machine jam issue) and any curious beholder could've seen what was obviously marijuana. The second package was ordered nearly a month ago from a reliable vendor, and it still isn't here despite normally taking two weeks. The third was a very small order from a prominent and well-respected vendor I haven't used before. It was ordered nearly a week ago on priority and still isn't here. I've been stressed out of my mind thanks to work, and I haven't thought much of it, but I just realized I might be absolutely fucked. I'm relatively new to DNMs (8 mo's or so) and I don't know more than an average amount about these types of situations. What is likely the cause of all this? Is the FBI keeping their eye on me? Is someone at the post office getting wise? Is it just the weather? And how can I help myself? Should I just forget ordering anything for a while, or should I find another place to get stuff shipped? Any guidance and advice is appreciated :)

EDIT: Figured I should add this. I've kept really tight OPSEC up until the past few weeks, and unless my roommate is an FBI agent, there's no reason LE should have anything other than the situation at hand.

EDIT v2: Thanks to all you guys for taking my tin foil hat off for me. I've spoken to the int'l vendor and he's going to compensate me and then give extra if it isn't here after 30 days from the shipping date. The other order, I'm still going to wait to do anything about. But the peace of mind that most likely I'm not on anyone's list will definitely help me out. Let this be a lesson to everyone; don't get paranoid over small things and always use good OPSEC, no matter how much of a depression case you are.

What's the best alternative to igolder? I've always used it

How would they catch you from using iGolder? It uses HTTPS. Then you submit the PGP message on Tor. They would have to have access to iGolder's server and steal your PGP message. Then they would have to have access to whatever market you used, and search for your PGP message, and somehow link it back to you using your IP address on iGolder, or seeing your address if they had total access to iGolder's server. Of course that is a general summary but it doesn't seem likely

Likely nothing bad will happen.

There is no way that LE knows it was you unless the market get seized which probably won't happen in the next year or so.

You're safe, but clean house when expecting orders as always.

My question is, why is iGolder sketchy? if you're just encrypting your name and address, you could be doing a multitude of things with that. why does it automatically assume something illegal?
