I had an Amazon shipping container just like that left on my steps a week ago, filled with my packages AND a bunch that were not mine. I contacted Amazon and they told me it was an error and not to worry about it. I thought about keeping them for a hot second but the guilt would eat me alive, they were all local addresses so instead I drove around town and dropped them off myself like a bootleg Amazon driver lol

That was a nice thing to do but all of those people would have either received a refund or a replacement item. So instead of you getting a bunch of free stuff, all the people you delivered to got free stuff. It's still a nice surprise for all those affected but don't worry about the guilt next time. It's only Bezos being hurt and he doesn't deserve your kindness.

I mean, no one got free stuff, people aren’t going to get refunds for items that got delivered.
