We found this vending machine by chance, but did not get anything from it. A few other people did though and it was only Temu/Shein shit.
There was a text on the machine, saying the packages were undelivereable. No idea about the legality of this 😅

That’s such a good idea. And if it’s crap you can forward to its rightful owner.

I hope they start doing this is Bavaria. The amount of unclaimed packages in my local Deutsch-post (which is a little gift shop in this tiny town i live) is overwhelming the merchants. It keeps piling up and they’re mostly more than 90days unclaimed.

All packages will have been checked first, they have to be.

What were the prices?

I randomly were there recently as well. It’s on the RAW-area. It’s 15€ per package and you can choose your slot. A big crowd gathered around it and after I came back 1-2 hours later, the machine was empty. I wouldn’t do it, because you end up with thrash you don’t need, but I guess it’s a funny idea.

if it can’t be delievered, it goes back to the person who sent it.

This is a common scam, at least in the neighboring Poland. Whenever there’s a city fair going on there are scammers who set up stalls with mystery “undelivered/returned packages”. In reality this is usually cheap stuff from aliexpress (never worth more than ~50% of the asking price) wrapped in cardboard and/or stretch foil by the perpetrators with fake shipping labels slapped on to create an illusion of real parcels.
Here we can see that somebody was industrious enough to just forgo of the stall and let the machine do the dirty work. Bonus points for not having to deal with outraged customers at all.

I don’t understand how this is legal. Is there no secrecy of correspondence in Germany?
