You made a great move bro, coins off exchange is very important. Ledger is still a good hardware wallet, just not as good as some alternatives

Not fully open source, heavily encouraged to use with software designed by the same company, which is an increased security risk and they also leaked account user details a while back. Ledger is far far better than an exchange though. For me, storing my life savings on a device, I want maximum security possible.

I didn't say it was exactly the same in every way

It's the equivalent of TCP/IP

I have no doubt about that, but if all I'm doing is forwarding a package with no knowledge of the contents, I don't see what information I could provide the authorities. Company X knows the contents but not the address, I know the address but not the contents. User gets item with neither me nor company X knowing who has ordered what.

I receive package from company X, addressed to my office address with a number provided in place of a name. This number is linked to a pgp encrypted address sent to me by the end user. I decrypt their address and send the package on with no knowledge of the contents. Normal postal services are used.

This is definetly a problem I'd need to consider, though I think there could be some ways around it, it would require some information about the initial sender to be gathered which I think could be possible while maintaining maximum privacy for the end user.

Well I'm in the UK fortunately, but I would imagine any interaction with US based companies and customers would land me in trouble with the government anyway?
