    She likely can’t be compelled to pay for the packages. If they are COD it’s up to the shipper to get the Cash on Delivery and they are failing in that. Still a big annoyance I’m sure.

      She probably has her credit card info on Amazon and the seller got it and has been automatically charging her. It’s harder and takes longer to get charges reversed than to just not respond to a bill in the mail

        The article didn’t mention that her card has been getting charged, that would be much worse.

        She believes that Amazon sellers stole her information from a dormant Amazon account and are using her name and home address as an easy way to get rid of unwanted return items that sellers either cannot afford to store or do not wish to store. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) told CBC that it sounded like a vendor-return scheme that’s common in the US but rarer in Canada, where foreign sellers dodge fees associated with storing and shipping return items by sending the items anywhere but their own addresses.
