Whats the significance of 97.51%?QuoteDSR: 97.5173783515%Results: 982 out of 1007 packages arrived without incident.97.51% packages from SR get from A to B without incident of any kind. We did an extensive survey of packages from vendors and buyers points of view across many countries. The link is in my sig, as well as other good stuff.The majority of the rest are either lost, received but claimed as missing by fraudulent buyers, are delayed due to mislabeling by the seller or bad address data given by the buyer (happens a lot here) and so on.It's an educated guess to state the the actual rate of interception of SR packages is probably between a half and a tenth of 1 percentage or less. Even in those cases, a whole lot of packages from one or two vendors account for the majority of seized packages, because either the vendor is a complete dumb-ass at packaging and doesn't take it seriously, or else LE already had the vendor under surveillance because of RL related operations.If a vendor trades exclusively on SR and other darknet hidden services, takes the reverse package profiling techniques seriously, is up to date on subjects like particulate penetration rates through HDPP plastic, has a respectable vaccum packing device + experience, then I would estimate the capture/interception rates at between 1 in 1000 - 1 in 10,000. And if you regularly alternate style like some vendors do, then that's irrelevant.If you're a buyer, and you choose a respected vendor with good feedback, positive comments made on packaging, try to obtain your product domestically, then the odds of interception from your point of view are miniscule. About the same as receiving any package from Ebay or Amazon basically. We often get a skewed point of view on the forums, because negative occurrences like a missing package or a love letter are always going to be brought up, but people don't mention every time a package arrived without fanfare.
