Apparently,they must be sharing distribution/fullfillment centers.
I ordered an electric heater from a small online catalog company,it came in a Walmart box with Walmart paperwork.

I've had this happen. I called them and they traced the item and who placed the order. It wasnt me but it was sent to me. The inexpensive item, not worth the postage to send it back. They told me to just keep it.

We received 2 boxes from Amazon 3 days apart last December. First box about 10"X10"X20" stuffed with bite sized Kit Kat bars. Second box about 15"x15"X 24" stuffed a variety of individual sized bags of Fruit Lay chips. Sent from 2 separate locations. Don't know who sent them.

Default I was sent pens from Walmart

A pack of pens just showed up at my door from Walmart. I called them and they told me that it was a "gift" and wouldn't tell me who it was from. I did verify that the item wasn't billed to my address and checked my checking and credit card accounts and found no transactions. Does anyone know why this happened?

Have you been taking other people's pens? Maybe it was a passive aggressive way to get you to stop. Otherwise, I'm not really sure how a bunch of internet strangers would-be able to tell you why someone gifted you with pens from Walmart

My daughter had this happen to her today, she got home after work and there was a Walmart box at the front door, she took it in and opened it and it was a child's art set. She called to tell me about it and I started looking online.
Shes going to talk to the neighbors and call the local sheriffs office tomorrow.

Mayvenne ..... This is what I was going to mention....some fraudsters do use an address - not their own - so that they can pick the package up without it pointing back at them. This is very common in some areas...like large cities.

My Amazon account got hacked and high priced sneakers going to a home nearby. Then some junk jewelry showed up at my home. Contacted Amazon and they fixed the account but didn’t want to send police to the address for all the tennis shoes. They said hackers send stuff to your house to see if you will not report it or not so they can carry on.
