If you're feeling suspicious, just ask them to weigh it right then and there—if items are missing, the scale doesn't lie.
To be honest, I'm not quite sure what else to suggest since timing is everything here—you really have to act fast.
However, the woman who received it should head over and file a formal complaint immediately; they are required to take the report. She might not get reimbursed if she didn't flag it instantly, but maybe her report will help catch those thieves who clearly think they can get away with stealing in broad daylight.

That's solid advice—I wouldn't have thought of that myself—and it seems like these tampered shipments are becoming way too common lately.

I have a quick question—does anyone know if there's an extra fee at the UPS Store when you add a "fragile" sticker to a package?

I just received my yellow slip to pick up a package with COD fees. I was expecting some textbooks—seven of them, actually—and the clerk told me after checking at the local USPS office that the shipping would be $9.25. Based on that, the total including shipping should have been $54, but this notice says I need to pay $59. Does anyone know what could account for that $4.75 difference?

Oh, I wasn't suggesting we buy one—I actually meant using a shoebox instead! 😂

1. how much is the shipping?
2. do they go in a box or a package?
3. do you get any kind of receipt confirming it was sent?

You can just send them as a package—it'll cost you roughly $4.25 (up to 5 kg and $33 in value; if you declare a higher amount, it's a bit more expensive, but not by much. Just check the USPS package rates online). It’s probably best to use one of their branded boxes. And yes, you'll definitely get a receipt once it's sent.🙂

Back again with my endless postal headaches.😁

So, a woman needs to send me a small package containing a few pairs of pants for my daughter—exactly four pairs—but she claims she went to the post office and the shipping is coming out to about $5.😕 Is it even possible that there isn't a cheaper way? I see girls over here sending packages for closer to $2.$6.75 🤷 Normally, this would be a shipment going from Savannah all the way to San Francisco.

What’s the best way to ship a book or two from Washington, D.C. over to San Francisco?
