"This is the weirdest part of the story for me. Does anyone else get boxes of chopsticks in their mail so regularly that they instinctively treat it as junk mail?"
Actually, every two months or so we will receive an amazon package with some item that we never ordered and is not in our purchase queue, etc. Something we never even looked at.
I used to think this was just a mistaken fulfillment, etc., but now I think it's intentional. I think vendors are mining purchase history to determine likely new customers for item X and then sending a "mistaken" shipment to introduce the product.
I have no evidence to back up that conclusion.
- ue_ 10y agoIf you don't already know, you should be really careful about this. It's something which scammers do once they've got hold of your card; websites often require you to purchase something shipped to the billing address already on your card before changing the address.
