Receiving packages you didn't order

What is a pillow sham?

That's what it is.
 
Reminded me of a couple funny stories while working as a FedEx Driver in Des Moines. Number of years back I'm on the East side of Des Moines. Near the little Mexico area and that hispanic supermarket. I pull in there to re-organize packages when an unmarked cop pulls up next to my truck. Stated that he wanted me to deliver a package for him, showed me his badge and said they were doing surveillance on a house and needed confirmation that the guy was there. Sure what the hell..... Needless to say, they didn't wait to apprehend him, as soon as he signed for the box he was face first on the ground.

Another time out delivering for FedEx I was approached by an undercover agent for the postal service. Come to find out, a house I delivered to on a regular basis was ordering goods with stolen credit cards. Same situation. Deliver this package, I need confirmation that the person we're looking for is living in that house. This time they didn't bum rush the guy.

Good Times
 
As long as it is addressed to you, you can keep it and you are not liable for it. This was part of my post office training when I worked for them.

FTC site even says so.

To me this goes under the heading of just because it's legal, doesn't make it right.

I'd do whatever I could to get this to the proper person or return it to the company.

Character is what you do when others aren't looking.

Step off your high horse there buddy. As someone else said, it could be that someone sent these to me. Anyway, there's no packing slip in either so no order # to reference, no # to call... nothing.
