That is something I am looking into as well. Near me we have had many new houses being build. I pass them regularly and I have a good idea of which are used and which are vacated, still thorough scouting will be required of course. That may be another idea to add to your list of possibilities as some of these houses are yet to be bought.

Good luck!

Hi all, been a while since I've posted on Sinisterly or SEd due to dealing with IRL stuff. Will be a lot more active now.

I'm looking to run a lot of SEs in the future and my drop isn't active because of covid so looking for a new drop. Anybody got any methods or out-of-the-box ideas for finding a drop? UK based. I don't really live in the best place to find houses for sale. Found a bunch of properties for sale and scouted them out and only found one which was actually abandoned and looked do-able. Was a bitch to find as I looked at like 20 houses so hoping sending a package there will actually land. Read a bunch of methods but none seem stable enough to do a lot of things or even valuable things to.

Let me know if you have any new ideas or have been having trouble trying to find a stable drop as well.

from me the best drops are the condominiums ... because practically there is always some empty / rented apartment ... in any case if you put yourself in front of a single house for rent and wait outside the courier should work

a good trick for the uk, is if you know exactly which courier will be used, and if said courier supports this feature; you can send it to literally any address, then go to track your parcel and request for it to be picked up from a collect plus point / post office etc.

Does that not require an ID? In cases where I have done this I have been asked for some form of ID (bank card, passport, driving license, EU ID card etc). They do in fact accept many forms of ID and generally just glance at it and give you the package.

Excellent point.

As a concerned customer due to the COVID-19 situation, simply call and ask what carrier will be used- namely whether they have social distancing measures In place. Under the circumstances, the nature of this manipulation will get a response without fail.

Sadly doesn't work as you need a ID. Already attempted it a few times and as I use a fake name for my SEs; they don't accept the ID and in result, don't hand over the package.

95% of the time if you send it to a paki shop / corner shop they dont give a fuck aslong as you have the email and barcode to collect. collectplus and yodel both offer a lot of these paki shops for collection.

you can also just SE the staff in said shop. I usually walk in and say "its my first time doing this thing, im not good with technology, did i come to the right place?" blah blah blah

you can also do your research and specifically target a certain store... come in multiple times previously to having your parcel delivered there and make good friends with the staff so they know you, and have a suitable well established level of trust towards you.

you can also very easily acquire a "legitimate" ID from various sources. TOR, street contacts, etc.

Ensure you do NOT send to royal mail / post office counters. They will for SURE require ID as its a government establishment.

What form of ID Is required?

Not everyone has a photo ID (nor Is It a legal requirement) so If this Is not part of the equation, well, I don't need to explain how to manipulate a document.
Note: I do not condone falsifying documents.

In my experience they accept many forms of ID including some without a photo. Typically bank cards work just fine as long as it’s the same name on the card and the parcel.

I have collected parcels from corner shops and Royal Mail using a debit card on several occasions with ease. Of course those were legitimate situations with my personal bank card. As I said earlier they only glance at it to establish the name matches and give you the parcel so further verification is not required.

I would say this will work (without trying it myself) though as per the OP you would be requested to show a form of ID.

Very Informative Indeed, thank you.

Do you happen to know whether a "birth certificate" Is also accepted?
