If there is a message from a Seller on Amazon marketplace you should see it by logging into your Amazon account, Your Orders.
I have not been contacted by a Seller by telephone. I wouldn’t trust it.

Agree Amazon do do a lot of deliveries for other companies, however I'd be wary that the phone call may be a scam. Rather than phoning the number that called you, I would contact the companies you have ordered from and expecting deliveries from directly re tracking any parcels

Thanks, Aveline and SueDonim. The trouble is, this isn't an Amazon item, and I don't know who sent it. I assume I've bought it, but I have several parcels in the pipeline, as it's Christmas, and I can't work out which this on might be.

If it's gone to a neighbour and has my address on it, they might bring it round, but usually the intended recipient goes to get undelivered parcels. I can't complain to the seller, as I don't know who it is. It's very annoying.

Amazon do take complaints very seriously. However I know it's a really time consuming thing. Could you phone? They don't advertise a number but I found one once by Googling.
I usually find Amazon deliveries much better than other delivery companies.

It could be anything. That's the problem. The photo shows a brown envelope and a white door, which could be anywhere. Why they can't say who the seller is on these things is beyond me. 'My Seller' is no help at all.

ETA I should say that Amazon recently sent me an email and a photo of a delivery that I could make head nor tail of. I squinted and peered at the photo but it made no sense. Then - lightbulb moment - I realised it was my son’s front door and it was a present I’d ordered well in advance!

Could it be an item someone is sending direct to you? A Christmas gift, perhaps?

I got a call this morning, but didn't pick up as I was in the bathroom, but could see the number on my watch.

I googled it (there was no message voicemail) and found that the number is associated with Amazon. I have no outstanding orders so forgot about it.

A while later, I got an email from 'Amazon Shipping' saying that a parcel from 'My Seller' had been delivered, with a photo of a package on a doorstep that is not mine. The tracking number shows where it was posted and various stages on the way to a sorting office near me. There was a 'contact us' button on the webpage in the email which I clicked and there was an option to speak to someone. They wanted my number, which I put in, and was called more or less immediately, by someone wanting my name. I hung up, as I was getting nervous, and felt that Amazon should be able to connect my name and number from the tracking number.

I do have some parcels outstanding from other sellers, but have no idea what is in this one, or where it is from. I don't recognise the doorstep it's been left on either.

Does this sound like a scam, or are Amazon now delivering for others? If so, how do I trace my parcel and get it back? I have reported the situation to Amazon via their Customer Service function, but of course my message is not connected to an item ordered from them, so I don't know now whether they will be able to help.
