Woman Receives Over 100 Amazon Packages She Never Ordered

A Virginia woman received more than 100 Amazon packages she didn’t order, including headlamps, glue guns and binoculars.

Cindy Smith said the boxes recently started showing up at her home and soon she had received about 1,000 headlamps, 800 glue guns and dozens of pairs of binoculars.

The boxes bore her address, but the name Lixiao Zhang, a name Smith said she had never heard before.

Amazon officials said they looked into the incident and discovered the packages were the result of vendors having packages shipped to random addresses in order to remove unsold merchandise from Amazon fulfillment centers.

An attorney said of the scheme, “You have sellers located in China, who are just picking random addresses. And then when they need to get their products out of Amazon’s warehouses, they’re just having them sent there, because it’s just cheaper for them to do so.”

Amazon said the seller’s account has been closed.
