Makes you wonder if there is a business model here of re-shipping crypto wallets.

There already exist several companies which you can use to receive mail or packages and then forward to another address without opening, such as iPostal1, Traveling Mailbox, or Anytime Mailbox. It would be preferable to use a general company which forwards any package as opposed to one which only forwards hardware wallets, for the exact reason that if the forwarding company leaks user data, then if they only deal with hardware wallets then you are back at square one.

I look it at closer to the fact that a single trusted user doing it as a side hustle that only deals with hardware wallets is more likely to get away with the 'I don't keep records' thing if something happens then a full service company. I know a lot of the mail forwarding places do keep records and have handed them over to the authorities if requested. The o_e_l_e_o re-ship service could get away with a lot more, and if you are ordering the device yourself you have 0 concern about someone shipping you a pound of meth that you then forwarded on...

Taking it a step past that you could always keep a few of the more popular ones sitting around and then just ship from stock, but when the next model comes out you might be stuck with the old one.

You would never get rich doing this, but beer money is good :-)
