The story
The official X (Twitter) account for “Yasu Mattari,” the children’s food bank run by comedian Yasuko in Katsushika, Tokyo, posted an update by the 13th revealing that rotten vegetables had been sent to them cash-on-delivery (COD), and asked people to “please stop sending things COD without contacting us first.” On 5ch, most commenters viewed the act of sending it COD as “nothing but harassment” in itself, but opinions split over how to read the sender’s intent — some questioned why the package was even accepted when COD deliveries can be refused, while others pointed out the vegetables might already have spoiled before they were shipped.

What people said
They've really gotten full of themselves.
The sender probably sent it COD because it was already half-rotten and inedible
That's harassment, plain and simple.
Why would anyone do something this spiteful
I just can't wrap my head around it.
so just refuse it and send it back —
use the COD fee to go buy actual vegetables instead.
The moment you accept it, you've basically agreed to the charge, so complaining afterward doesn't change anything
What were they thinking.
Or is this just the work of haters like you lot?
But reacting like this just gives more lonely attention-seekers an excuse to send more malice her way.
Normally you'd just refuse the delivery.
stuffing boxes with holey, worn-out, unwashed clothes and shipping them COD.
If a thousand paper cranes showed up COD while you were recovering from an illness, goodwill or not, that's still harassment.
Ohh~~~~
You can refuse it
If anything, actually paying for it is the weird part.
Background and Key Points of This Story
Unsolicited cash-on-delivery (COD) shipments — which stick the recipient with the bill — are a known “nuisance support” tactic previously seen targeting children’s food banks and disaster-hit areas; several replies in the thread note that COD packages can simply be refused. The thread was split between those who felt “there’s no such thing as goodwill once something’s sent COD” and those who countered that “the vegetables might not have been spoiled yet when they were shipped,” with no one willing to flatly state the sender’s intent. Yasuko’s food bank has reportedly had trouble before with an anonymous sender mailing in medaka fish — that earlier incident isn’t mentioned in the quoted article above, but it’s worth keeping in mind as context for why this kind of harassment keeps recurring.
