But this is essentially shifting trust to them instead. Its like a VPN, but for payments. But given the nature of anti-money-laundering laws, its only safe from like amazon or your bank (provided you trust privacy.com to not sell your data); The government can definitely have no issues supoena all your purchases.
That and amazon lockers means you can kinda keep purchases somewhat secret. Like um… adult stuff 😏

ThisIsFineDotJpeg@sh.itjust.worksOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you don't have a car to get to a physical store, where (what websites) do you get your electronics?English6·6 days agoOh, I was just asking because I have a BestBuy that’s like a 15 minute drive away, but would take forever to talk to and back from, while carrying the weight of the stuff you bought. I think I also have a Microcenter like 45 min to 1 hour away.
I had a recent terrible experience with Besbuy, so that’s why I can’t use their shipping anymore. (They use Doordash now, and the driver stole my laptop)

Tbh I kinda just gave up on trying to have to deal with cops. A driver stole my laptop that he was supposed to deliver, I just simply call the store (BestBuy) and told them I never got it, if the corporations want to deal with that thieving scumbag of a driver, its their problem, I just want my money back (or just chargeback if they refuse to refund), I don’t feel like wasting time with cops that will do nothing anyways, especially if the refund happens, then I would technically not be out anything (besides wasting a bunch of time).
It’s BestBuy’s fault for using something as sketchy as DoorDash.
