How can she be charged for parcels she did not actually accept? Or is the law quite different over there? As in, how would she be charged, there’s no signature of her to agree to pay, say, customs. As she never signed for the parcel.
The law says you are right. UPS ignores this and sends the invoice anyway with some added bullying to pay the outstanding amount. As long as somebody pays and they don’t get a letter from a lawyer or they get sued for littering nothing happens.
She likely can’t be compelled to pay for the packages. If they are COD it’s up to the shipper to get the Cash on Delivery and they are failing in that. Still a big annoyance I’m sure.
She probably has her credit card info on Amazon and the seller got it and has been automatically charging her. It’s harder and takes longer to get charges reversed than to just not respond to a bill in the mail
The article didn’t mention that her card has been getting charged, that would be much worse.
She believes that Amazon sellers stole her information from a dormant Amazon account and are using her name and home address as an easy way to get rid of unwanted return items that sellers either cannot afford to store or do not wish to store. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) told CBC that it sounded like a vendor-return scheme that’s common in the US but rarer in Canada, where foreign sellers dodge fees associated with storing and shipping return items by sending the items anywhere but their own addresses.
Deny the ones with customs charges. Keep, donate or sell the rest of it. For $300 I’d be happy to donate decent stuff to local shelters though.

Only in america can you do whatever the fuck you like to someone because they cant afford legal defence.
There are many countries where that can happen. Canada, for example. That’s where this woman lives.
I named America in particular for its infamous promenance of SLAPP suits.
Ok, but we’re still talking about Canada here.

Not sure how USPS is involved seeing as how the woman is in Canada.
