USPS Notifications

ad

Curious to know what you all think about signing up for electronic notifications. Ideally, it would be nice to stay in the loop to know when something is out for delivery/ready for pickup/etc. but this also risks plausible deniability in the event that it's a setup. Expecting to hear people say this is paranoia but I think this is a valid question and could easily see it going either way. Thoughts?

Hampers, but you still can claim you ordered what you thought were Legal sups. Whereas before you could say you didn't order it at all. It's hard to prove intent unless they have the entire transaction spelled out.

There are 3rd party companies that will track packages from every carrier if you want to be "paranoid" safe by not pinging USPS with your IP.

If you want to be in the loop because you're too lazy to check, post the tracking number here and we will alert you of any changes.

Just in case, DON'T post your tracking here, what the hell are you thinking??

ChampMike's picture

Hey thanks man, I appreciate the offer!

Tracking number: "CLUELESSN00B1E"

Please let me know when it's ready for pickup. Thanks again! :-)

lol hope you’ve been well boss. It’s been a minute.

Pale's picture

Still batshit crazy, thanks bro

DfromPhilly's picture

Don’t do that. If you must track use a vpn and check it manually. Or use a 3rd party tracking site like 17 track

ChampMike's picture

VPN avoids the IP issue but I still agree with the overall premise.

You talking about informed delivery? I get emails daily and it screen shots letters and package tracking numbers. Unless you go into the informed delivery app, it's not showing that you are monitoring something. You get to see it all via email.

ChampMike's picture

If I'm understanding you correctly what you're referring to is the general notification service USPS offers. I tried that for a while and just found it to not be worth it considering most of what I get daily is junk mail, etc. (just saying for me personally). What I'm asking about here is specific to a particular tracking ID. My inclination is to pass on it but was just interested in gauging the opinion of the community.

herpjunkie111's picture

I use informed delivery too, know what's being delivered every day. Mainly just bills though...

DfromPhilly's picture

That I would use if it was available by me. It wasn’t last I checked. I need to check again

herpjunkie111's picture

Yeah check again if it's been awhile, they constantly add new areas as they put the equipment in to do the scans.

DfromPhilly's picture

Just checked and it’s available. Wham-o

herpjunkie111's picture

Lol, perfect! Now you, like me, get to see all your bills twice - first a scan then the real thing when you get home and collect the mail Smile

I do like opening the email from them though and seeking I have a pack coming.

DfromPhilly's picture

Yea I’m pumped and I don’t get many packs but I do like the plausible Deniability built into the tracking that way. If you get updates on everything... who’s to say I’m looking for anything.

DfromPhilly's picture

I totally get that. The likely good of checking tracking coming to bite you is very very small. I just rather play it safe.

herpjunkie111's picture

I've got a pack that's been inbound into customs for two solid weeks now. I'm gonna call and see what the damn holdup is Smile

Might have something to do with that cargo container full of cocaine they found in the port of Newark that came from china......

herpjunkie111's picture

Lol, wear the tightest tank I own and drive up there with an ez-curl and plates in the trunk so I can catch a good pump before walking in? And luckily I just shaved my arms a couple days ago, so I'm good there.

DfromPhilly's picture

That reminds me I gotta take a hedge trimmer to my back and arms. Starting to become short sleeve/tank weather around here soon and I’m lookin like a warewolf

I got laser hair removal on my back and upper arms. Like 7 treatments and I swear it’s worse than when it started. I wonder if it’s useless against test.

DfromPhilly's picture

Lol you ain’t kiddin

juiceball8082's picture

Exactly and it will display tracking numbers arriving soon. Unless you physically go in the app to track, I think we're good. No difference then tracking through the website.

herpjunkie111's picture

Yep, or just use 17track

ChampMike's picture

Right, 17 track is what I've been using so far. Just thought it might be nice to get a notification for missed delivery during the day so I'd know to stop by the post office on the way home. Not a big deal though... can always just grab it the next day (unless its Sunday).

The problem with not using your real name is if it goes to the post office you won’t be able to pick it up without an ID. I don’t sign up for notifications I just track it. Keep in mind most USPS employees are pretty awesome and just looking forward until retirement. I wish sources would use fed ex or ups because it’s not federal. Also boarder patrol/customs has way bigger fish to fry with the opioid crisis and all the actual drugs coming over that are profitable but the boys in blue could come knocking at anytime. I just usually keep my gear stashed somewhere only I can find it just in case. I always stress with every order I place this is why people use domestic sources.

Get tracking numbers and don't order the stuff using your real name! Then you're safe.

PARANOIA

Bill G's picture

To avoid paranoia i just get mine straight from the under cover cop at the gym. Then i dont have to worry about them coming to my house to arrest me

ChampMike's picture

lol yes yes, as expected.

Just seems sketchy to be entering full name and email for a specific package because then obviously you were expecting it and knew what it was.

juiceball8082's picture

I see saying to get info on certain said pack then no, but informed delivery shows all your mail through email and shows what's arriving. Unless you go into to the app itself and track the actual package your good.
