There&#8217;s nothing unusual about receiving a package from Amazon, but in this case, the return address wasn&#8217;t specifically from Amazon. It arrived in a white padded envelope. From the outside, it wasn&#8217;t obvious the package was from Amazon, but I recieve many packages from Amazon via third party vendors.

I would have remembered ordering this. Was it some kind of &#8220;gift&#8221; for placing an order with another company? I checked. No.<\/p>\n<p>A small slip of paper was also inside the envelope with Amazon.com and a large barcode on it. There&#8217;s an Amazon Remit to: address. A vendor return section with what appears to be information related to the item. A Shipped from address and a shipping address (my home address). Apparently, it&#8217;s an Amazon vendor doing an overstock return. My husband and I both immediately understand how this item could easily be an overstock. What we can&#8217;t understand is how my name and home address came out as the shipping address for this item.<\/p>\n<p>Since I didn&#8217;t order it, I have no way of contacting Amazon to figure out what to do about it. Amazon does a lot of things very well, but providing a way to contact them about things like this is not one of them. I just hope my home has not become the dumping ground address for stuff like this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little over a week ago, I received a package from Amazon.
