“I start shaking when I see packages at my door, they keep coming, and it just won’t stop,” said Nitu, who lives in Langley, British Columbia. Her name and address are written on the packages.
She’s not the only one receiving unwanted packages
Couriers often abandoned those packages without giving her an opportunity to refuse them, she told CBC, and this has resulted in more than CA$300 in COD fees from UPS. According to CBC, Nitu pasted a sign on her door that reads, “All COD shipments for Anca Nitu will be refused.”
Nitu told CBC that she is refusing to pay these charges and is contesting them with UPS: “They are completely unreasonable. I tried to explain the situation and they weren’t nice, to put it mildly,” she said. She’s not the only one receiving unwanted packages. Several people have claimed they received Amazon packages they never ordered, back in 2018, Business Insider previously reported.
There are various theories for the mysterious deliveries
A Virginia woman was similarly inundated with over 100 Amazon packages she did not order containing 1,000 headlamps and 800 glue guns. local broadcaster WUSA reported in July.
There are various theories for these mysterious deliveries. It could be a scam to manipulate Amazon’s rating system, with sellers using fake accounts to ship items to random addresses and then write positive reviews themselves. Alternatively, sellers could offload unsold goods to avoid storage fees.
