Our independent couriers show a photo ID before their very first run. Écrin Points, whether a local shop or a neighbor, pass the same check before they hold a single package.
Every box carries a printed QR code. Your recipient scans it, and only then do your note and your name appear. Until that moment, the mystery holds.
