I have an idea for a SE. With most companies they will tell you where the last update on the package and if you go to the UPS store and you pick it up before transit and claim a DNA and if the company does an investigation they look at the tracking number and see it never arrived.

Would they even allow you to pick it up in store? And if they do let you, what makes you think they won't update the status accordingly? Try it and report back

surely if you opted to pick up in UPS store, it wouldn't have any more transit following?

if you're thinking about picking up in store while the address is set, they will either not allow you to collect, or check it out and mark it as delivered (did that with SF express, unrelated to SEing. But I had to get those documents urgently so I went to pick up in one of those warehouse-SF store hybrids, and they marked it as delivered).

and if you go to the UPS store and you pick it up before transit and claim a DNA

Then they'll deem this as delivered.

It's no different to personally accepting the package at your home.

Thanks for clarifying.

Thanks for clarifying.

You're welcome.

I can certainly see your point and as with every SE, everything can be manipulated- meaning the only way I can see your method working, Is If the UPS store does not request any form of Identification/verification at the time of collection. As such, anyone other than yourself could've collected It and on those grounds, the DNA can be claimed.

Yeah my local UPS requires a ID and i had to go pick up an item from the UPS and i didn't notice them type in anything or scan anything i don't know if the worker was new or just being lazy ill have to pick up more items from them to see if it was a one time fluke so i was thinking i pick up the item and when the UPS driver comes and picks it the package up for delivery and sees it is not there and claim it as lost in transit also ty for the praise

Like today i bought a book from amazon and saw it was delivered to my local UPS for pickup

This Is basically what I'm referring to In my previous post.

Given your ID was not scanned, copied or otherwise, they cannot conclude that It was yourself who collected the package.

i don't know if the worker was new or just being lazy ill have to pick up more items from them to see if it was a one time fluke

I certainly agree.

You'd need to establish whether they continue to operate In the aforementioned manner and If so, the DNA Is well and truly possible.

If i find out they are supposed to copy or scan my ID i could wait until they are busy and se out of giving my ID just can't make a habit out of it unless i slightly disguise myself with slightly different features like a hat or a switch of mask

I read a study on facial recognition and wearing an all black mask makes it harder for people to recognize your face compared to a white mask and if you wear just a plain blue medical mask you are more likely to fit into a crowd

Good thought.

Either that, or report your ID as missing a few days prior to the SE. As such, someone who had knowledge of your delivery (other than yourself) collected the package. Alternatively, you can "manipulate the ID", which I'm not at liberty to discuss. I'm sure you get the point.

Put simply, you'd want to be part of the "majority" and not minority.

Identifying one Individual In a crowd of 100, Is certainly a lot easier than 1 In 10,000.
