If wrong parcel is delivered by the courier boy

If wrong parcel is delivered by the courier boy, that means the parcel you received have someone else’s name on it. This is not related to Amazon, it is a mistake of the courier service. In this case you can just inform the courier service that the package delivered has been exchanged with someone.

For the contact information, check the SMS you received from Amazon, informing you about the delivery. It has the name and contact number of the delivery boy. He will collect the misdelivered package and give you the actual thing that you ordered.
