NO.


It is like a tracking number that the vendor usually holds on to so that you can not ever say you didnt get your package. If you did, the vendor would have the DCN to prove you are lying. It helps keep everyone a little more honest.

Keep in mind though, DCN only shows the pkg. was delivered.  It does not tell you to where it was delivered so it's entirely plausible for your pkg to show delivered yet ...not to you.  Sometimes the shipper makes a mistake with the address..or the buyer inadvertently typos when giving out the shipping address.  Mail theft is common with the USPS and some mail carriers are thieves.  It's easy for a carrier to scan your pkg as delivered and take your drugs home  with him.  If you ship and/or receive DCN packages regularly and for long enough.eventually you are going to lose one or two and never learn what happened to it.
