To think this is weird as fuck? It’s a mystery!

Postwoman has just been. ASOS delivery to my address. ‘Oh fuck’ I think, ‘my return must have been rejected’.

Nope.

I have been sent a pack of three T-shirts 6 sizes too big for me. They are in ASOS packaging but come from M&S and say ‘Ciao’, ‘Bonjour’ and ‘Happiness’ on them.

No record of an order on the app so I haven’t accidentally done it in my sleep, nor have the kids accidentally done it. Customer service can’t/won’t tell me where they came from. I don’t have friends who are in the habit of sending me random stuff.

I just don’t understand!! Obviously my username is tongue in cheek, I’m assuming it’s probably an innocuous error but still, WTF?

I once had a Tommy Hillfiger jacket thrown over my back gate about 30 years ago. It was from Freemans Catalogue. I never ordered it but I was to my address. I still have that jacket, it's now vintage. I love it.

We're the tshirts in fresh packaging or do they look second hand? Was the packaging fresh or again second hand

Sounds more like vinted than Asos if its M&S in Asos packaging, have you ordered anything on vinted or similar?

Yep amazon are forever mixing me up with the lady on the next street down... our addresses aren't even the same (its like 12 North Street vs. 12 South Terrace).

We use to also get some post mixed up with another house with the same street name but in the next town over (so like 12 North Street, Ludlowvs 12 North Street, Elmfield).

We also got a MASSIVE industrial delivery recently where someone must have mistyped their postcode (turned out it was a business whos postcode was only 1 number off ours) and then auto filled with just the unit number which was our house number. Delivery driver just took it straight back for us.

It’s a reviewing scam. Tell the delivery company and they will put a stop on any other parcels coming your way.

Have you ordered from Vinted or eBay? Maybe a seller has got the postage labels mixed up so you've received someone else's order.

I once got a delivery from ASOS which contained couple of dresses I ordered and three very skimpy, frilly g strings, three sizes too small.

Either they were trying to tell me something or it was a packaging error.

I once had Tesco direct ( remember them ) knock on my door with a parcel for me with my name and address on it.
I knew I hadn't ordered anything from them so I sent them away with the parcel.
My husband, who was away at the time, phoned me later to ask me if I was pleased with my new laptop.
Er....😬

My Good Lady and I returned home one day to find £300 worth of women's clothing in a wide range of sizes in a parcel on our doorstep. The short form story is that the vendor, a catalogue company, had granted a credit account in my name (so unusual that it is unique in UK - not foreign but simply unusual name with unusual name) to someone who had used my name, address and date of birth as proof of identity

we had a parcel delivered to my work address (a tennis club) but addressed to customer name (not ours). We had a child booked in for lessons with the same surname, so I contacted mum & parcel was hers.
The odd thing was child’s lessons were at a different club, mum didn’t know the address the parcel was delivered to & had never been there. It was all quite odd.

...Sorry, slipped finger! The account was for my address but they had tried to change the delivery address after ordering but left it too late and the fraudulent order was delivered to my home. It shook me that a reputable company would grant a credit account to an individual with only name, address and DoB as personal details. All of these are in the public domain if you know where to look. I had my credit and debit cards cancelled and set up an Experian credit history check. The vendors had to pursue the criminals through the new address - probably phony. They got their clothes back but it was only luck that they didn't lose their money.

I think so. See here: https://www.bbb.org/article/news-releases/20509-brushing-scam-indicates-a-serious-problem-for-victims

Did you sign for it? With your real signature?

If you have signed for it with your real signature.
Scammers now have your name and address confirmed with your real signature

This (sort of) happened to us. DH had ordered a shirt from ASOS. Shortly after it arrived, another ASOS parcel turned up addressed to him. It contained 3 size 10 body con type dresses.

Now, either he has a whole secret life which I'm unaware of or somebody somewhere made an error!

Anyway, nothing happened. ASOS weren't interested, DH's possible secret life remained secret and I didn't magically shrink to a size 10 so we sold them on eBay.

I don't think I've signed for any deliveries since 2020.

You ordered anything from vinted recently? Inpost mix up?

Sister had this happen to her with another company. She told the company what had happened and they just told her to keep it, and they’d send a new order out to whoever was supposed to get it. She ended up giving the items to a neighbor as they weren’t her size

I once got an extra jumper from prettylittlething and kept it

Accidental Vinted parcel in reused asos packaging?

I have, many times. But never use my real signature @SoupDragon

Yup!

I reckon it's either a demonic presence who has passed through to this world via a firey portal from the bowels of hell, and is now trapped in purgetory and is trying to send you a cryptic message to help them open the portal back so their demonic soul may pass back through into the ether.

Or it's a delivery error.

I once received a parcel with a Wonder Woman outfit inside. Via Amazon but no message and no clue as to who had sent.
I was eventually able to work out that it was from a friend in Australia who was impressed at my life juggling skills - work, elderly parents, school age kids, voluntary work- and decided I needed a costume to match.
