Free Backpacks!

A couple of months ago, a couple of packages sent by USPS showed up on my porch. Kind of surprising, since I hadn't ordered anything. They were marked "return to sender" and the sender address was mine, but with a name I'd never seen before. Both contained brand new backpacks, both of which seemed rather decent. Not needing a backpack, but being somebody who never throws anything away, I chucked them in the basement and didn't give the matter any additional thought.

So yesterday, there were two more packages on my porch, again marked "return to sender," from my address, and again with the name of person whom I don't know and certainly doesn't live in my house. I've been called many things over the years, but never Robert Gallagher. It then occurred to me that some seller on Amazon or similar site must be fraudulently using my address, but actually shipping things to customers, and if the items aren't addressed properly, they come to me. At least that's all I can come up with that makes any sense. Perhaps I should go into business selling this clown's mis-delivered shit. Frazod's Wayward Backpacks could be a real financial boon! Assuming I get more of them.

Has anything like this ever happened to anybody here? Should I take it up with the local post office? It doesn't really seem like anything to be concerned about, but it certainly is strange.

My cousin Kelly had this happen about 4-5 times over a few months. Tried returning 20 times with no luck so she kept the stuff that was sent.

I had that happen too. I received many LED light strips, like ones I had ordered before.
The address and name was mine. But these were returns and should have gone somewhere else.

They run about 90 each. So I got Amazon to talk to the seller and I lit up my house. 4 years or so later, still being used.

Google that name with your address and see if you can find out where they are coming from...

Yeah, since I'm the returnee, there's not much I can do. And obviously the original addresses are bogus.

My association does have an annual garage sale day, so I guess I can sell these things for $10 a piece. That'll buy a meal for two at a cheap restaurant, assuming prices don't go up any higher over the summer.

Or you could take them to a local school to be given out to some needy kid.

I tried Robert Gallagher and my city on Google. Came up with one guy who has a completely different address, and another guy who died four years ago. I don't think it's either of them. I did a similar search with the previous name, which I don't remember, outside of it being really uncommon. All I came up with that time was some lawyer in Quebec.

I even tried to return my items....I came up and the place to return my own items.

So-
a. these companies do this to keep their stuff out there
b. Some dumbass mixes up the names for returns.


Thinking A.

Or you could steal a couple from a school and you'll have twice as many.
