UK specific - How do vendors use tracked shipped while maintaining their OPSEC?

I used Silk Road, Alphabay and some others back in the day.

Curiosity had me looking at Drughub and Awazon tonight.

Many vendors are using various tracked services and I don't understand how this can be safe for them as it surely involves either card payment or paying cash under cctv in a post office. What am I missing?

only with a top stealth,and the order looks like a clearnet order...ofcourse untracked is safer to vendors

Just a guess, but some of the bigger ones *probably* have "legit" businesses that they mix with some of there other deliveries. And probably change shipping labels regularly. And somewhere along the line they're will be "plausible deniability". But I don't think all of them use proper OPSEC. Which is why many get caught when a market gets busted.

The UK is a weird one as well, it has the most CCTV out of all the "Democratic" countries.They're not generally too hard on users, but sellers get it pretty bad, and drug trafficking across borders - you get absolutely fucked for that.

I'm no expert though!

Also, it's tricky but the main reason they use tracked in my opinion, is likely so if there is a dispute, they have proof. (If it's an escrow order)

/d/superlist markets only. We do not endorse or suggest the use of independent escrow. Only market escrow. See /d/superlist.
