People are selling packages of unclaimed mail, and you don’t know what’s inside until you open them. Florida-based Fundelivered has sold 90,000 bundles in three years, offloading everything from a $39.98 “mini” sampler to a “party-sized” box of hopefully lucrative loot.
Some customers are hooked on the homeless hauls, like shopper Rachelle Harris, who plans to give her family unclaimed mail for the second Christmas in a row this year.Harris said that last year, her purchase yielded her everything from a knock-off Chanel bag to a human-size Bowser suit, not to mention a bunch of fake IDs.
Mostly, for her family, she said, it was about the laughs.
Medical professional Anna Antonopulos of Oregon, routinely leaves boxes of unclaimed mail in her workplace breakroom.
“At the end of the shift, we open them and get some really funny stuff.”
