NPCER: Amazon semi-vent

[Cicero]

I just got a box from Amazon.  I didn't order it and there is no packing slip.  The return address is just the Amazon fulfilment centre. Is there any way to figure out who sent it?

They should be able to look up orders by your address.

[Cicero]

Really? Thanks. I'll give them a call. For some reason I was thinking they wouldn't want to talk to me about it if I'm not the one who bought it.

I could be wrong, but I feel like I've had similar weird things happen before and they've been able to do that. 

I'm dying to know what was in the mystery package!

yea, they suck lately- between using the USPS to deliver things (which ends up losign about half my stuff) and not shipping stuff out on the same day...they get a big fat BOOO!

I'm just glad they don't see to use Lasership anymore (or at least not very much). They sucked SO much.

I just don't like that they're not including packing slips that list the order, what's here, what's coming.

I did a big order a few days ago of about 10 things for H. If I go look it up, I see a bunch of stuff he ordered for me (we share a prime account), and I don't want to do that. But the big order for him I know is missing stuff, and I'm not sure what or when it's coming.


would a packing slip kill them?

Well, I'm not sure on the resolution, but was there something cool in the package at least?

Duplo blocks and a Melissa and Doug toy.  It was addressed to the kid.

I'm wondering how logistically possible this is when everything I order from Amazon comes in 8 billion different boxes and the number of Prime users who get 2-day shipping. I mean, surely Amazon should find a way considering they are this behemoth of a company but I am just wondering aloud here.

Um, excuse me.  Where have you been? 

Welcome back!

Ah, so I'm guessing someone you know purchased it as a gift for your kid but also bought other stuff for themselves and just assumed your kid's package would have a packing/gift slip or something. I hope they can tell you who sent it but I'm betting they won't.
