I mailed a package to Russia about 5 years ago. Recipient had to pay a bribe to get it.

He probably just wanted to avoid paying customs duty.

In India postmen also can gauge the contents of the letter or document. For example, they can recognize US college acceptance letters for students trying for further studies. Many of them will then ask for gifts for delivering the good news.
