Wow. A Double Post to DP. I I I I made misteak.....
I don't know if this is relevant, but I have ordered stuff off eBay and when I got the package it was from Amazon. I think it is just people having the item drop shipped from Amazon. Do you order on eBay? Just throwing out ideas here.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???
Well it looks like we might get a little wind today. Looking to go right over the top of me.
The storm itself won't be much more than an afternoon thunderstorm, the Only thing I worry about with one like this is if it spawns a tornado, I Do Not Like Tornado's.
Crazy windy right now. Gloomy, rainy, windy. We do need the rain though.

Well stay safe! ... Tornados are wicked.

I got a package a few weeks ago. It was a fancy knee brace. There was no invoice or any other paperwork. The only clue was it came in an Amazon box. I looked up the item on Amazon and found it. I had never ordered anything from the company selling the item, or the manufacturer. It wasn't a Fulfilled by Amazon item.
So I contacted Amazon. Got a reply saying it was an error. Somehow it got sent to me instead of the person who ordered it. They said they would take action to ensure it never happened to their customers again. And I got to keep the knee brace, which was a $50 item.
It was a little worrying that my name and address got into the system with a company I never did business with. I assume Amazon sent them my address in error, so the mistake was on the Amazon side.
I think i can help you.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.

About the first location Chattanooga in the chain of post offices. Not all post offices scan in items the way they should.
Now the parcel. Is it possible you put those items in your wish list and a friend or family member bought them for you?
Last thing Amazon soneyimes sends items to customers. I still have a French Press, Coffee Cup, and baseball cap Amazon sent to me.
I refuse to be a walking advertisement for any company.
Most houses are concrete block and stucco down here. The vulnerable area is the roof.
While we were building, hurricane Matthew came up the coast. We had some pretty good winds from that and the roof held up even without shingles on it yet. It did have the stuff that goes on the plywood, under the shingles and it all held up well.
New houses down here have vigorous codes since we are more vulnerable to hurricanes.
I'm sitting out back under our covered patio just watching the weather.
A hurricane you know when it's coming, From what I see on the news here, I'd worry more about the sink holes. Just like our earthquakes, you never know.
Stay safe all in FL. This storm hit my area yesterday. High winds and rain all day. We got close to 4" of rain in two days!
"Emily" is bring the same crazy weather down here too (pouring down, flooding roadway for the moment) since "We're are on the right-side of the tropical storm. It's just not as heavy or strong right now as they are reporting on the news . . . Hope all STAY SAFE here in Florida, especially those in Tampa Bay area where the center is (That means you too @classwife ) . . . NOW - If it comes around & hits Ya' - Just Remember to HANG ON . . .

Dang! Be safe all you Floridians!!
This happened to me also about 3 weeks ago. And I got a knee brace also, nothing that fancy - it was the flexible kind. Except mine came in a plain brown envelope with only a scant Lexington,KY address on it. Nothing was in the package except the knee brace. Almost forgot about it until @JCinFLA posted.
Well at least now I know where it came from and what happened. Thanks to all that posted.
I found out everyone I work with had their identify data hacked. So, I've been working all morning trying to find out what I need to do. Already, my boss has had 3 people trying to get credit cards in her name.
Where is Arnold when you need him?
