S/O WWYD Internet shoppers - UPDATE

i would google the shipping number on the label and contact what ever delivery company pops up

I had something happen recently where I'd placed an order for something through Amazon. (2 bottles of WalMart brand fiber capsules) There was nothing when I ordered indicated they were coming from WalMart or anything, although of course I knew it was their brand. Later that same day, I find a WalMart bag containing 2 bottles of WalMart fiber capsules sitting on my doorstep. Long story short, it was my order, but there was no label, no receipt, no ANYTHING indicating how they got there or if they were even for me. It was really, really weird!

I thought I was reading a post I had forgotten I had made! I ordered Charmin from Amazon before our big winter storm and a couple days later Charmin appeared at my door in plain old plastic wrapping, so I didn't think twice about it. Days later, when I was checking on other Amazon orders that were delayed by the storm, I see that my toilet paper was delayed too. Yesterday I asked on Facebook if anyone recognized the type of label used, and a couple people told me that it was from Walmart. I'm going to contact them tomorrow. The bummer part is that FedEx has not updated on MY order since February 13, so now I'm supposed to contact them too, which is annoying. The shipping label from Walmart is white with a red strip around the edge. There is, what appears to be, a partial customer name on it.

My parents had an Amazon order delivered by Walmart too recently. Totally random. Are you sure it's not your TP?

So I have a weird but related situation.  I ordered 2 plastic bins from Walmart online a few weeks ago because they weren’t available in the store.  I arrived hone last Monday to find 2 massive (5 ft by 8ft) boxes weighing 270 lbs each blocking my garage.  

They are addressed to me, from Walmart, but instead of plastic bins, it is a POOL TABLE.  I have spent hours and days and talked to several different agents, and I still have a pool table. Too heavy to move (or even slide), outside in the weather (luckily it has not rained), blocking access to my garage.  Finally had arranged with WM for the courier to come back today. Great, I thought.

The courier comes, looks at the boxes, says “I was expecting to pick up 2 bins?” That I never received! SMH!  I am trying to do the right thing but darn it, no one seems to get that I am speaking English and just want to return a 540 lb pool table, that I never ordered!  

Anyone want a pool table? Lol. Seriously though, I am at a loss of what to do!

My MIL ordered refried beans from Amazon and they came from Sam’s Club she had no idea that was an option.

I’ve had TP and paper towels come in boxes and just in the plastic they come in but they have always had a label.

It sounds like it may have been a Walmart or instant cart order. I’ve never done either but I seem to be in the minority. I know I have seen complaints that they get misdelivered.

I would think leaving it on your porch won’t get it to the person that ordered it but someone who sees it and decides to walk off with it.

I also think it is your order. I read a story in the local paper that Amazon was using local stores for delivery, as in some cases it was cheaper for them to so that than to ship from a warehouse. I'd bring it inside, or at least into the garage.

  Ok it's kind of funny because it is not me dealing with it.  But  yeah what the heck?   You should order two more bins to see what you get!

I had an Amazon order for someone else left on my porch. I happened to be home so I immediately contacted Amazon on chat. They said leave it and the driver would come back.

5 days later still on my porch. My dh took it to kohls with another Amazon return.

I'm in the camp that this is what you ordered. My order was also delivered by walmart & I know I didn't order from a 3rd party seller.

I ordered a $200 mini projector from Amazon. It was delivered by USPS on a Sunday, only they put it in my next door neighbor’s unlocked mailbox. We have a locking mailbox and it wouldn’t fit in the slot, and I’m sure the Surepost delivery person just didn’t want to have to get out of their vehicle to put it on my own front porch. 🤬

It was a good thing that Amazon notified me when it was supposedly delivered (and it said that it was “left in the residence’s mailbox”), and also that it was on a day when mail wouldn’t normally be expected so I was able to go and retrieve it myself instead of having to wait until my neighbors were around to get my package back. It was also a good thing that someone wasn’t driving along behind the mail vehicle stealing stuff out of mailboxes and off porches, which is something that has been increasing in my area—which is why we have a locking mailbox in the first place!

To answer the original question, if I could tell from the label that the package wasn’t meant for me, I would try to track down where it was supposed to go. We happen to have a list of the names and addresses of all of our neighbors from when we moved here, so I would probably reference that list first to see if there was an obvious match. If not, I would probably delivery service and let them know they left something at my house that didn’t belong here so they could send someone out to come get it.

Amazon has told me to keep a couple of items when I've tried to return packages that didn't belong to me. I was thinking that it was better that you found it at your door and not adorning your trees.

If you ordered toilet paper and toilet paper was delivered I'm unsure why you'd wonder whether it was yours, no matter how it was shipped. I would have spent zero minutes on this other than to bring it inside.

You could donate the pool table somewhere.
