Using the Tracking Alerts option on USPS website...safe to use?

[pesto]

Hi,
I'm expecting a shipment from India, it has n in customs forever,
this has not happened before. I check the website with the tracking
number. And I see they have an option where you will be notified
via text or email every time your package moves. Maybe I'm being
paranoid, but is that safe to use for getting drugs in the mail?
any red flags or anything, or do they not know or care and it's just
an automated thing?
Thanks

A lot of this depends on where you live. Personally, I wouldn't ask to be notified. It'll make it harder to argue that you didn't know about it. Just to be on the safe side. It'll either show up or it won't, so, no matter how low the risk is, I see no reason to take it.

If you must, make it notified by email and make it an email separate to your primary email. But again, it'll either show up or it won't, so I'm not seeing a benefit to taking any additional risks no matter how small. Personally I wouldn't.
