What's stopping feds from tracking vendors?

I must be missing something basic that all vendors must do. Wouldn't it be simple for the fbi/postmaster to order some drugs themselves and flag the return address? Even if the vendor used a fake address, they could mark where all the packages using the fake address were shipped from and set up a sting.

I just got a package today with the best stealth/decoy I've ever seen. However, it looked like someone tried to life the envelope as far as they could without ripping it. Picture is here. Does this mean they already are watching the vendor?

Feds can do only a few things:

  1. They can order to get general loc, check for prints, and get a profile of package.

  2. They can use profile of package to disrupt business and collect customer info.

  3. They can have postman to lookout for profile and note what blueboxes they were dropped at.

Really thats it. Keep your prints off of it, drop at different boxes around town, and when it comes to profiling, use e-labels, the stamps/tracking sticker combo is pretty dated any no one uses this anymore except drug dealers and old people.

nothing stops them and they are doing this every day. once they find a weakness they can exploit it. Follow all rules and common sense and its not so hard, they will order 2-3 times and give up. Keep in mind multiple agents from the same agency may order, as there are agents in the DEA all over the USA doing small buys trying to make an easy bust. They get free bitcoins, a vendor should assume at least 1/100 orders are dea/leo

You can't even comprehend how much shit goes out, and how many people are selling drugs through the mail. DNMs are a drop in the bucket compared to what gets sold in this country. Bigger dealers will get busted if they are sloppy, but the DEA is so overwhelmed doing other shit, and USPS has way too much shit going through to spend a significant amount of time inspecting everything. Vendors change drop locations, and in any area there are usually a lot of them if its a city. It takes a lot of resources to bust a DNM vendor unless they are sloppy, even before BTC. Back when people were using WU you didn't see too many vendors get popped.

My stuff just came from Europe to US with no return address. I think it would be suspicious not to have just a fake return address. I might msg the vendor to recommend that, although he has a perfect track record with high volume, so I guess he knows what he's doing.
