Title: Wish I was a Mailman
Post by: beezerbuz on September 28, 2013, 09:03 pm
I was just thinking the other day,  what a perfect cover.  I mean you have hundreds of random addresses to choose delivery to on your route. If the package is intercepted, LE would just bypass the regular mail man so he would be in the clear (they would either just confiscate it or try a CD on an innocent civilian), the recipient knows nothing about the orders so there are no worries there, it would be extremely difficult to ever be caught from the angles I am looking at.  It would be a bulk delivery wet dream.   Hell its such a clean cover I may have to schmooze up to my mail guy, we all could make money.

I bet there are tons of mailmen that are customers on SR.  Good for them

I don't get how this is a great cover...

Working for LE would be better.

This would work. It is the mailman's job to deliver these things, there is no way he could be held accountable.

You would be smart to stick to 2 addresses only so that they don't realize your route is getting lots of drug packages to random addresses. If a package ever fails to show then stop using that house and a few weeks later choose another second house.

That way if one address is burnt you still have another active one. If you are on foot you may want a car or something along your route to drop it off at, and of course remove the address/postage as it might look like you are stealing mail.

The only downside I can think of is that if you are caught they will want to make an example out of you.

I don't think working for LE would be a great cover for mailing drugs (way to many departments get involved with mailing dope), it is certainly great cover for shaking down street dealers etc (and yest it does happen all the time)

But we are talking a causal user here, a mailman has a HUGE advantage here. 

Hell I already know for a fact the UPS drivers are some of the worst criminals out there.  Back in the day I had many a packages stolen by those crooks, the driver for my block got busted after some of my packages went missing (yes I reported them lost, as they do not need to know what was inside).
