Do you buy your cultivation supplies anonymously?

I’m in the process of building out my lab and I’m someone who values my anonymity / privacy. Do others share concerns with say, buying most things from a place like Amazon? How do you invest in your equipment while not compromising your privacy?

I don't want or expect anyone to care - I just don't want to draw unwanted attention or leave behind a paper trail that could haunt me in future commercial endeavors. It would be trivial to target members of the growing community with a high degree of fidelity using just a simple database query akin to Code:
SELECT CUSTOMER FROM AMAZON_ORDERS WHERE ORDER_ITEMS IN ("PRESSURE COOKER", "AGAR", "HEPA FILTER", "INOCULATION LOOP", "ETC");

I just buy eveything at the store here. If I'm buying a scalpel or a loop or some agar or whatever that I can't get here for a decent price or conveniently, I'm generally making far too ambiguous a purchase to count for anything in legal terms. As was stated above: plenty of people grow edibles or use lab equipment for a plethora of reasons. Thousands and thousands of pre-made jars and bags, totes, syringes, petris, etc. are purchased every day. No biggie. I get jars here for half the price of what I can get online by going through thrift stores and buying lids. Totes are the same price (I hawk for sales). No one cares about petris or pre-pour containers. You see where I'm going with this... The only things I really save money on online that I can get here are nitrile gloves, jar lids, and sometimes iso. I love Amazon, but it doesn't have much to offer me for growing mushrooms, honestly. I'm a thrift store rat and keep an eye on prices at my local box stores and on Craigslist. If you're vigilannt and take care of what you have, you can get whatever you need for virtually nothing. The businessed I deal with for spores... frankly I trust to some degree. That's why I DON'T buy spores from randos off Reddit or no-name sites. There area a number of reasons to use vetted vendors here for spores. Filthykness has the right idea all around though: which is the same sensbility I apply to things like RCs... Just my experience and 2 cents.

No. All this stuff is so generic nobody cares. I have a nice chem lab and those things are a lot harder to explain than anything in mush cult. My chem stuff comes from China bc they don't care they'll ship anything. Everything 'interesting' I buy a lot of so I don't need to source it again for a long time.
   
   No one get too excited, it's potassium nitrate made from scratch using an instant ice pack and lite salt.

I wear these every time I order anything online, or buy anything in person at the store.
Does that count?

Hehe. I don't even keep that shit out of the yard. There is a pile of subs next to a bunch of dirty tubs and jars right now. A bag of grain in the carport. A PC on the grill. Had a case of Petri dishes delivered last week same situation

I think the best is to say you are growing mushrooms. A lot of times lying is more suspicious than just telling the truth.

Lol... how can you if someone owns a horse by looking at them? Plenty of people dressed as cowboy posers who can’t even ride a horse. And plenty of people who wear suit and ties for work that do own a horse.

Well most people don't buy one bag of oats for a horse. They buy a dozen or a pallet. And if you looked at me you would clearly know i don't own a horse

Fair enough... although I've never had the local feed store question why I was buying a single 50 lbs bag of oats even though I don't look like a horse owner either. They are just happy to sell it to me.
