I spent $1,200 on lost mail packages & TRIPLED my money – I got 71 wallets & 6 sinks
IF you’ve ever wondered about that package you ordered that never arrived, it could be waiting to be unboxed on someone’s YouTube channel.
The viral trend of buying unclaimed mail and reviewing your surprise items on camera has led to some interesting hauls.
YouTuber Mia Maples spent $1,200 on unclaimed mail packages and managed to hit a goldmine of random items.
Mia introduced her video by explaining the items she purchased had been left unclaimed for so long they were shipped to a redistribution center for re-purchase.
Mia opened her first package which turned out to be an industrial sized shipment of liquor pourers.
“Who is ordering 24 of these?” the YouTuber asked.
Liquor pourers sell for about $6 each, which means Mia already made just under $150 on her first box.
Her next package included 71 wallets, which retailed at $8 a piece.
“$568 of wallets! Who was buying this many?” said the YouTube influencer.
Her third package might be the least valuable as it contained several packages of lightbulbs, with some broken in transit.

“This has to be a restaurant’s [order], right?” asked Mia as she opened a package with 24 serving dishes.
Next, Mia went on to open a large box which contained all the components for a corner bathroom sink.
“I wonder what’s the reasoning behind not claiming something like that, because that felt like a very purposeful order,” said Mia.
She then noticed five more identical boxes, meaning she had five more unassembled sinks in her haul.
Mia went on to open 60 sets of earbuds, 24 Samsung phone chargers, six children’s toys, several large food containers, and dozens of kitchen utensils.
She unboxed 120 dough scrapers which sell for $10 each, meaning she made back all her money on the one package alone.
Mia estimated the retail value of her entire haul at around $6,800.
Viewers took to the comment section to discuss Mia’s unique haul of items.

“Somebody probably already said this, but I used to work in the stockroom of a department store (Khol’s to be specific) and this is exactly how the stock is packaged for shipment to the store. So it definitely looks like you landed a pallet of lost department store stock,” wrote one user.
Another viewer suggested: “For the kitchen items you should see if there’s a soup kitchen nearby that would want them! And for the earbuds you could see if a local school could use them!”
