A South Carolina woman was shocked when she opened up a package she received in the mail to find it contained a large bag of illegal drugs.
The Rock Hill woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, said she met her mail carrier outside her home expecting to receive the yoga mat she had ordered.
Instead, the woman was handed a heavy box and a bag of pills, which had spilled out of the package, ABC reports .

According to WSOCTV, the box contained roughly 20,000 oxycodone pills worth an estimated $400,000.
The woman said she immediately called police.
York County drug agents told the outlet that the box was shipped from Newport Beach, California.
Drug unit commander Marvin Brown said that the drugs are usually shipped to « vacant apartments [and] homes where people have gone to work for the day. »

He said the pickup person waits outside the home to accept the package.
Brown said he thinks whoever mailed the box most likely meant to send it to the woman’s old address because no one is living there.
However, the street was misspelled on the package so the post office found the woman’s current address and forwarded it to her.
« The dealers weren’t as intelligent as they thought they were, » he said.
