Social Engineering in case of warranty exploitation is safe if you are good, because you basically act as if the warranty claim was legit and they then process the replacement, this is surely safe.

Unless you have the product, and all information you provide is valid, you're committing wire fraud/larceny. Don't delude yourself.

Of course, point taken. But they would not process a replacement if they think it's social engineering, I have always used my home address, even for 2 projectors worth of ~8000€ and have never been caught, but it's your choice. I would have used a drop if it was possible, but it went just fine so why risk your item getting stolen at the drop or lost/messed up at the reship when you can go safer.
