Barb_ Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 My brother just texted to ask if I sent him a book on tape, "Sh*t my Dad says." I told him no, did he send me a bottle of eucalyptus oil? Maybe the Amazon employees are slap happy and hitting the eggnog. Maybe they're overwhelmed and have given up and are just flinging random things at people. Has anyone else received an odd item in its own box that they didn't order and have no record of paying for? It's so odd that it happened to both of us this week.

Chris in VA Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 OH, so YOU got my eucalyptus oil! I'll pm you my addy and you can send it along. Was wondering where the heck it'd gotten to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Rain Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 No, but it would be fun to get something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We got a random package containing a 3 lb bag of almonds and a size small pair of Pittsburgh Steeler slippers (no one in the house can wear them). Amazon said to keep the items...or we could send them back if we wished. We ate the almonds and gave away the slippers. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy5 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Strange ... is it possible your spouse or another family member sent it to you for a Christmas present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 a week or so ago....received package addressed to a former resident of my address. she ordered it for a friend. messed up the send to. amazon struggled but finally figured out how to pay for the package to be returned to them. then 3 days later, I got a gift card refund from amazon for it. uhmm.... no.. I never ordered anything so I'm not the one who should get the refund..... and gift wasn't intended for me... all weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 We did, too. Strange items. No invoice. But, it had my order # on the box. I received all my items (it was a large order, so I was afraid that someone might have ended up w/my nice stuff when I ended up with a box of unwanted stuff.

UrbanSue Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 At Christmas two years ago we got, within a week of each other, a SanDisk memory card and an external hard drive. A nice one. Amazon told me to just keep it. It's never happened otherwise, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received all my items (it was a large order, so I was afraid that someone might have ended up w/my nice stuff when I ended up with a box of unwanted stuff. Yeah, mine had no packing slip either. That's why I was confused. I've received everything I've ordered. An extra item in a larger package I can understand. but I don't see how you can just create a rogue order.

blondeviolin Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Two years ago we got a prenatal doppler. They said to keep it. I was pregnant at the time so it was a neat bonus. My husband wondered why it couldn't have been a ginormous TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Happened last year. I got ear muffs. Amazon said to keep them. Too bad it wasn't a book I'd wanted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashfern Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I got a movie with no packing slip. Ends up it was from my sister for my Christmas gift. Don't know why there wasn't a packing slip in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
