What are some safe ways to get postage?

I'm just learning out of curiosity. It's not like anyone on this sub would vend.

Shipnik seems meh. They probably purchase their postage from one account, and it's obvious that vendors would use Shipnik, so I need a more anonymous way that can't be profiled.

I know there are Priority stamps. Are they worthwhile?

What about printable postage? Would that be better? How would I get that? I am thinking I can buy prepaid Visas with BTC, but I don't know where to order from.

Any other methods? I don't think sending another person to the post office to get stamps would be safe since the transaction is recorded, there are cameras, and it is possible that each stamp is unique so it can be traced.

Let me know what you think.

Edit: Also, I am not sure if my printer is anonymous. It is black and white. How would I know? Should I buy a cheap label printer?

Stamps aren't traced bruh it don't happen. I buy from Wal-Mart. They don't scan them. I've read indictments of some vendors

All printers can be traced. Fake id and po box fixes that

no offense man... but I really, really , really hate these threads

it's not like it's a big secret to them as it is, but you're literally making a checklist on 'what to phase out next' for the postal inspectors to work their way down over the course of the next few years

figure all this shit out yourself

What are you smoking? Its not like anyone on the DarkNetMarkets subreddit would vend? WTF. Of course people on this sub vend. Thats what this whole sub is about, vendors selling things and buyers buying them. What sub did you think you were on? This is a subreddit about illegally vending shit on the darknet. Anyway, All new vendors encounter this question. First, dont make forged stamps/postage like those idiots that got busted. That is just stupid, cheap, and not only exposes you, but puts your customers in danger. Printed postage from places like Stamps.com....nope. Pretty much out of the question. I dont think getting prepaid visa's and all that cuts it. From what I saw, you have to pretty much identify who you are to get an account on those sites. I think trying to get setup with an anonymous/fake identiy would be pretty difficult, and not worthwhile.

The only real valid and safe method is the one you dismiss. Either you, or a friend, just go in a post office with CASH (there is no tracing the transaction, and no, each stamp is not unique). There are no serial numbers or other unique identifiers that could connect a stamp to where it was purchased and by who. NONE. So even if you did use a bank card, no one is going to track you down thru the stamp, not possible. Not with the tracking number stickers either, they are free and there isnt ANY transaction. Nor are they in any sequential order like you might think, so that if they found out about one number, its not like they would have a list of the whole batch of tracking stickers you picked up, so that they could be flagged and be on the look out for them. There does not appear to be any pattern in the numbers in a stack of tracking stickets. You just go in with cash, or send a friend, dont act suspicious or shady, and ask to buy however many stamps you want. We use only priority mail, so the stamps are 5.75 a piece, and are 10 to a sheet, we usually get several sheets at a time (although many times they dont have enough, particularly if you goto smaller branches or contract post offices, mix up which PO you goto if it makes you feel more comfortable). We also pick up a stack of tracking stickers and a big stack of open window priority mail envelopes at the same time. We have a story prepared in case they ever ask why we need to mail so many things, but no one has EVER asked. Ya, there are cameras, so we may wear pretty plain clothes, sometimes a hat and sunglasses but non of that is probably necessary. Just dont act shady, and dont look like a punk kid or drug dealer. Look like a respectable individual that would legitimately need such things, for like a business or a office or something. And act the part. Really, its not that big of a deal, nothing illegal about buying stamps, and no way at all to connect a stamp on a seized package back to who bought the stamp (UNLESS you use one of the print your own postage places). Its dropping off the packages/letters that you need to be more concerned about. And thats what blue drop boxes are for, so your face is never connected to a package being dropped off.
