Parcel scam?

Why would a mystery person purchase an item for £150 then have it sent to a someone’s home?
There was an error in the address details and a returns label was not included.
The parcel had been left at a neighbours home as the recipient was out at the time.

Find someone who goes to work like clockwork for an address.
Use stolen card to make a purchase and have it delivered to that address and take the package from the front door.

A lot of stuff is illegal in one country but not another so you can order it but your country may find it illegal so you ship it to someone else and if you do it right you just have to snatch the package later.

I remember Americans doing this sort of thing when they ordered steroids from other countries.

I dunno I'm just guessing.

Yes, that would work.

So could someone (Scammer) use a stolen credit card to quickly set up an account in a different person’s name (person X) with person X address.
The item gets delivered to person X.
The next order ( something far more expensive ) is ordered via the same account but this time Scammer has the items delivered to a different address where they can coll ...[text shortened]... e second, more expensive order because it was bought through an account with their name and address?

This reminds me of how I got 1 kg of opiated fudge cake sent from Aceh to me in Yogyakarta without my name being involved.

Declaration form, on the package?🤔

Well what a silly waste of time! The parcel was delivered to a friend who, after I had posted here, discovered that a relative had posted it to her to pass onto someone else who was abroad at the time … but didn’t bother to tell her 🙄

It was a fancy Ninja hair dryer with lots of styling attachments.
You know the type?
