I'm impressed you managed to contact Amazon by phone and speak to an actual person!

Other than that, Google 'Amazon Brushing'.

It is very easy to call someone at Amazon and speak to them if you have the correct phone number which I do

All you do is dial the number and somebody answers immediately

I had a load of vitamins and supplements delivered last week. I didn't order them. I then got a message from an ebay seller I've never dealt with asking me to return them. I changed my ebay and amazon passwords, reported the seller and when I was messaged again I blocked him.

Look up brushing scam. ETA I see that's been mentioned.

I didn't bother speaking to Amazon but I did speak to someone from ebay.

Did you Google 'Amazon brushing scam'?

I've had quite a few scam phone calls but I did not realize that people could send scam Amazon packages. I have been with Amazon for years and this is the first time this has ever happened to me.

What is worrying is how do these people get hold of your name and address

Amazon are now facilitating shipping for unconnected businesses as well.

Have you ordered from someone else? I had a mystery tracking notice today from Amazon for something I hadn't ordered. It took a bit of detective work to track down the sender but they confirmed that they use Amazon to distribute even though I bought via their own site.

This has just happened to us. But very like something we would have bought.

also to say that Amazon are one of the easiest companies to speak to a human at. @PizzaPunk
you can request a call and your phone rings within seconds. Or you call. Or you use the chat box.
I was surprised when I last neeeded to contact them
