At least a dozen people have received a lot of stuff that I’ve ordered since Walmart started using Door Dash and other local delivery services to fulfill online orders from a store instead of shipping from a warehouse. Because those items are dropped off in Walmart bags with no name or receipt, they’d have no way of knowing who should have gotten them. The driver sometimes takes a photo, I guess to prove delivery, but they’re often worthless. I’ve seen a photo of someone else’s mailbox (house number only, so no telling what street), a close up of a door, and even a picture of someone’s leg inside a vehicle. So random people have found bags of first aid supplies, baby formula, underwear for H, toilet paper, cereal, etc. on their front porch and have no idea why. Each time I contacted Walmart and they sent a replacement.
Once I ordered baby clothes and received big girl sizes instead. Another time I ordered a Minnie Mouse top and got some mechanical droid character. That sort of thing has happened several times. Most of the mix-ups are from Amazon, but there have been a few others. Target has said to keep, toss or donate the things sent in error, I suppose because the cost of a UPS call tag is more than the item is worth to them. Amazon has required a return for things costing as little as $4.50, even when they have to send UPS to pick up.
Other times when I thought there’d been a mistake made by a store, it turned out that either H had placed the order or someone had sent a gift but there was no receipt enclosed.
I wonder how Best Buy will handle the apple watch mistake. They may have no way to determine who really did order it.
