So, here's a bizarre story: last week, on a whim, I decided to buy some glucose tablets, which I ordered on Amazon because pandemic. They were meant to arrive on Tuesday, but it's Thursday now and still they're not here. So I checked the delivery status on Amazon.

Amazon says they've been delivered to the mailbox, which I've checked. No tablets. I try to find a way to report the error to Amazon, but there's no visible mechanism for reporting "you said I've got it but I don't". And then, just now, I got a text from my mother in Australia.

Mum asks if I've sent her a bunch of gummies, or is she being scammed? I FaceTime her. Apparently she has received AN ENTIRE CARDBOARD PALLET of what would seem to be my glucose tablets, or something very similar. (She's out right now and will send me a pic later.)

The receipt for these gummies/tablets lists the price at nearly $400. The bottle I ordered, including tax and shipping, is about $6, which is - thankfully - all that I seem to have been charged. But I've also double-checked my order: I definitely had them sent TO ME, IN THE US.

So how, then, has a *very incorrect version* of my order seemingly ended up in AUSTRALIA with my mother? All I can think is that somehow, Amazon's third party seller or Amazon itself is able to see MY ENTIRE FUCKING ADDRESS BOOK and has, for unknown reasons, cocked this up.

Granted, I haven't yet seen a picture of what mum has received, so it's possible this is all some bizarre coincidence, her receiving tablets/gummies she in no way ordered at the same time I fail to receive tablets that I DID order. But right now it feels Very Odd Indeed.

Will update when I have more details, but for now: What The Fuck, Amazon??

Replying to @fozmeadows
I don't suppose you & your mother have very similar names? My roommate and I are both Emily B., and GAP Card/Synchrony Bank once merged our rewards points accounts, and she got sent all my points. (They couldn't figure out how to undo it, either; I had to close my account.)

Nope! Not remotely similar in any way.
