@Giles happened to me in the past and I did two things:
-
If you can contact the shipper and let them know you have received a shipment in error and ask what they would like you to do.
-
Contacted the local authorities to see if it was some kind of scam. (The police were the ones who informed me of step one). In my case it was (still don’t know how the scam worked) and I had multiple deliveries sent to me from various vendors.
I ended up sending almost everything back and a couple of the senders told me just to keep them as it would cost them too much to return.
Edit: …nothing in the box as to say who sent it?

@Giles We had similar happening to us for a while, random cheap plastic shit was turning up, addressed to Mrs H. Her details must've been on a data leak or something. Anyway, there's apparently a scam where people selling overpriced tat on Amazon generate a fake order for you, then send you something cheap. But the point is to generate an 'order' within Amazon's systems that allows them to write a verified review for the overpriced item.
But you say that this is thousands of £ worth which is weird. I'd be on the lookout for any calls claiming that you owe them money, but it'll cost you to get out of the contract for the thing you didn't order, maybe it could be a new version of the refund scam where they actually send something out to make it sound more believeable.

@Tago-Mago I don’t know, but he could make a killing selling it to IH forum members and the local community.

@Tago-Mago Shhh! Don't reveal the secrets of the lawyer scam!

@Giles Which shipping company brought it to your door? They will know from the tracking number who sent it. They may not disclose it to you, but probably can contact the sender. You could also try to run the tracking number through parcelsapp, maybe that gives you more information on the parcel's origin.
