The gameplay is characterized by a repetitive cycle of collecting and storing items for cash, which can become monotonous over time. However, players can engage in lighthearted activities like watching TV or tossing packages to alleviate the tedium.
“Gameplay - I played the game for 1 hour, and I started making progress by putting items in a box for 20 minutes to earn some cash. I piled the boxes outside the house, awaiting a van to pick them up so I can get paid.”

“Since the gameplay can be incredibly repetitive, the game offers a few ways for you to 'let out some steam', including watching some TV and simply throwing the packages around.”

The humor in the game is polarizing, with some users finding it unappealing or offensive, while others see potential for comedic moments, particularly in the context of user reviews and interactions. Overall, the humor may not resonate with everyone, leading to mixed reactions.
“I think the game could have some funny reviews here - you know, the typical Amazon review drivel that can sometimes be pretty funny - and give the seller a chance to 'bribe' his/her way to turning a negative review into a positive one, by giving a discount for subsequent purchases or by, for instance, fixing whatever mistake you did, like sending the items missing from the previous delivery.”
