Receiving parcels i never ordered

Post by JasonNeale »

Earlier this year i received a parcel from Hong Kong with 2 mysterious gift boxes inside, today again i have received 2 exactly the same! These are empty boxes around 15cm in length. They are addressed to me but not sure why. I go out of my way to avoid buying anything from HK. Neither time has there been a return address, i found out where they posted it (KWONG WA STREET POST OFFICE). Would love to know how they got my name and address and why they are sending me these boxes at some cost to them!

Nice idea - however the recipient is always asked for their co-operation before it happens.

Just received another parcel today with a 'display case' inside. This is the third package i have received and fifth case! Someone in Hong Kong is sending me these items with surely some expense to them.

Are they addressed to your name or just address? Maybe someone has an incorrect eBay address?
