No scam. The package arrived late.
I'd let the seller/bank/PayPal know to debit you again for the transaction if the returned credit is set-in-stone and guaranteed by the bank.


“addressee unknown“ might be your name was somehow not entered or filled into the database.
1). For a bigger company, they already have all that automatic .db transfer stuff all worked out already.
They've got buildings full of coders.

2). For a smaller family company starting out, they may have workers manually type in the addresses.
Someone pushed the 'tab' button and did not notice.


I'm guessing it was automatically returned by the USPS...and not screwed up...because there are thousands of daily scams...where stolen credit cards are used to send merchandise to empty/FS addresses.

Credit Card issuers have to be more careful these days...with covid/insurance/bankruptcies/etc... profit margins are tighter...so security triggers are elevated..as they should be.
