Two Amazon packages from the same address, but to two different addresses in the same town.  There is nothing identifying the delivery company.  They are still outside my door.  Unless it is USPS who comes to my door nearly every day, there won't necessarily be a delivery person at my door until i actually order something.

Whats the protocol here?

Hmm, no identifying labels. Are they long and rectangular about the size of a flashlight?

Email USPS about it.

Just me, but if it was delivered by the United States Postal Service, I would either hand it to the mail man when he/she comes back, put a note in the box (if you can't be there when he/she comes back), or take it to the Post Office.

Yeah, it's work, but I would like it if someone did that for me in the event that addresses got crossed.

I'd just take it to a post office and tell them they delivered to the wrong address, if they can't just return to sender.

Do what others have stated, except before, open the package, put a dildo in there, and reseal it.

Unless it came from a delivery company that works gratis there has to be some identifying number on it.

Barto, there are numbers, bar codes, etc. but nothing indicating who shipped it.

I simply put a "wrong address" label on them and left them on the porch.

If it wasn't too far away, I'd go hand deliver them and show that there are still good people in this world.

Jasc15: use your phone to google the barcodes.

Chino: It could be part of a Small World experiment. I had considered the same thing. To that end you could just take them over to your neighbor's porch in the middle of the night and see if it was a good hop.
