    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.
