Meanwhile every time I am expecting a package via USPS or DHL, without fail, I get a scam text message about my incoming package. I never get them when I am not expecting a package. This is using a variety of devices, web shops, etc. Somewhere along the way, there is a data stream being sold or leaked.

For what it's worth, I get scam messages claiming to be about usps, dhl, et cetera even when I'm not expecting a package. Recently, I have a couple claiming to be about a package failing to clear customs (but if I just pay a quick fee...).
