Anomaly Hunter is an automated alert system built into NullShip. It reads the same publicly available carrier tracking data that anyone with a tracking number can access — and warns you when something doesn't look right.
Anomaly Hunter does not inspect, open, or store information about the contents of your packages. It only reads carrier tracking statuses — the same data visible to anyone who enters a tracking number on a carrier's website. No additional data is collected, stored, or shared.
Carrier tracking feeds sometimes include keywords that indicate a package has been held, confiscated, or flagged by customs. Anomaly Hunter continuously scans these public status updates and alerts you the moment one of these keywords appears.
You get notified before you walk back to a drop-off point that may already be compromised.
Not all seizures are announced. Sometimes a package simply stops moving — no negative status, no customs flag, just silence. This is the typical signature of an undeclared interception.
Anomaly Hunter detects packages that go quiet for an unusual amount of time and flags them as potential silent seizures. The absence of information is information in itself.
When tracking data shows a package was deposited at a drop-off point but never moves again, it could mean the package was stolen by a carrier employee or someone at the drop-off location.
These cases are flagged automatically and manually reviewed before confirmation. If confirmed, the drop-off point is marked as burned.
Every time an incident is detected on one of your shipments, the drop-off point used for that shipment is automatically added to your private burned points list. This list is permanent and visible only to you.
Before your next run, check your list. If a point is burned, don't go back.
The burned points from all users feed into a shared, fully anonymous database. You can search any city to see if other senders have reported incidents there — before you use a drop-off point for the first time.
Results only show the drop-off point address, carrier, date, and reason for the incident. No sender names, recipient details, or package contents are ever shown. Nothing is traceable back to the person who reported it. Additionally, when you search for shipping rates, cities with burned points are automatically flagged — so you get a warning before you even select a carrier.
Anomaly Hunter assigns you a performance rank for each country you ship from, based on how your delivery success compares to the average of all senders from that country.
The ranks — Ghost, Shadow, Operative, Exposed, Burned, and Walking Target — give you a clear picture of whether your operational security is working or needs improvement. No actual delivery rates are ever revealed, only your relative position.
Ghost — top operator. Shadow — above average. Operative — on par. Exposed — below average. Burned — needs serious revision. Walking Target — consider stopping.
When you create a shipping label on NullShip, Anomaly Hunter registers the tracking number. From that point on, it periodically reads the carrier's publicly available tracking feed — the same page you'd see if you entered the tracking number on the carrier's website.
If the tracking data shows anything unusual — a customs keyword, unexpected silence, or a stuck deposit — you get an alert. That's it. No magic, no surveillance, just automated reading of public data.
Anomaly Hunter costs a flat fee per 30-day period, charged from your NullShip balance. You can cancel anytime — no commitment, no questions asked. If your balance is insufficient at renewal, the subscription simply pauses.
