I recently ordered some spores from Ralphsters... Since I can't find mason jars over here, I'm considering ordering some along with vermiculite and perlite from amazon... Is this pushing it as far as suspicious activity through mail is concerned, or am I just being a little paranoid? P.S. Everything is being shipped through USPS.

You just aren't looking hard enough. Canning jars can be found at your grocery store. They may only be available during canning season. Almost every gardening store has perlite. Vermiculite is a bit more difficult to find in the Caribbean, but it will be around if you ask. If I can find this stuff on the tiny island that I live on, not too far from you, then you can certainly find it. PR is huge.

Hmm.. are you so sure about the jars availability?? I'm pretty sure I can find the perlite and vermiculite in a gardening store.. but canning is pretty unknown here, not even walmart carries them.

I personally wouldn't buy jars, perlite, and verm together, or individually online in general.
No such thing as paranoia when it comes to purchasing the tools necessary for a grow op.
If I get entered into a system for buying lights for my fish tanks in person, I'm sure as hell not getting shroom supplies with a credit card, let alone shipped to my house.

I'm gonna try to look harder for the mason jars, but if I don't find them I guess I'll order them individually. The spores were bought without a credit card. It's the "mailing 2 suspicious items to the same address" I'm worried about, even if they are both legal to possess.

You are right to worry, though 99.9% of people that do this get away with it.
I think its funny how when you look up one of these things on Amazon, the others come up, apparently many people do these things. Lots of them are surely growing edibles with pf-tek.
If you order the things from different distributors that should fix the problem since there is no centralized database of what you order.

But they will all appear on my credit card history! Anyway.. It IS funny how all the items are connected in amazon. Yeah I bet they are growing edibles, just like me

The credit card history doesn't contain what you order, it just has the name of the vendors.
Sending a copy of the receipt to the credit card company is not part of the card validation process, so they have very little visibility into what you are ordering.

No place is that backwards as to not have canning supplies.
Check into local producers. Anyone who grows anything has to have a way to store it. Canning is a pretty standard method of storing things.
People that make pickles, pickled eggs, hot mommas, pig's feet, tomatoes, canned beans, etc. will have and know where to get canning jars. Look for homemade type stuff, usually they put it into canning jars.
You also don't need canning jars for growing at all. There's no reason to waste money on canning jars when you can use any old jar you want. Pickle jars, spaghetti jars, etc.. Any jar with a metal lid will work just fine.
The only problem you will run into is that most jars have a neck on them where you can't get your cake out easily. To solve this just break up the cake and case it or just break it up and throw it right on the perlite.
You can also break the jar, but then you run the risk of getting broken glass in your mushrooms.
I'd guess homemade salsa is big down there... they must put it in canning jars if it is to keep long.
You can also use drinking glasses or tin cans with tinfoil lids. Or #5 plastics.
Canning jars are just easiest for noobs, they are by no means required.
You could also grow on grains and case, it's not that hard.
Or just order them from a supplier, they're not suspicious in any way by themselves.
