Box from Amazon addressed to TPA3
Has anyone ever got such a box?
Now to figure out what to do with it.... don't plan on opening it. |
Mistake!

How in the world did it end up at your door? Is your name or address anywhere on it? |
I do not remember the details, but I recall some type of scam with boxes delivered to random people so the sender could generate glowing reviews of products.

That happens more than people think. If a product is about to be discontinued by Amazon for lack of sales, the seller might buy a thousand units of his own product and ship to a random address. I know of a person that received 2,000 can openers. They called Amazon, it was not a mistake. Someone (likely the seller) paid for them and happen to pick her address for delivery. She gave them to the local food bank. In some cases it’s cheaper for a seller to give away a few thousand items than to lose Amazon as a point of sale.
Personally I received an Amazon package (to my name and address) that I never ordered, a single item – a bed spread for a twin bed. I called Amazon for instructions. They told me to keep it. I recall giving it to a neighbor. All I have is couple kings, a twin spread would look more ridiculous than what I have now. |
This is perhaps a brushing scam?

Sure it’s not yours? No pending orders from Amazon?
I find it hard to believe that an Amazon driver just decided to drop it off at your house. Perhaps a label fell off or is being overlooked. |

That doesn't explain why it was sent to the OP, but no - it wouldn't be the OP's order. |

Looking at the wrong label?
Look at most recent Amazon orders that were delivered. Did you get them all? |

On a related topic, the banks should require their merchants, especially restaurants, to process offline credit card transactions in the presence of the customer. Why don't they do these things??? |
