Excuse my ignorance of this product.
But considering watts are an expression of power quantified...
I'm at a loss as to what the difference between power and watts mode could be.
Considering they're synonyms.
Could you please explain?

Sorry in advance that this is so long, but I've got a real mystery on my hands, and I'd like any/all input anyone can provide to hopefully help me figure this out.
A package was delivered by USPS today, Sunday @ 2:17PM according to Tracking info. Didn't know it was there until about 6PM. Had my full name and billing addy on it. Was a bubble envelope, with what sort of felt like a DVD box inside...had a Lexington, KY return addy on it.
I knew it wasn't vape mail I'd maybe forgotten I'd ordered, but I haven't ordered anything else recently.
Just remembered about an hour ago that I hadn't opened it, so I did. Was a small box with 2 items in it that I have no use for, wouldn't have ever ordered, and definitely didn't pay for! There was no packing slip of any kind in the bubble envelope nor in the little box.
First thing I thought was...well, maybe 1 of my CC got hacked, and to cover their butts, someone had these things sent to me at my billing addy of record, but had more expensive things sent to a different addy. Called my CC company and asked about both of my accounts. Nope...no unusual activity nor transactions. So Whew...at least that was good.
Did a Google search for the 1 word company/brand name on the Return Addy on the bubble envelope, and got many results...most of which just matched the 2 products in the box. There was NO company/corporation with that name though...in Lexington, KY.
I then searched by the address only, and it popped up that it's an Amazon Fulfillment Center there. I haven't ordered anything from Amazon since about 2009!
So:
Why did I receive these items that I never ordered or paid for? I know for certain no relative sent them to me, nor any of my friends.
How/why did Amazon "pull up" my full name & mailing addy, and associate it with someone else's order evidently, to ship these items to me instead?
Any ideas? Anyone ever had this happen to them before?
If they were vaping items, I probably wouldn't be so surprised, or if they were from a company I regularly deal with, because I order a lot online. But they aren't vape related at all, and I don't even GO on Amazon.com any more!
ETA: Forgot 1 other odd thing - Return addy was Lexington, KY, but the very first entry in USPS tracking activity...shows the package was picked up by the Shipping Partner in Chattanooga, TN???

Knowing what the items were might help... pm if necessary... I often get promotional samples in the mail...Sorry in advance that this is so long, but I've got a real mystery on my hands, and I'd like any/all input anyone can provide to hopefully help me figure this out.

Brought it in the house and just put it aside until about an hour ago. Remembered I hadn't opened it, so I did. It contained a fairly flat box with 2 items in it that I have no use for, wouldn't have ever ordered, and definitely didn't pay for! There was no packing slip of any kind in the bubble envelope nor in the little box.

I would contact Amazon tommorow and let them do the sleuthing, and send you a prepaid package to send them (items) back!
Items are:
Linholl Li GS04 huawei honor8 black 2PC
Anti-Scratch Shatterproof Glass Screen Protectors
Linholl Li GS04 huawei honor8 black 2PC
Anti-Scratch Shatterproof Glass Screen Protectors
Yes, I agree, but how? I could understand it, if I'd ordered something from them and just received the wrong items. But... I haven't ordered anything from Amazon in more than 8 years (was Jan. 2009 last order). How did MY full name and addy from back then...get associated with someone else's order...most likely placed online just last week?
I mean...when I place any order online, it asks right there on the Checkout page for my full name and billing addy. Aren't we filling that out under the assumption that it is THEN used for the mailing/shipping label?
Probably a goof in Amazon's order fulfillment process... a shift of one record in a database...

Well that certainly doesn't make me feel like my info that's still in their database is very secure then!! If it was my name and addy this time...what's to say it couldn't be my, or anyone else's...phone number, CC info., etc. that gets associated with the wrong person's account another time and another, etc.? I'm not happy about this at all, and will definitely be contacting Amazon this AM.
ETA: Thanks for the help, Shawn. I appreciate it! Didn't mean to come off like I was "killing the messenger" so to speak. Sorry if I did.

Nah... sit back, kiddies, and let Mr. Shawn tell you a strange story.
The Wife and I visited New Orleans back in May. Lovely place. We stayed in a gorgeous hotel in the French Quarter, and ate WAY more than we shoul have... crawfish boil, oysters, blue crab, jambalaya, johnnycakes... Oooooh oui, I guarantee! Not all was perfect in NOLA land, though. There are no vape shops in the French Quarter. Well, no vape shops that don't specialize in... um... er... alternative vapors and glassware, shall we say. Fortunately, I have a friend in Google, and located a vape shop about 1 mile away, and we decided to walk there, and take the trolley car back. NOLA is such a bizarre city... especially in the edges of the French Quarter. Victorian architecture butts its head against concrete and chrome and glass. People in fancy dress are stepping over passed out (perhaps just sleeping) homeless (?) on the street. Street hustlers vie for time opposite street performers. But, I digress... as we were walking and taking it all in, we passed out of the French Quarter, and The Wife's phone began playing the theme to The Twilight Zone. I kind of ignored it... her phone sounds off with alarms and chimes and buzzes all the time... they correspond with her crazy hectic work schedule. She, on the other hand, is freaking... juggling the phone all over the place as she tries to silence it. I asked her what meetig that alarm was for, and she looks at me, wide eyed...
"I don't even have that tone on my phone."
Ah, but we got a good laugh out of it. There was nothing at the vape shop, unfortunately, so we rode to trolley back to the hotel. Nice ride. Noisy, jerky, kinda smelly, but it had a feeling of authenticity.

I'm quite sure their order fulfillment database and their billing database are very separate lol
Oh, and I am wounded... cut to the quick, I tell ya...

Two questions about your story - Have either of you, or any phone tech., ever been able to make your wife's phone play that same Twilight Zone theme since that happened? Or have you even tried to get it to? I know it would drive me nuts, and I'd have to!
Nope... no ringtone, no music app, no alarm tone, no known website.
And, hey, who is this guy in the White House? Bernie won, right?
