Popular Post Tom King Posted April 11, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 A week or so ago, our coffee maker played out, and there was not one like it in stock in town, so we had to order online. The new Keurig showed up a couple of days later. Pam said that we should order a Mr. Coffee, or something like that, to have on hand as a backup. Some model of Mr. Coffee showed up today in an Amazon box. I know I didn't order it, and Pam says that she didn't order it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 As long as he’ll make coffee for you each morning and not handsome and strong like Mr. Clean, you should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendon_t Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I would definitely be getting to the bottom of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 There's just one method of payment already there. Looks like we were both right. I just checked our "orders" list, and it's not in there. Maybe Alexa sent it to herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I’ve recently received a couple surprise packages from Amazon. After calling customer service and providing some information from the shipping label, we learned that they were mistakes. One box had a duplicate shipping label for an item we did order and had already received, but inside were several Moana themed items that some little girl was probably sad hadn’t arrived. The other was a total mystery, and they couldn’t tell me who ordered it. (I’ve run into this a lot lately, since they have stopped including packing slips by default. When someone sends a gift, they have to include a gift message and write who it was from for the recipient to have any idea. Some customer service reps will “tell you without telling you” who ordered it, some will not.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikem Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 That reminds me of a similar story that I read recently. A couple, on nearly a daily basis, was receiving random items being shipped to them from Amazon. They didn't order them, and weren't being charged for the items. What is thought to be happening is it is a fake review company buying these items, enabling to put positive "I bought this" reviews on the item, to get them to show higher in Amazon's product listings.

Minnesota Steve Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 A few months back we received some sort of silicone grill pad we'd never even heard of. I couldn't find any orders it was possibly related to and had no way to return it. So we gave it to goodwill. On the other hand I ordered a charging cable for a phone, and received a replacement battery for an iphone instead. But that was tied to an order and they'd just sent the wrong part. So I was able to return it and they sent the right thing. My worst experience was one night I was using my phone and I clicked on a link from a forum posting for a set of industrial filters someone had installed on the dust collector and I just wanted to see what they were. I must have hit "buy now" because the next morning I got an email that they were processing my order. I scrambled to cancel that before it shipped as I had no use for $300 in air filters. Thank goodness the cancellation worked. So be careful looking at Hofman jointers on amazon. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 A few years ago I ordered a $30 palm ratchet and received two in the same package. I explained the situation in the "review my purchases" section or something like that, never got a response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife just brought up the other day that a woman on her cockatoo forum has an African Grey who learned how to talk to the Amazon echo and ended up reordering something without permission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
