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 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
Oh I see they’re abandoning the packages. So what’s she had to pay then? I guess I don’t understand was she sent to collections? The whole point of CoD is the carrier has package as collateral so…?
Even still if ups refused to resolve the issue I’d let them sue me and get it thrown out in time.
They’re abandoning packages, then sending her a bill for COD as if she accepted the package but didn’t pay.
The fact that if she digs in and fights it she can eventually dispute each charge is somewhat separate from UPS and their collections contractors harassing her about the ‘debt’, or the new packages that keep showing up.
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.

UPS is being UPS here.

Better to have a lawyer send them a letter she will sue for littering and fraud otherwise nothing happens
Involving a lawyer will instantly cost her more than all the delivery charges combined.
