That's why I say, check and doublecheck, especially on international orders. The alternative is either stop selling to international customers ( Like the Footsore guys did for a while ) or accept a dramatic loss in sales abroad. Mind you, only 2 UK post-brexit kickstarters and both times a mispack, that's a 100% score and not really motivating to get another one.
On the plus site, after this Covid-thingy we just have to visit the UK more often for our shopping needs  ;).

Counting them out and counting them in is double-checking - and it is still possible to go wrong. Some omissions or mispacks just fail to register.

However, my point is really that no one deliberately mispacks an order because of the cost of putting it right. No one also wants an international customer to suffer extra charges because of a mistake either. Businesses take the care that time and staffing resources allow.

The classic mispack for artillery pieces is to count out the parts as one barrel, one carriage, one ammunition chest, one wheel... And not think twice about it :)
