I had no idea this was possible, but this is a potential game changer. Especially if you can get some sort of temp/burner phone number to help dissociate yourself from it.

Thank you for sharing!

Yeah, I was skeptical if it would work but I took the chance and it was worth it.

I used my Google voice number so my personal number didn’t get shown to every single person and robot that handles the package 📦

Now that I know how it works, I will absolutely be doing it again.

What was the process like when you picked up the package? Did they require and proof of ID, or of ownership of the phone number?

They didn’t ask for any info whatsoever but I’m not sure if that’s the protocol or if they somehow fumbled.

I thought it was standard with many courier companies? At least in the UK and probably in most of Europe. I've received packages like that before and when I buy something online, I see options to have it delivered to a store that's a pick-up / drop-off point for the particular company. This includes, but is not limited to, DHL, UPS, DPD and Evri. And you can have Royal Mail packages delivered to a Post Office.
