Is there any way for you to act as a proxy for users, and pick up their packages from the will-call window at the local UPS warehouse for same-night redelivery?

Is there any way for you to act as a proxy for users, and pick up their packages from the will-call window at the local UPS warehouse for same-night redelivery? It would be an easier sell at $7+ if you can save your customers a drive across town and a wait in the UPS line. Folks also wouldn't have to plan ahead to delivery to Luna. Ideal user interaction would be: open the Luna app and scan the InfoNotice. Perhaps you could hack/co-opt/use carrier services like UPS' MyChoice service, which allows customers to electronically sign for pacakges, and give special delivery instructions.

If you ship the packages directly to them, there is no reason to even think about the UPS facility. You're suggesting as a last-minute choice to use luna? That may be harder as UPS checks IDs.

  >You're suggesting as a last-minute choice to use luna? Yes, as an additional source of business on top of those those who have planned ahead and shipped directly to Luna's warehouse. In this 'after-the-miss' case, Luna could offer to solve an acute, possibly unexpected problem, vs. being one of several options for those who planned ahead (many discussed on this thread: ship to work, use Amazon Locker, etc). >That may be harder as UPS checks IDs. That's why I suggested interfacing with carriers. UPS MyChoice allows you to sign electronically for packages and give special instructions. I imagine FedEx has a similar offering.
