Good day to everyone reading this. I'd like to share my recent, and so far bitter, experience with carding and discuss one of the most pressing issues — rerouting packages. Perhaps my journey and mistakes will save someone from losses.
Situation: I recently started learning this business, and the first results seemed to be showing. In a few days, I managed to make four packages worth a total of about $3,500. However, euphoria quickly gave way to despair when I encountered a seemingly insurmountable obstacle — the inability to reroute packages to myself or to a drop.
A timeline of my failures:
I'm desperate. The amount is considerable, and the feeling that the item is right there, in the delivery system, but you can't reach it, is driving me crazy.
Why has rerouting become such a problem?
It's important to understand the context. In the last one or two years, retailers and delivery services (especially in the US) have significantly tightened their security policies due to a surge in fraud. It's no longer a routine service, but a red flag.
What to do in such a situation? Let's consider the options that come to mind for those in despair.
1. Find a drop for pickup (a local collector).
This is the most effective and safest alternative if the pack hasn't yet reached the source address.
2. Fly to the cardholder yourself and stake out their apartment?
This is the WORST possible option. It's strongly discouraged.
3. What can you try to do before despair?
A conclusion for beginners (and a reminder for yourself):
Modern carding has shifted toward perfect preparation before purchasing . The key now is a reliable full-seal (a complete set of data) with access to the cardholder's accounts and email , as well as pre-prepared drop addresses to which the shipment is initially sent. Rerouting during delivery is an extreme, unreliable measure that is increasingly unavailable.
Plan so as not to depend on rerouting. Look for drops, establish logistics for pickup, but never engage in direct confrontation with the cardholder in real life. Security and anonymity are more important than any pack.
Hang in there, learn from the mistakes of others and your own, and remember that the most important thing in this business is not a one-time stroke of luck, but a well-established and secure system. Good luck, but above all, be careful.

However, euphoria quickly gave way to despair when I encountered a seemingly insurmountable obstacle — the inability to reroute packages to myself or to a drop.
A timeline of my failures:
- The first package was sent via UPS. The call seemed reliable, but the result was a categorical refusal to reroute from the delivery service.
- Second package (USPS) – history practically repeated itself. Another refusal.
- Two more packages are currently in transit via FedEx (Ground delivery, ~7 days). I contacted a caller, and he tried to help, but the result was disappointing: the store has placed a direct ban on rerouting this order. All attempts have been blocked at the sender level.

- Store ban: The most common and complex case. Large stores (Best Buy, Apple, Nordstrom, etc.) immediately apply a "no rerouting, no hold for pickup" label to high-risk orders.
- Enhanced verification: UPS, FedEx, and USPS increasingly require confirmation via the cardholder's account (login/password from the store account) or a call from a number linked to the account.
- Behavior Analysis: Unusual last-minute address change requests are automatically flagged.
What to do in such a situation? Let's consider the options that come to mind for those in despair.
1. Find a drop for pickup (a local collector).
This is the most effective and safest alternative if the pack hasn't yet reached the source address.
- Pros: No contact with the cardholder required. The package is sent to the original, "clean" address. You just need to find a reliable person in the city/region who can physically pick up the package from your doorstep or mailbox.
- Cons: Requires strong connections and trust. Risk of being ripped off by the dropshipper. High service cost (up to 50% or more of the item's value). You need to act quickly while the package is in transit.
2. Fly to the cardholder yourself and stake out their apartment?
This is the WORST possible option. It's strongly discouraged.
- Why?
- Extreme danger: You don't know who the cardholder is. It could be an ordinary person, or it could be a gang specializing in cashing out. The risk of physical violence is enormous.
- Legal consequences: You could be spotted by neighbors and cameras. Calling the police on a "suspicious stranger" at your door is a matter of minutes. The result: a criminal case against you, in the real world.
- OPSEK's complete failure: You will expose yourself. This is no longer an anonymous online operation, but a real confrontation.
- Impracticalities: Cost of flights, accommodation, time. You might have to wait several days and still get nothing.
3. What can you try to do before despair?
- Urgently seek out other callers/rerouting specialists. Some have access to more sophisticated methods (hacking cardholder accounts at delivery services, social engineering at a higher level). But this is expensive and the chances are slim.
- Try putting the parcel on hold at location. Sometimes this option (hold at location) is blocked later than rerouting, or it can be used to bypass the block. It requires some expert ringing.
- Accept the loss and learn the lesson. It's brutal, but often it's the only way to maintain freedom and avoid even greater losses. $3,500 is painful, but it's the price of learning. In this market, losses are built into the cost of successful transactions.
