Woman Accidentally Sends Online Order to Her Old Address. Despite Photo Evidence, the New Homeowner Denies Receiving It
A Mumsnet user shared that she accidentally used the incorrect delivery address for a recent online shopping order The woman claimed the workout clothes she bought got delivered to her old address, according to a delivery photo She confronted the new homeowner at the address, who denied receiving the packageA little retail therapy turned into a big headache for one shopper. Taking to the community forum Mumsnet, one woman explained that she ordered workout clothes from an online store but 'stupidly' set her delivery location to her old address. Once the package was delivered, she went to pick it up and had a confrontation with the new homeowner. 'Yes, I know it's annoying and stupid, so I don't need that lecture,' she admitted of her delivery mishap. 'Once I clocked what had happened, I went over to collect it a couple of days later.' 'The woman who bought the house off me completely denies having received it, despite the courier's photo showing it being accepted at the front door,' she continued. 'I can see two sets of children's feet at the door, and I recognize the doorstep since I lived there for nearly 20 years.' The woman then detailed how she approached the homeowner. 'I did not shout or accuse, I was very polite, I said I was 'puzzled' and that there must have been some sort of confusion, but she was adamant she hadn't had it,' the shopper said. 'It was a shoebox-sized parcel so not massive to store and not easy to lose either.' 'Do you clever lot have any idea if there's anything I can do?' she asked the forum, before jokingly quipping, 'I half expected her to come to the door wearing my gym gear.'

Meet My Favorite Shopping Companion Ever: AI
I have given up alcohol, carbohydrates and nail-biting, but there's one habit I can't seem to quit: shopping. I spend a significant portion of my nonworking hours on the hunt for the right-sized toothbrush holder, the ideal ottoman or the perfect pair of red boots. My husband is happy to weigh in on the occasional online find, and I have a few girlfriends who are up for an hour of shopping here or there, but I've never found a shopping buddy who can match my retail stamina.
