For example,\u00a0the United States Postal Service (USPS) usually keeps unclaimed\u00a0parcels up to 90 days. During this period, the buyer can pick it\u00a0up or arrange another delivery attempt. Once the holding period\u00a0expires, the package moves on to the next step, which could mean\u00a0returning to the sender or forwarding the products to another\u00a0destination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-36917-214 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-icon-36917-215 bde-icon\">\n\n    \n            <div class=\"bde-icon-icon breakdance-icon-atom\" >\n    \n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\"><!--!

While auctions, reselling, and donations help\u00a0reduce waste caused by the returns, the number of unclaimed parcels\u00a0still grows yearly.<\/p><p class=\"pb-8 indent-8\">This highlights the importance of responsible shopping, where we can\u00a0do our part to reduce the number of unclaimed packages.
