If someone left me a message that they received the package i sent them, should i call them back?

Question

I mailed something to a sort of business partner, and they called me and left me a message letting me know that they got it and really like it. Should I call them back?

Answer 1

If you actually sent it, then just accept the message as confirmation of receipt...no other action required or expected.

Answer 2

Is it drugs?  You can tell us.

Answer 3

Yes, I think so. I would call and say something like, "Thank you for letting me know the painting arrived safely. I hope you enjoy it! Bye, bye!" It would be a simple courtesy, a polite thing to do. They acknowledged receipt, and you simply are thanking them for letting you know the painting arrived safely. I think this falls under common courtesy, not exactly a requirement as such.
