For some time now, we've been seeing a worrying increase in so-called "lost parcel" or NPAI (N'habite Pas à l'Adresse Indiquée) scams. A number of our business customers have told us that they have been canvassed by unscrupulous companies (We won't mention any names in this article, but this could change in the next one if these practices continue.) by telephone, facebook, instagram,... offering them very low-priced packages, supposedly made up of unclaimed parcels, opened by customs, or even from so-called unsold items from major retailers or vinted.
🎯 Why should you be wary?
Here are a few key points to bear in mind:
-
❗ Abnormally low prices: if the prices are too good to be true, they often are.
-
❗ Not all parcels are genuine NPAIs: some are actually unsold stock, lots bought on Mercandi, or parcels repackaged or repackaged without traceability.
-
❗ Customs parcels" are an invention: customs do not resell parcels to the general public. It's a myth created to sell dreams... and worthless parcels.
-
❗ A company that contacts everyone indiscriminately often has no solid customer portfolio. Ask yourself: why can't they build loyalty?
- ❗ Adds furniture, coffee tables, bedsprings, etc. to pallets to make them heavier.
- ❗Asks you to pay in cash, and if you're audited tomorrow
how are you going to justify the provenance and traceability?
