Go easy.
Last week, a pair of boots shows up for me from Poshmark. The package has my name and address on it, down to the apartment number. I didn't order them. They're not my style, and they're not even my size. I check my debit card statements, I check my credit card activity, I check my Poshmark account, and there's no activity related to these boots in any location.
I contact the company, and wait. I'm soon informed that this is a thing which happens sometime: a seller's printed label using the address of a previous customer. It's not a problem I can solve on a large scale, and it's not a problem I caused, so I focus on the part I can manage: fixing the issue by printing the new address label they send me so the boots can go to their rightful owner.
I check the label for kicks, and it's quite the kick to find out they're going to my hometown. City, state, ZIP code, all the same. For added synchronicity, they're going to an area that I know pretty well and used to bike around in fairly often - that I hung out on Google Street View for a few nights some weeks back, using the "past street view" option to see the area prior to redevelopment.
I need to write this person a note and slip it into the package before I ship it off to them. Let them know where it's coming from, hope it arrives in good spirits, be sure to wear them to this one park to show them off. Add a bit of wonder to things.
