International order question

I've made a few domestic orders in the past year. I'm thinking of placing an international order soon. I just want a couple of confirmations of my OPSEC from you guys. Burner computer (never checked anything involved with my real ID), coinbase (on my other comp.) right to market wallet (BBM) (tumbling seemed pointless), PGP for personal info. Just a personal use order. Sound legit?

Tumbling is pointless. It's not like there's a permanent record anywhere.

International orders are really not a big deal, unless you're getting bulk. Small-time quantities are small-time quantities, they're not going to CD you just because it came from another country...

The primary concern as a buyer is customs, so the two things you should scrutinize is your a) your drop, b) what happens if you get CD'd (ie house raided and c) that the vendor is legit and reliable

a) Make sure you don't use you're real name, you have a plausible reason to be picking up the mail there, you dont open the package right away, etc

b) Make sure your machines are totally clean. Have zero forensic evidence you ever used a DNM or Bitcoin. It sounds like you have this figured out. Agreed that tumbling is pointless. Make sure your burner computer is using TAILS. If it is encrypted make sure it is always powered off when at home, or when you hear a knock on the door.

Also make sure in scenario b) that you don't have other incriminating stuff in your house. A few grams of whatever is fine. But never get caught with anything that would make you seem like a dealer or a very low-level drug user.

c) Search their name on subreddits and the forums. Scrutinize them throughly. Check their OPSEC... do they use PGP always? with strong keys? etc.
