Even if not shipped from an Amazon warehouse, it comes with an Amazon envelope and tracking number.
Because they used your address when they picked a random one, and had to trigger tracking that it was delivered, you end up with an empty envelope.
If they didn't send the envelope, tracking would show it was never delivered.
The whole process is designed to trick Amazon, they don't care about who gets the empty envelope.
Does Amazon have a way to report this? It seems trivial to set a "I got an order I didn't ask for" page, then ask for tracking numbers. Genuine mistakes happen but they would probably find the regular offenders pretty quick.
For that to be useful, two things would have to be true:
It's probably more likely that Amazon benefits through higher sales so has no incentive to fix it.
I was thinking for a moment, they could have the parcel service report the weight of the package and try to detect anomalies there. But that's also really easy to circumvent by just stuffing the package with packing material...
