So far they have all been "coffee table books", large books with photos and some text. The theme has always been indigenous issues throughout the world.
I assume that my mysterious benefactor is someone who used to read a blog I used to keep and then shut down. When I had the blog my address and name were obtainable from my site's whois records. There's also a possibility it's some old friend who is just being anonymous for some reason. I doubt it's something else but it could be I suppose.
On a separate but topically related issue I also receive packages from amazon of fairly obscure things which are usually relevant to me. Imagine that I had dinner with a friend of a friend who turned out to be a former Chinese Circus Bear Trainer. A week later from amazon I receive a starter kit for Circus Bear Training. And I pass it on to my acquaintance who finds it interesting I got it. It's not that but a similar thing. I wonder if it's random shipments as part of some scam I can't imagine to comprehend. I think that it was a Bear kit after meeting with a Bear person is actually a coincidence and I'm reading too much into it since no interpretations other than weird scam make sense. I don't worry about any of these anymore and instead get excited when I receive a new bizarre shipment on an erratic irregular schedule, and show off the package to my friends and family who find the whole thing fairly hilarious. And some of them report to me that they too get random mis-shipments from amazon. While acknowledging that the Bear Kit takes the cake. So maybe Amazon's system is just messed up somehow.
Thank you. I've received some of those too, a small package of pencils for example shipped from China, and I agree those are probably that scam. The key is that the product is of incredibly low value.
This doesn't match though the higher value items, costing dozens to low hundreds of dollars, which I've inexplicably received, and which seem to be related to random things I've done recently that are unique. Those shipments I feel reasonably are bizarre and unusual and otherwise reasonable explanations of scams just don't explain them.
