Random Packages from China?

Hey guys anyone received random packages from China?

I received a bunch of air fresheners, at first I thought it might've been a freebie deal I signed up to but searching on here I couldn't find anything. I then decide to Google this specific type of air freshener and lo and behold the first result comes up with aliexpress. Now I did order some things from aliexpress but that was a while ago maybe a month or two and those items I've received.

Some more searching brings up a thing called 'brushing' something sellers do to boost their reviews/ratings? Now if that's the case and they only have my real name and address (I use a fake email/mobile), is there anything else I should be concerned about (besides the odd random item showing up)?

Anyone else experienced this before?

      Nope here too.

      AliExpress doesnt not waste time and money on sending random items which you have not ordered and paid for in full.

      Most probably delivered to WRONG ADDRESS

      Interesting, seems like a common thing now.

        Have you checked whether 'you' left a review?

      Don't bin it. Donate to Lifeline to resell to help others.

        I was planning to watch it first. Not sure how many Lifeline punters would be into Jodorowsky. :)

    I was delivered a BYD car. Not happy, as the fake review associated with the order was a 5 star review, when I would have only given a 4 star.

    Last couple of packages I’ve received from china, is AliExpress orders that were refunded to me for non delivery

    Like an item I ordered in 2023, was delivered last week!

    • Sammy2000 on 10/07/2024 - 14:12

      So there is hope my lost parcels will arrive still.

    • gomertose on 11/07/2024 - 14:44

      Have had similar. Refunded 3 months after purchase. Item shows up 6 months from purchase.

  • Prefab on 11/07/2024 - 10:20

    I sent my item back to the address on the package stating I never ordered.

    • CaptainSizzle on 11/07/2024 - 11:30

      you paid money for something you didn't order and didn't keep?

      • Prefab on 29/07/2024 - 09:53

        Nope. RTS no fee didn’t you know?
        And the item was crap and was just going to go into landfill. So I sent it back to go into their landfill.
