How do you take deliveries anonymously?
(lemmy.world)
Depends on what you want delivered and your threat model:
There are services that will buy stuff from Amazon have it delivered to a locker and they give you the code: https://anonshop.app/
For mail one method has been to scout out a house, the have mail sent to it. Pick it up from the house. (Nobody home, before owners retrieve it, etc) - this is illegal and considered theft of mail
You can pay someone money to receive a package then they can leave it at a dead drop
You can get have someone else setup a mailbox for you, but give you the key. (Post box, or mailbox etc)
You can use a virtual address service, and they receive the mail for you and scan it so you don't need physical delivery.
If your just going for general privacy any method is fine.
If you want to accept packages from fans but not give out your home address and PO box works
If you want to something that can get you in trouble you have to now account for whoever is going to get you into trouble and how much effort they will put into finding you, and what 'rules' they will follow.
Trackers In a package - Faraday cage..
Watching the mailbox to see who picks it up - don't pick up consistently/counter surveillance
Packages that explode, or poisoned - examine, scan, open in controlled environment.
If your adversary is the mail system, do something else. They can scan all packed for patterns, check for chemicals, x-ray, density scan, etc. if your trying to hide from the network (mail system) while using them systematically your going to lose.
