It can be disconcerting to receive an unexpected package, or to find out that a package that is en route has been lost. If the package is mailed via UPS, you can find out where it was sent from very easily. This only requires a few moments of your time. Once you have this information, you can contact the sender to determine the location of the package, or why it was sent to you in the first place.
