Friendly Reminder: USPS Ground Advantage : OpSec | Torhoo darknet markets

I recently saw a post regarding this particular shipping service, and given the lack of relevant responses I figured it might be a good time to finally make an account

If you are dealing with a vendor that happens to use USPS ground advantage - and more specifically its commercial variation (the prices are lower than for the retail version , and buyers could encounter it if for example they are dealing with a vendor that uses some legit company's mailing service) - you need to be aware of:

USPS rule 3.2.1

"3.2.1 Inspection of Contents
Articles mailed at USPS Ground Advantage — Commercial prices are not sealed against Postal Service inspection. Regardless of physical closure, mailing articles at USPS Ground Advantage — Commercial prices constitutes consent by the mailer to Postal Service inspection of the contents."

In other words, AVOID it.

is that really any different from priority? the only mail protected by any rights is first class

Not true. The protections on First Class Mail also extend to Priority & Priority Express, and I believe Ground Advantage, as well.

"U.S. mail—specifically First-Class Mail, Priority Mail, and Priority Mail Express—is considered sealed against inspection. This means postal workers cannot open, read, or inspect the contents without a search warrant or the recipient’s explicit permission."

This info is in a few different places too. Domestic Mail Manual (USPS DMM 508.1.1.3), USPIS Public Guidance, & federal law (39 U.S. Code 3623[d]) all clarify that the protections for "First Class Mail" established in the 1970 case actually extend to all "sealed" mail, which Priority & Priority Express are both considered to be.
