Received a jiffy envelope the other day that was empty other than a return label.
It appears to be for an Ebay item but I don't have any outstanding. The return address doesn't have a name, simply 'R T' at unit 335 Stratford Workshop, Burford Road E15 2SP.

As far as I can tell it seems to be a car part suppliers with Chinese parts called H&W INC Ltd whom I haven't bought off.

So, any idea what this could be about?

Sent in error? Probably meant for the next guy in the list.

You haven't bought off them with that name but it's probably some variant of drop shipping and the warehouse has supplied you before. Of course that implies your details are on a database with someone you have no direct business relationship with...

If you have the time, maybe contact the destination of the return label and see how they've come by your address.

As for the packet being empty... fuck knows! Hardly need a jiffy to ship a label.

Go find some random broken (small) thing in your garage and send it back with a note saying you expect a full refund by return. How hilarious would that be?

It's a new play on an old scam.
Similar ploy used in silent calls.

They post an empty package to your address.
If you open it.
Then they know that the address is live.
And something along those scammery lines and etc.

Speaking of which, How the hell are you supposed to get your sample in that little tube for your all clear check after a vasectomy? I had to scrape some of mine off the ceiling because I missed it.

No lubricants and definitely no spermicide lol. Saliva is a no-no as well.

A decent aim helps.

Thats what I did for the first submission and yes, it got rejected. Mrs bastard was reluctant to spit into the bottle as well. Took 4 attempts before she finally did.

My best guess is the company is a new name and location for a parts company you have used in the past, and they're a bit shit at record keeping.

Since we're on thread segues here. You reminded me of one of the coolest things I ever saw in a pub.

It was in a Florida beach bar and two loud annoying frat boys were holding forth about how awesome they were at darts (they weren't actually playing darts, just being loud and annoying).

A huge black guy in a long leather jacket who'd been sitting quietly enjoying the sunset eventually stood up and walked over to their table. He slapped a $50 bill on the table and said "If either of you can hit the bullseye on that dartboard with one dart, I'll give you 50 dollars. Otherwise shut the fuck up."

They both tried and failed, he picked up his $50 and said "I thought so!". Then sat back down. The frat boys left.
