wow that is so much more intersting then anything i get. Maybe someone misunderstood and sent the drone instead of swiffer by drone. I'm sure that's it.
Oh, I mean it was intended for my address. It was delivered correctly. It just isn't mine.

Smacks forehead.

That explains the random people getting out of hoopties handing me amazon packages at my door.

I have received two things that I did not order, but clearly had my name and address on them. Even calling Amazon resulted in never figuring it out and me getting to keep the items. Both were from unmarked Amazon delivery vehicles and I've been so confused!
Anything Amazon incorrectly delivers to you, you get to keep. They make so much money, the hassle of returning it isn't worth it for them. This has resulted in people getting some pretty amazing things they never had to pay for. We got a good, expensive router one time because of it. I always hope for those happy accidents. :D

I have all my orders shipped to my work address, so if something shows up at my house it was sent as a gift or from the mystery void. The best thing I got was a coffee grinder, lol. I ended up giving it away as I already had one I loved.

With this Gif on page 48 it took the page 2 minutes to load all the way here.:angry: it's like the size of an android app
This is a good point. But you should probably remove it from your quote then.

same gig for hotels if you're a housekeeper. if people leave their stuff behind after a certain wait period and they dont claim it. it's yours. like if you get the chance to work in a hotels athletes use. NBA players will buy playstations or xboxs just for that one road trip, play them and leave them in the room.

Weird. Jeff Bezos is going to deliver it in person?
I'll try to look around for the article , but amazon is going to get into the delivery in a bigger way. Didn't sound good for the drivers/workers though.

When I was a housekeeper at a super low budget chain hotel I walked into a room and there was a Hitler beach towel. A legit, Third Reich beach towel. I was kinda annoyed they didn't leave it behind, had a whole burning ceremony planned

I used to work for a direct marketing company. Our sales people were shady.:( I was in customer service. We had to try and convince people to return things that were sent without being ordered. By law, you are under no obligation to return something that was sent to you in error. It can sometimes expedite a refund but, they can't make you pay for it. I always try to let people know that, now that I know. Saves a lot of people a bit of grief. :)
