Josh Bridgman arrested

You will. not "avoid" a controlled delivery. This is a fantasy based on a cartoonish perception of how law enforcement works.

No signature is required. No agent disguised in a uniform is required.

"Damn, he outsmarted us! Fooled again!"

LOL

Where do people even get ideas like this? Now I can become a billionaire cocaine and heroin dealer just by refusing to open the door. Why did criminals not get this advice earlier?

All of that said, fwiw, they know far more than they act on. Every package (every piece of mail generally), is carefully logged and masses of data are analyzed for all sorts of connections

Yeah, this. You would be disturbed if you knew how much information they had about your mail, stored for years.

If a domestic seller gets busted, they'll likely figure out who they've been selling to.

Now this is something I have never heard of them following up on, i.e., going after customers after busting a seller. I cannot even think of one example.

You're aware every piece of mail is scanned, an image stored, optical character recognition reading mailing and return address.

Sender and recipient logged.

In your experience, do UGLs use a different return address each time? Even if it's fake, is it unique each time you get a package?

They certainly don't in mine.

They can't do that without drawing suspicion.

So one controlled buy, one package prepared for mailing discovered during the bust, reveals that address.

Then a cross reference to the records we know they have, and they've got a list, and pics, of every pack mailed using that return adress.
