Whst are the odds that out of every 'unclaimed mail' package the person only ordered one item? Not even one expensive item. Also, no packing slips inside give it away that they weren't actually packages that a business sent to a customer. Thanks for sharing.
The mail packages being in such good condition is a red flag to me. Usually, they're in kinda rough shape from trying to be delivered and then returned. Goes through a lot of hands, and they get banged up
Yep, same thoughts, the majority of my normal mail from Amazon and whatever is usually in a lot worse shape after just a day or so in the mail. Hard to believe all that was bouncing around in the system lost and came out looking that good… it was fun to watch though and glad you did as good as you did. ✌😊
Yeah, I watch alot of unboxing videos and all of the returned mail has the labels but burnt off with heat. That looks like someone just bagged stuff and sold it. Doesn't even look like bags have been "handled" like no marks from being delivered. I'm sorry, but you always have a great attitute!! I love it!!! An BTW, I absolutely love the items I got from one of your whatnot lives!!! Thanks so much!! Keep the videos coming Melissa!!! ❤❤
They buy huge liquidation pallets and then put the items into shipping packages and pretend to be undeliverable mail. I got fooled before😅 usually orders come with a sales receipt, and none of my packages did. I also got the snowball maker and ice melt.
Hi Melissa! Happy Wednesday! There are a couple of TH-cam channels that open undeliverable US mail. They tend to strike out most of the time also. I was kind of getting the same vibe as you, as to them printing labels and putting their own stuff in the mailer. Love you.❤ Hi to Mom and Dad. 😊
@angelariley5163 Well, guess what she knows for a long while that I had called him that way. It's a loving way to call him, and if it doesn't bother her, then why are you complaining?
@@carmennunnally5776 just cuz its rude to call someones dog by another name and if it was me i would correct u and ask u to call him by his name not something else just saying
Just like you, I think if you had gotten everything for $150 you could’ve turned some profit. Everything looked brand new, except for that one re-taped small package. You really didn’t get any junk or garbage, it’s just trying to connect your items with all the people that would’ve loved to have them. The snow items would be awesome if you could get them up north without having to pay more money. This hall was more fun to watch because the items weren’t junkie. You have a great attitude.! 👍😊
I feel definite scam as none of them had a invoice/receipt of purchase inside either. I hope you can leave a review on there site. I feel bad this happened to you as you are so hard working and honest and down to earth.
I was going to say the same thing. as a shipper, we always put receipts inside in ce a label gets torn off. the post office will open the package looking to see if there is address info. Some companies do not include an imvoice but every package not having one and the shipping labels looking so clean is obviously a red flag. Still had fun watching though. 😊
The vase looks like an antique, early American pattern Glass vase (EAPG). The date could range from the mid to late 1800s to early 1900s.. I couldn't see it well enough in the video to identify that pattern. Prices vary greatly depending on which company made it and the pattern. Some sell for hundreds of dollars, others for as little as $15.
Hey there " tough chick" ! First video I seen from you. Love the attitude. I see a gambler glitter in your eyes. Your 250 did pay for its self.. consider the fun you had. The video you made and some light hearted smiles across TH-cam. I'll revisit your channel. Not to put a downer on the video but.. my first thought was... its swollen packages! This was eye opening to me because for 55 years I been eternal optimist.. my attitude has gone to the dark side.. thanks for the fun of Christmas morning in August !
Look at the shipping tags. They are all printed the exact same. Ink is even the exact same. No post office in the world’s ink is exactly identical like that.
@Franchise Kicks and The Wife open these for just funsies and curiosity. You can rarely make any money on these. The company they purchase from have mostly Walmart returns with Amazon thrown in. If the label is going back to Sayreville, New Jersey - it is Walmart and their secondary sellers. They have gotten a few good things, but not many.
Gotta say you do like to gamble. I’m always rooting for you to get that $$$$$ dollar item to resell. You have such a good personality either way. You rock Melissa. Here is hoping God smiles down on you with your next purchase.
Aw bless you, you kept smiling that lovely smile despite being disappointed 👍 those items have definitely been packaged up purely to scam. At least you were honest and showed exactly what was in there...ive seen videos where they are pulling out ps5's, iphones etc....complete nonsense! So yeah, good for you for being honest. Enjoyed the video 😁👍 subbed from the UK
So sorry Millisa...I think a resaler put stuff in mailing boxes and bags and made money on it.Y ou win some and lose some.You will get something good nextime...love ya Sweetie...🥰🥰😊
Now and again I'll watch lost mail vids, it's definitely the type of thing I'd love to buy if I could, there is something about it that seems addictive. Hope you find a place to buy more cheaper, I'd like to see you find the queen of all finds 💖
Yeah I agree Melissa I’m not sure they are lost mail packages….strange that in all the lost mail packages you can get you end up with four snow related items….strange for sure. Nevertheless great video you are a treasure in yourself x
This being a month old, the thing that came up so often was that there were so many products that were for winter use. Give lost mail 2 - 3 months to go through processing before being liquidated in this manner puts all of these things being "bought" in the spring. Nobody buys ice melt in the spring, unless they are doing it at a clearance, to wait for the next winter, and then is is just impulse, as they see it in the store on clearance. Nobody is searching for these items specifically in the spring. The other snow related items, even on clearance, people aren't going to buy. Who sees a snowball maker in April, even at the store, and thinks "I have to have that now and hold on to it for 8 - 9 months"? Nah. This was all clearance items that were not selling because they were seasonal, and probably weren't selling that well when in season.
I will say the first shake of the ice melt, that’s what I guessed, but living in NH I am familiar with that sound. Not a bad haul, but not sure you got you money’s worth, but fun anyway.
Hopescope did a bunch of lost mail awhile ago and it was lost mail. People move and don’t leave a forwarding address. Mail also gets lost in the mail processing centres. I have had parcels go missing and told by my postmaster that they lose a lot in the processing centres. I bet that gets sold off.
Hmmm. I've seen some "suspicious" package sales where everything looked like it had been sorted through for the good stuff. I would not be surprised if they were scanned? You could definitely tell electronics and jewelry over paper goods and cloth. It would also be possible for people to purchase huge batches; and SORT them; repackaging their....garbage. I would skip ordering from any place that had such homogeneously useless stuff.
So confused...looks like half Target returns, half someone just boxed up some amazon returns...interesting indeed! I was hoping for some diamonds and gold!!
Ya stating the obvious but 10:25 that stuff is not unopened mail. How would they have that many dollar tree and job lots items in one pile? Did it say there could be broken things? Awful. I'd at least complain and report.
It looks like they packaged the stuff up and sold it as mail. Mail would have more damage on the exterior package. Thanks for sharing and giving us the experience.
Considering how high shipping costs are lately, this definitely seems like it is a scam. Sure, some people don't care & ship low value items now and then, but most of the time, the general public isn't going to bother. Even most businesses only give free shipping with a certain value so people are less likely to place such small orders when they have to cover shipping unless it is something special/essential that you can't get from places like Amazon. What are the odds that all of those packages would be new & inexpensive items? Pretty low I'd guess.
I don’t know how I feel about these things. I’ve had the post office claim they tried to deliver things when I was home all day then have them not be able to find them when I go to the post office they were supposedly being held at. It just seems fishy, like someone there is stealing things then they end up on auction sites. I have to admit a lot of the stuff you got looks like Dollar Tree or Big Lots stuff.
There is no way these are lost or unclaimed mail packages. We have all gotten packages in the mail and the bags and boxes inside are beat to crap 🤨 My guess is that the have a label machine and placed them in mailers. \
There was a video of a lady opening a box just like yours. She got the baseball cards and the pack scrubs and fake DVD and winter items to play outside plus the jersey and the container of that snow pellet. Although she kept saying her camera cut out. She got a really pretty plate. So something tells me this is not a mail return item. It's the items that they are putting in the package not worth it to me. I just watched a few minutes ago
Thanks for testing that site and making others aware if they want to buy off it. At least you got a video out of it, can’t win them all Lovely. Onto the next but maybe not that site again, eh?. Good luck on the next. 👏👏🤞🍀❣️
I used to be an Ebay seller 10 years ago I shipped everything priority mail. I am thinking this is undeliverable mail from the US Mail. They probably sell it to the liquidation people. It is most likely Ebay or that kind of stuff. Only thing about that is, the customer got refunds from the sellers and the sellers were jipped. Happened to me many times.
The fact that the snowball maker and snowball launcher were in seperate bags, and most of the bags were identical types of bags, screams this stuff was bagged up to be fake mail.
What a jerk. I got scammed from liquidating also... I work in the medical field and those gowns are for going into contagious rooms or areas. They come sealed in plastic, in about 10 gowns.. can you share the seller so we can at least have that info
i hope you get this message! im not for telling or advising people But please dont let polo play with plastic as he could chok on it, its actually toccic . hope you dont get upset with me.
Malissa, Your money maker is your cute face, your quick wit, and your energy. Keep hope in your heart and your big pay off will come when you least expect it. What fun!!!
Whst are the odds that out of every 'unclaimed mail' package the person only ordered one item? Not even one expensive item. Also, no packing slips inside give it away that they weren't actually packages that a business sent to a customer. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah this was a scam. Someone just boxed and bagged up a random assortment of cheap items they had and put fake labels on them.
The mail packages being in such good condition is a red flag to me. Usually, they're in kinda rough shape from trying to be delivered and then returned. Goes through a lot of hands, and they get banged up
I totally agree with you! Very fishy.
I thought the same thing
What's strange is v two unclaimed snowball makers. Lol.. This was a pallet leftovers
Yep, same thoughts, the majority of my normal mail from Amazon and whatever is usually in a lot worse shape after just a day or so in the mail.

Sorry lovely lady, but I did laugh a lot during this video. You are so sweet and positive. You’re my favourite.❤
I'm so happy you got a good laugh.
YIKKERS! Thanks for taking a big one for The Cheap Chick Team.
Watching you open the packages was like watching you opening birthday or Christmas gifts, until it wasn't 😂😂😂 better luck next time malissa🙄

Awe. This scam made her literally sick to her stomach.😂😮😢😢
The hospital gowns make great painting coverups , particularly if you are using a roller or painting the ceiling .
My sister uses when she dyes her hair
Someone else suggested that as well. A painting clothing protector or hair dye clothing protector are both great suggestions.👍🏼

You can use the hospital gowns for when you paint if you’re painting

Melissa many people wouldn’t be as gracious as you are with the let down.love your videos.❤
100% they wrapped some overstocks to look like lost mail. The packages are too clean. That’s so sketch.
Thank you for always having a great attitude!
I should imagine if they’re a big company they have an X-ray machine so they can see inside in case it’s anything really valuable 😊
Oh I didn't think about that.
The longer I watch, the more convinced I am that they’re a scam. Everything is in similar white bags like it’s been packaged.
if you can't identify at least 5 reasons this is 100% a scam, stay far away from this stuff.
Aw bless you, you kept smiling that lovely smile despite being disappointed 👍 those items have definitely been packaged up purely to scam.

Hi Melissa, you love surprise packages, and u got a few there today, I love my plaid flannel :~)) Love seeing Paco on the pillows🤗
I love how wholesome you are despite the disappointing lot
Girl, i still live in flannel shirts, ripped up jeans, and band t shirts!!!!!
I will say the first shake of the ice melt, that’s what I guessed, but living in NH I am familiar with that sound. Not a bad haul, but not sure you got you money’s worth, but fun anyway.
When a package goes through shipping, it has dirt over the white poly mailer. Those packages look too fresh and too clean to have ever been shipped.
I totally agree! Very fishy.
There should be writing all over those labels. Pretty sure using that priority box and not ever mailing it out could be a no no
There would be packing slips in all the parcels if it was legit,.. but chin up... it's still a great video... Loving you
Hopescope did a bunch of lost mail awhile ago and it was lost mail. People move and don’t leave a forwarding address. Mail also gets lost in the mail processing centres. I have had parcels go missing and told by my postmaster that they lose a lot in the processing centres. I bet that gets sold off.
I love how you squish the packages first. 😄
Could these items be stolen by porch pirates and they try to resell them?
Hmmm. I've seen some "suspicious" package sales where everything looked like it had been sorted through for the good stuff. I would not be surprised if they were scanned?

Melissa did the clothing even have tags on them ?
I don't believe so.
So confused...looks like half Target returns, half someone just boxed up some amazon returns...interesting indeed! I was hoping for some diamonds and gold!!
You know, this would be a great gift for a gambler. Give them a big box of "random unclaimed mail" as a present. They would probably love it.
Ya stating the obvious but 10:25 that stuff is not unopened mail. How would they have that many dollar tree and job lots items in one pile? Did it say there could be broken things? Awful. I'd at least complain and report.
Whats with all the winter stuff? The last thing you need! Lol oh well still fun to watch!
A few of the labels looked too light, more like a photo copy.
There are a lot of scammers around unfortunately. I always check the reviews.
It looks like they packaged the stuff up and sold it as mail. Mail would have more damage on the exterior package. Thanks for sharing and giving us the experience.
I think you've been well and truly scammed !
Aint nobody losing money but the buyer! They know exactly what they are selling
That makes me mad that they took your hard working money 💰.
You can't win them all. It's always a gamble.
Someone probably already said, but priority shipping boxes are free at the post office.
Considering how high shipping costs are lately, this definitely seems like it is a scam. Sure, some people don't care & ship low value items now and then, but most of the time, the general public isn't going to bother.

Those snowball makers and ice melt, and toboggan will come in handy in Florida!! lol
Wow, this was truly shameful of them. Unfortunately, people like that have no shame.

I think you may be right. Very fishy.
I checked the selling prices on these items. You did really good considering the total cost you had to pay. Alot of $10-$50 items. 🙂
I just left the post office and they said stamps are going up tomorrow to 75 cents each.Its pathetic when the mail is taking longer to get to you

At the very least, you get the mystery and we know not to buy from them. 😂
The hot hand warmers and the felt bins are from dollar tree. I’ve seen them there
Love the bird book!
My hubby works at a liquidation store and they had a lot of the same items. Tons of the ice melt stuff.
Cool stuff. I like some of those things. I would sell what i didn't want and you could probably get more than whatever you paid for them.
I was wondering why none of the packages had an invoice inside
Def not worth the price but very fun and super "Rando"! Always enjoy you no matter what!🌟
Unlucky draw this time Melissa but i guess that's the gamble. Love your shelves and cushions 😊
Hope you get a lot of views on this one to recoup some $ as an upstate NYer i knew as soon as you shook the ice melt exactly what it was
You are a comedians,I enjoy watching your videos.
Malissa, Your money maker is your cute face, your quick wit, and your energy. Keep hope in your heart and your big pay off will come when you least expect it. What fun!!!
