Delivering package to apartment with package receiving (US) : DarknetMarketsNoobs | Torhoo darknet markets
Is this a bad idea? The difference between delivering to a personal mailbox and the package receiving is that there is one or two people managing the receiving desk, so they essentially monitor mail that comes in.
I don't see an issue unless the vendor completely fails at stealth, or if someone orders routine packages and becomes suspicious (bad opsec anyways).
I personally don't recommend ever receiving a pack that requires the package to go directly from a persons hand into your hands. What I mean is a PERSON handing you that package changes the rules a little bit opposed to you going and picking up the package out of a mailbox. You MOST LIKELY would have nothing to worry about but I personally wouldn't risk it but to each their own. 90% chance you'd have success and go home happy but that other 10% possibility is enough for me NOT to go that route. Good luck mate Cheers
I'm not from the US however I'm going to assume what you mean is that your apartment building accepts the parcels for you and you go collect them (concierge)
Their job isn't to inspect the parcels being suspicious unless they can literally see or smell something you'd have to have a bag labelled "drugs" for them to care.
All concierge does is get a big of mail each day, scan it and dump it in the storage room. You should be fine
It is illegal for people to open your mail as /u/ViolentRuski said
As general rule you want to minimize the amount of people handling packages/involved with your shipments, but if this is the option requiring least amount of people, it is the best for you.
I would be hesitant to do this personally because of human error (IE one of the package clerks accidentally puts your package into someone else's mailbox, for example), but that isn't enormous risk.
I would do one thing atop this to further obfuscate patterns or strangeness in packs though. Buy stuff from Amazon and better yet Ebay, ideally stuff sent in mailers similar to what your vendor uses. Have packages coming in from all over the place semi regularly, like 3-4 a month. This will train the employees to see you receiving packs as totally normal, and if all the packs have general similarity to the vendors mailer, the vendors packs will blend in perfectly
You’re right if the vendor’s stealth is good, delivering to a package receiving desk isn’t a big issue. The main risk is ordering patterns that stand out, which is bad OPSEC. Vary addresses and order times to stay low-key. Overall, managed desks can be convenient if stealth and your habits are solid.
if that is how you get your normal mail to your apartment it should be fine. if you are living in a college dorm or something then it might not be okay. don't tell anybody about what you are doing. dnm packages look like regular mail so you should be fine.
