And they are getting bigger and bigger,

every week for 4 months now

first time I thought it was mistake, put up a note on building door saying “KATE J, come to flat 1 get parcel”

this lady showed up, apologised

second time it happened, I put up a sign again, she apologised and put a 10 pound note in my hand, said this is for bothering you, I insist! and walked off

third time it happened, I put up note again. this woman never showed up, I returned parcel to post office

since then I’ve been getting her parcels like ever week and they are getting bigger and bigger.

this has been going on for 4 months now

I keep refusing to take them (sometimes they just leave on my doorstep and i take them to post office to return) but I am wondering what is this?

Just keep refusing them.
The person ordering them presumably will get fed up they aren't recieving their parcels.

so their name, my address

I'm sure I have read somewhere that this is a scam.

@Jennajenjen do they have your name on?
Ask to check the name on the parcel before you sign or accept.
If it's not for anyone in your household refuse them.
For when you're not in put a sign on your door that you will only accept parcels for your names and under no circumstances should any in other names be left at your door.

That must be really annoying, but why do you keep taking them in ?.
You could leave a note on your door for the delivery person.
I hope it gets sorted though.

it was our address but someone else’s name

we took them because we often order stuff online and thought it was for us

first one me, second time and third time someone who was home (dh, ds) took them thinking I ordered it without looking at name
