There’s a good Darknet Diaries podcast episode that interviews someone with hands on experience with this, and the efforts he went through to conceal his identity while shipping large volumes of illicit USPS packages: https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/132/

The same person also gave a talk at Defcon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01oeaBb85Xc

I'll echo the top Youtube comment here because it fits perfectly:

> When the bald dude with a beard on stage introduces an even balder and more bearded dude to talk you know it's gonna be good.

Ultimately he was caught because he delegated the task to his cousin, who ignored his instructions and sent all the packages from the same post office.

That's why I think I'd make a great criminal: I don't have any friends or family to muck it all up.
