The short answer is: The seller, which means you, the business owner. Obviously, if you printed the wrong address on the shipping label, didn’t include a return address, or poorly packaged the item, it’s 100% on you to compensate the customer with a new shipment or a refund.
Similarly, Can I open a package sent to my address? No you cannot keep it. In fact, opening that package is illegal. It is illegal to open anyone else’s mail even if it is addressed to the wrong address. Call the customer service number for UPS.
