from Simon & Schuster. I have no earthly clue what this is about. I didn't order anything from them. I checked a few of the tracking numbers and all of the packages seem to weigh 11.4 lb.

Supposedly Simon & Schuster is a publisher. So I have over 250lb of mysterious books arriving at my house tomorrow that I did not order?!?

And although this company seems to have a distribution center in Milan TN, that is about 2 hours away from Memphis TN where this shipment is supposed to have originated from.

I am very weirded out. But I guess I have to wait until tomorrow to know more.

Do you have a tenant that may have ordered? sibling/niece or nephew ordering to your house?

Scam. Don’t click on anything. Don’t reply. Let us know if you get a delivery. If you do and you’re home when it comes tell the delivery person you won’t accept it. You might get nothing. For sure don’t reply with any personal information. Even if they have your correct name and address don’t give them anything else.

The email is a standard UPS notice, I get them all the time whenever there is a package coming to my house. That is not mysterious. The tracking numbers seem legit too. But what on earth is coming and why is it coming to me??

We have no tenants and none of my relatives ship packages to my house (they live too far away for that to be practical).

Yes. All 23 emails are from mcinfo@ups.com, same as the ones I get when an Amazon or other package is arriving.

Links are exactly the same, to ups.com (not an anonymized link).

The last email just came, informing me that package #23 is coming from Buffalo NY and weighs 1.2lb.

Even if it’s legit and 23 packages are due to show up tomorrow, there’s nothing you can do about it right now
Please let us know tomorrow what happens!

I do feel bad for the UPS driver, our porch is up 2 flights of stairs from the street.

And if it's a mistake, he might have to shlep them all right back down.

Does the tracking number work on UPS website?

Easy way to verify.
If it doesn’t work (most likely), it’s a scam.
If it does (still a scam but a different kind) call ups, give the the tracking number and tell them to halt the delivery.

But, there’s no way it works.

Do you have UPS My Choice? That should allow you to verify by logging into your account.

I just got an email from UPS that my order from XXX store is coming. Turns out that the Walmart seller must be shipping from another popular store (spoke about it in real life today) for one of my household items I ordered.

Did you order something else that can be shipping from them?
Other books? did you order other wholesale products for chanukah or to resell?
