How to find out who sent you an Amazon package (and what to do!)
Amazon makes it super convenient to order just about anything you can think of right at your door. But that’s not all; they’ve also simplified the gift-giving process, making it easy for people to order packages for others too. However, sometimes it’s not clear who sent the package, and you want to thank the person for their generosity.
In other cases, you may receive unwanted “spam” gifts from anonymous senders and hope they stop. This article will explain when and how you can determine who sent you an Amazon package and how to track the package of someone who ordered items on Amazon on your behalf.
How to find out who sent you an Amazon package
It can be frustrating to receive a package from someone without stating who sent it. In most cases, if customers wish to remain anonymous, Amazon listens to their requests. However, according to findyouranswer.com, Amazon customer support can be contacted to try to find out which account sent the item.
To find out who sent an Amazon package, you must provide the date and time the package was received, along with the package number and item description. Any information you can gather about the package will help identify the order.
Especially if the package is not needed, Amazon will be happy to track the order and fix the problem. There have been many problems with “swipe scams” involving Amazon customers receiving packages they didn’t order as part of a sophisticated fraud scheme. If you suspect this is the case in your case, then you should contact Amazon Customer Service to report the problem.
However, for situations where the well-meaning gift-giver wishes to remain anonymous, there may not be enough information about the sender associated with the order to properly track the gift. In this case, you will have to ask someone you know and they may send you a gift.
Are Amazon packages anonymous?
When buying a gift for someone on Amazon, customers can choose to leave their information on the packing list sent with the package. This is done by people who wish to send gifts anonymously.
If you’ve received a package that you didn’t order, and your Amazon account didn’t incur additional charges, it’s likely that someone ordered a gift from you in order to remain anonymous.
Amazon actually gets a lot of complaints on or around major holidays from people who think they’ve received fraudulent orders. Amazon usually informs them that the gifts were purchased for them by someone else, allaying fears of fraudulent purchases.
Amazon packages ordered through Wish List also have the option to send anonymously. If you do plan to buy something from someone from their Amazon wishlist, it’s best to make sure they don’t plan to buy the item for themselves, because if you may not notify them that it has been purchased for them, choose to remain anonymous.
Can I track an Amazon package someone sent to me?
Sometimes people order items for you, but it takes a while to arrive. In this case, it might be useful for you to track the item yourself, rather than relying on the person who bought it to track the item on your behalf.
If you want to track other people’s purchases for you on Amazon, you must ask them for tracking information. Tracking numbers can be used with Amazon tracking, or with local delivery services to track packages.
It would be much easier if the person gave you tracking information. If not, you will have to ask the person for tracking information. If you’re buying a gift for someone else on Amazon, it’s a good idea to keep tracking information, order numbers, and product IDs so you can provide them to recipients upon request.

in conclusion…
Amazon makes it easy to buy gifts for people around the holidays. You can even do so anonymously if you want to surprise the recipient even more.
However, if you do buy things for people on Amazon, it’s best to keep as much information as possible from the order on hand. This makes it easier to hand over tracking information if the person makes a request to you. It can be frustrating to receive random packages or untraceable items on your wish list.
