For being upset

I sent my friend a package for Christmas and it was marked as unable to deliver and taken to a pickup location. Pickup location is 10 minutes from where she lives.

I messaged her several times that she needs to pick it up please or it will be sent back to the warehouse. She apologized but said she has been too busy, that she will try. It's gone back to the warehouse after 2 weeks.

Oh well, her loss and you’ll get a refund. She obviously doesn’t care much about your friendship. At least now you know.

Who says she doesnt care about the friendship?

The OP sat in the comfort of her own home snd ordered a parcel gift to her friend which then obligated the friend to find time (in the run up to Christmas) and expense to travel to collect it, and then the OP gets the thanks and good feels for doing somehing nice when it was actually pretty lazy and puts the work and effort on to the receiver.

I would be disappointed. Was the pick up location very far/difficult for her?

She said it wasn't far away, a 10 minute walk in her first message

The refund will come to you, so no harm done really. But it is annoying!
