then post it back to the residence? Sorry but I have to be missing something here. Maybe just overthinking it bud tbh.

Quite possibly.

Probably that Presbyterian/Puritan thing about not keeping what might be somebody's property.

Honestly, if, after an honest effort to find out if it is an item intended for someone else, I guess I could consider it "abandoned" and dispose it myself.

Might need to drop by the USPS with a letter for the UK.

I don't know any companies I might have ordered from that are based in that part of the UK...

Edit: I assume that "Harrogate" is a municipal type geographic feature?

Gracias,

Glenn

Might end up that way.

It is a cool item but not something I was seriously expanding (or even keeping) in my downsizing effort. Make that a Very Cool item.

Time to write a letter to an address in the UK, I guess...

Gracias,

Glenn

Not something that you'd forgotten you'd ordered? I forget I already have stuff!

Harrogate is a Town mate. Do you have the town and postcode? (Zip) you'll get the general addres from a Google search. Some codes are even house specific.

If its a business you can then google them. To be honest with an address you may even be able to find a tel number. Let me know if you need a hand from this side of the pond but am at work til tomorrow now.

What kind of business wouldn't include any kind of company name, stamp, sticker or invoice in their shipments, especially in international orders? My random guess would be something like an eBay power seller sending out multiple items and mixing them up during packaging. (Obviously doesn't have to be eBay in particular.) Just a guess, though...

Nice connundrum...

Just last year, I won an item on Ebay from a Japanese seller. And for some unexplained reason, Ebay and/or Paypal moved up an address in my addressbook to the top. But since I had not used that address for over 4 years (and then only once), and my own address had been the only one in there for quite some time, I only noticed when I had already paid for the item and got a track and trace message from the seller to this address! An address in the US, I might add...

I had at one time ordered something off Ebay for this guy, in trade for an item he sent me. I had even deleted the address about two years ago, along with some other addresses that had ended up in my Ebay list, but they all of a sudden returned, just like that!

In the end though, I managed to get hold of him and paid him to forward the package to me. Which still was decidedly cheaper than ordering the item again...

So maybe something like that happened here as well?

And why not check your Paypal account, bank and/or credit card statements for a payment you can't place? Maybe something matches up with the unexpected arrival?

I've just had a senior moment, I'm pretty such I sent you something really cool that I meant to send to myself. Drop me a Pm and I'll send you my proper address....

Hate it when that happens, somehow this has happened with my eBay account as well, with packages arriving at my old flat... luckily i could also still get them due to knowing the person who has moved in after me. Weird though that that can happen.

it was one of the kickstaters that you bought into over a year ago and they are just getting around to shipping it.

I once gave the wrong adress to an ebay seller, I had just moved and used to live at no 75, now I live at no 78 on a different street and it was one of the first things I bought online since the move so it was sent to a house a couple of doors down from mine, they refused it and it was sent back to the seller, I found out through the tracking info, figured out my mistake and contacted the seller who sent it out again when he received the item back, this time to the right adress. wouldn't be so bad apart from the fact that I'm in the Netherlands and the seller was in Japan

As far as I know there isn't any wargames companies in Harrogate (I'm in knaresborough a couple of miles away) Wargames Command Post used to be in Scotton but he moved down south.
The post code Starts with an HG 1 or 2 is Harrogate I think.
