Idea for importing goods from international

Parcelpod is shutting down their electronic lockers.
Without a fake id or a solid drop address doesnt seem to be any good ways to get stuff without putting your own name / address on the line, so ive brainstormed

What if it were possible to put a waterproof magnetic gps tracker under a postie van, use some strangers house even where people live but are generally at work/school during daytime mon-fri as a drop address, and then the gps tracker will let you know around what time the posties are getting near to that address and you can be there to intercept the mail right after it gets dropped off, or maybe even if they're about to leave a note to pick a package up after knocking on the door, right after you could jump out with keys in hand as if you're going into the house and pretend to be a resident and sign for the pack

This is assuming the same vans do the same areas over and over again

If anyone has inside knowledge of how nzpost work would help

I'd imagine if all the vans go to lockup at night that might make getting the gps tracker under the van harder but still doable

Re: Idea for importing goods from international

It looks like Parcelpod will still be available but not using the fully automated electronic lockers. Maybe it is going back to the old way where they had lockers with keys instead of temp codes to access.
