Yes they very very often ask for a physical ID and don't always accept scans

Yes but as asked a number of times, "do they take a copy of the ID", or simply verify It just by looking at the details?

I think that for a small boutique to accuse them of being the source of the problem seems weird in the sense that they'll make sure to process each order very correctly

Picking & packing errors Is Inevitable In every warehouse environment, Irrespective of size/number of employees.

Over a 35 year period In warehousing & logistics, I've worked In many companies with only a handful of storeman, who picked Incorrect (and sometimes missed) Items quite regularly.

My idea would be to drop it off at a parcel shop that doesn't do too many checks, and isn't too strict with the packages.

How will you Identify that from an external standpoint?

The strategy would be to drop it off the last hour before closing time on Sunday afternoon/evening.
They would then place the package with the others to be able to give it to the driver on Monday morning.

Checking In goods, sorting out their destination and recording the details on the manifest In readiness for dispatch the following day, all takes time.

What happens If the Ink begins to fade during that period?

I'm not really afraid of reprinting in the sense that I'm purposely putting it in a parcel that wouldn't really know what to do in that scenario.

Wouldn't they open the parcel to Identify the consignment?
