Buyers do all kinds of shenanigans with addresses. I'm nearly certain that my one missing order was due to this. I'm sure other vendors can confirm that the addresses are just ridiculous sometimes, either the name itself or the reckless formatting. Missing zip codes etc. I bet a substantial majority of parcels that go missing (and aren't due to scammers) are simply undeliverable. Then they end up in one of those huge warehouses where posties tear through them trying to find clues to get them delivered. Fun job I bet.Just think about how much legit mail you've had go missing -- I can't even recall a single piece. The mail system is solid. It would be pretty easy to thwart electronic sniffers I think, especially if there was a concerted effort. Throw a gram of finely powdered offender into a blue boxes near major shipping hubs on a regular basis. Everything gets contaminated (not quite, but you know what I mean). If this model of drug distribution ever scales up, I think they will focus on cracking down on the mail though. Then again, given the financial situation faced by the post, they may be limited anyhow.I think a huge dead drop network would be brilliant though, but that's another animal entirely. Quote from: pine on February 11, 2012, 05:54 amI'm a business person, not a drug user. Are these mutually exclusive?I think that's a brilliant idea (your drug 'bomb' idea) Very achievable with very little product, for $100 at each node we could guarantee a huge backlog in the mailroom with next to no risk. The key thing, is to coordinate such efforts for maximum impact. We could keep up such an attack for months at next to no affect on our bottom line, I'm pretty sure the CEOs will bend to the bottom line once they see the numbers. Postal inspection is always subject to economic realities, and this definitely hits them where it hurts, especially since they wear throughput rate of post as a badge of honor.As for your comment on my comment, the answer is no. I was not implying some snooty customer derision or contempt to drug users. My point was that this is a business like any other business. I don't have to smoke or inject all my products before I sell them. They do however, go through an extremely rigorous testing regime and quality control process that I consulted with industry experts over several months to achieve. Getting paid three times the yearly salary of my peers within a single week has a tendency to focus the mind on ROI and everything to do with it.The days of having to smoke a batch with the local gang to prove you're legit are long gone, today drug manufacture, drug agronomy, drug distribution are as corporate as Starbucks and just as ubiquitous. The different with the Silk Road, is that the payment mechanism has finally caught up with the market.Capitalism <3Also, on the dead drop network, there's a fellow thinking about similar ideas called Project Zanzibar here:http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=11112.msg102309#msg102309
