SE drop help 05-27-2020, 07:32 PM

So I basically SE'd a high value (around $2500) item and gave them a "drop" address. I don't really live near a drop, but the closest thing near me within walking distance is an abandoned boarded up house. I gave that address and it is going to be shipped there. The problem is it requires signature and fedex doesn't ask for signature, but make sure to give it to a person inside the house. So idk what to do. I can't go inside the house. Can anybody help. I used a fake name too so I can't pick up from a fedex center because id is required and I am literally a kid. Any help would be appreciated. I gave them a drop + fake name because billing. The worst thing that can happen if they figure it out is they will void the warranty. Once I get tracking number i am considering paying the $5 they charge to deliver to another address. After all $5 for a $2500 item is worth it

With COVID, I would say you may be in luck with them leaving it outside. I know someone at FedEx who told me they've been doing that for nearly all packages, but with a boarded house, I doubt they'd just leave the box.
One thing with paying the $5 is, will they update the sender with the change.
It's something to think about, but congrats on SEing such a high-value item!

Honestly I am just going to pay the $5 when I receive the tracking number and send them an old busted up laptop I've been meaning to throw away
