    Over the past 5 weeks, I have received random Amazon deliveries at work, addressed to me, that I did not order. Each of the following have been individual deliveries, a few days in a row, then skip a day or two, then more arrive....
    • AAA batteries
    • Paper plates
    • Laundry detergent
    • Plug-in air freshener refills
    • Hair vitamins
    • Hair detangler spray
    • Toothpaste
    • Hair conditioner
    I've confirmed none of my cc have been used, nothing in my Amazon account showing I ordered these items...
    Barely worth returning, but now I am wondering if others have ever experienced this phenomenon?

    Go on Amazon, click on your account and click on Archived Orders. Maybe it's in there.

    Someone once broke into my Amazon account and ordered a laptop and then archived the order. I found out about it when I got the shipping notice and was able to stop it.

    My Amazon stuff arrives sometimes the same day. It will certainly be here the next day. I never go to a mall to buy stuff.

    I've heard of this but not experienced it. I think it is sellers creating fake accounts that look like real customers buying their own products shipped to random addresses so they can write customer reviews. This article talks about it (it suggests some possibility that they have your account info, but I would guess not if you aren't seeing anything on your Amazon account):

    Nada, nothing unexpected or unexplainable. My account seems to be secure at this time.

    More stuff arrived today!

    Someone may have bought you a gift on Amazon once and added your info as a "ship to". Maybe they keep ordering little things and not realizing its shipping to you and saying "where is my stuff?"

    I guess if you wanted to do some detective work, you could look ip recent reviews on those products to see if there is a common Amazon account making reviews (although they may wait a while to post reviews if this is what’s happening).

    In the old days, we'd fill out catalog request cards for "International Male" and send it to a classmate's house. Good times, back in the 80's. :)
