I’m thinking of doing some basic SE using DNA and my question is - will I be able to succeed after forwarding the parcel to a local pickup point?

Try it and find out lol. A local pickup shop obviously wouldn't destination scan the parcel upon receiving it so you should be good using DNA mate

If you'd simply collect the package without the need to provide any form of proof of pickup, then you're good to go.
Unfortunately, many collection points don't operate In that fashion. Hopefully the OP's does.

Probably electronics. I was just thinking of using pickup as it's extensively popular in my country and thus I see it as an opportunity to keep things far from the home address.
Most often they require an SMS/email code (when delivered by DPD, DHL - the biggest ones on EU market, EU-wide companies that I'm most interested SEing use these delivery companies). From what I understand, under such circumstances, there would be hardly a minor chance of getting it logically through?
Delivery companies of less importance on the local market (like UPS used mostly by big IT to distribute across Europe) always verify only the ID document. From what I’ve seen their pickup stores are not that strict about who receives the package - allowing me to say it was desired for my friend or family member.
So there is nothing else than just to try it?

That's what I was concerned about.
Given It's a dedicated code to the account holder, It deems the package delivered- In this case yourself.

Depending on the nature of the Item, you may not need to DNA It.
What exactly Is It, Inclusive of weight?

A smartphone, so the weight would be around 300-400 grams.

There are other methods you can use, such as the sealed box and wrong Item received.
