A ‘Poppit’ model hearing aid! As a child I sent off for one in the post from a Sunday paper ad, thinking it was a magic gadget that made everyone hear better. I was disappointed when it arrived, but not as red faced as my mother when a salesman turned up at the door a week or two later!
Moth killer
I’ve had a few odd things come through the post, epty jiffy bags adressed to me, a solitary teabag, incontinence pants, single sanitary towel (unused but also unwrapped), a pack of 3 cat biscuits, a tiny little chocolate bar and but the strangest has to be a sock just one sock, don’t know who sent it, it was in a jiffy bag with no indication of where it had come from, it was actually a very nice sock but about as much use as a chocolate teapot to me. I kept it for a little while in case the other sock arrived but it never did, shame really!
A newborn baby pack……. My babies are definitely not babies anymore lol
A box of plant seeds to grow my own Xmas dinner!
a key to a new car.. in cardboard

I once received a voucher for a day out at a local attraction unfortunately it was expired
A Beavers sweatshirt – I have no children, no involvement in any scouting movement (I wasn’t ever even a brownie/guide..etc myself!) and there was absolutely nothing to give any clue as to where it had come from.
It still bothers me to this day!
A cricket bat received and I don’t even play the game …a complete mystery to me!
Random pack of tena lady’s
A plastic manitey from a florida comp

A cup and saucer ……nothing else no explanation
A tea bag!
Tena lady sample!
A lolly in the shape of a dog
Some men’s incontinents pants!!
An empty envelope, it looked as though it might have been a card for my birthday, but I had no idea who it was from
The strangest thing I ever received in the post was a packet of fajita mix. It was very nice
A giant plastic fly
A pair of black silk boxer shorts with red hearts on. Not a clue who sent them.
A femidom and a sachet of lube. Erindoors was not impressed. Still thinks I’m playing away.
A long torch, poorly packaged which I’m sure the postman thought was something naughty 🙂 He winked at me as he handed it over.
A pair of REALLY large pants!
a pack of 5 fuschia pink toilet rolls from a competition win.
A straw hat with holes in … for a donkey!! Very strange!
a tube of christmas baubles – in July!!!
An ice scraper
A pair of skis and poles, which were actually for my brother – not me. He had given my name and address because he knew I would be at home during the day to receive them – he just forgot to let me know about it. I was completely mystified 😀
Pack of 54 pencils with no details of who from
a box of condoms in assortment of flavours and different shapes and sizes!
A 3mth supply of water which was delivered in the biggest box possible by UPS
A full set of Le Creuset saucepans. Addressed to me, but no letter or notification from whom they came from. As it turns out, I’d entered a competition on the side of the cat food box (and won!!).
An empty jiffy bag. Who know what delights existed inside earlier in its journey!
A week’s supply of knickers (there were only 5 pairs)
A packet of dried crickets – apparently a new novelty snack!
I received a very very romantic Valentine’s Day card from a mystery person, definitely not from my husband (!!) but from the wording the person knew me quite well. It caused a bit of a stir in our household as you can imagine.
My dad once got a postcard in the shape of a donkey’s hind legs. The chap who sent it met him at his work’s meeting and it read “Just returning your donkey’s hind legs which you talked off….” He took it in good jest and we all had a laugh!
Well its going back a few years now, but the most unexpected and strangest thing in the post was a letter that arrived before 12pm!
Some cat food pouches. I do not own a cat ♀️ They didn’t go to waste though – I put them out in the garden and made a few feline friends for life!
Many years ago, a stick about 10 inches long, probably from a competition that I entered. Can’t remember what comp that might have been, though.
Not long after I met my partner she received a parcel on her birthday. She eagerly opened the parcel and what did she find inside? A dead white rat!! She thinks it came from her last partner who she finished with a few months earlier. She said he wasn’t very happy when she finished with him although he had been two timing her.
The strangest thing happened to me and for a few weeks I received baby items from China including mittens hair bow and bibs, I never ordered and didn’t have a baby.
A gnome
A see through nighty and thong from a secret admirer that I hadn’t even met. I was a bit freaked out.
I once received a mahoosive box filled with about 200 identical silver glittery tree baubles. They were a bit dusty & clearly not new, & right at the bottom of the box was a DVD of a film which there’d been loads of comps for. I have absolutely no clue why the prize provider (whoever they were – no compliment slip or letter) had sent me the baubles along with the DVD!
About 100 loo rolls! I was so excited to see such a big box outside when I got home. Definitely the most boring and weird parcel I’ve ever received. (It wasn’t even that I’d won them, it was for one of the holiday cottages I manage!)
i once received a hamper of welsh food. No idea where it came from (wales probably)
A pair of Baby Bogey Pickers – a runners up prize I assumed – which kind of sat on our nursery shelf for a few months whilst I occasionally glanced at them in confusion then just picked my son’s bogeys out with my fingers like every normal mum!
A Minions birthday cake COVERED in ants!! Not a very happy birthday after all…
A blow up doll with Sheffield Hallam University on it! Can only think it was a runners up prize because I certainly wouldn’t have entered a competition to win it!
An egg timer……possibly because my cooking is bad and someone wanted to give me a subtle hint!
A jar of apricot jam. I mentioned to my firend that I liked it and so she sent me a jar. She lives 250 miles away. Good friend!
A sandwich was once posted through my letter box, no idea who posted it but I couldn’t dare myself to it.

A dog frisbee. I entered a comp for a cat toy and got sent this by mistake.
I received a packet of Sunflower Seeds in a big envelope. Have no idea who they were from. But we planted them and got some really beautiful tall Sunflowers growing, so I’m grateful to whoever sent them!
A packet of pork scratchings!!! Absolutely no idea where they came from or why they were sent to me! This was around 10 years ago now and it’s still a mystery!

We put Mr boo boo his nickname in a charity raffle and raised 350 pound for meningitis. Now is his in a children’s respite care hospice.
One day I received 8 separate large plastic envelopes with flat fold-up boxes inside. The postman gave me a funny look when delivering . They were correctly addressed, but no indication of where they were from, and I still don’t know to this day.
A mini tree in a tube
There’s been a few. One was Christmas decorations, addressed to our name of bits and peices we never ordered. I rung the company about it. We weren’t a customer of there’s either. They had no idea how we got it either. They told us to keep it. All they would tell us was it was for someone down South.
Another was a handle for a razor. No razor blades. Just the handle.
An envelope with a small square cube of metal in it. No note and don’t know where it came from. It ended up in the recycling bin as there was no use for it we could work out.

The postman brought me a parcel with a tiny bikini bottom in it, & I still don’t know who sent it or why.
I won a signed piece of artwork, a caricature of Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant & Karl Pilkington for the launch of An Idiot Abroad. I thought it was a picture, just a nice small one that I could put on my wall as I love them so much but I got a shock when a lifesize cardboard cutout of them all, signed by all three, arrived. I had nowhere to put it although it was amazing so I donated it to charity instead
I won a loaf of bread that was delivered in a big box. Odd enough but given that I was on holiday and it had sat in my neighbour’s very warm house for a week …………. I opened a mouldy, smelly package! Yuk!

I won a #NationalFreindshipDay surprise from them which turned out to be a very squashed box of Mince Pie crumbs but as they where wrapped in a beautiful Ted Gift box with all the wrapping a stunning ballgown would have gone in, I still got a win as used that to wrap a gift for Xmas 🙂

A cheese grater

A pack of 4 yogurts in polystyrene and packed with rapidly melting ice. We weren’t in and the postman left them in a ‘safe place’… the bin! He obviously knew where they were heading!!!
My dog!!
When he was a puppy he escaped out the cat flap and I didn’t realise. The postman carried him back and said “…I think this is yours!”
The strangest delivery I had was an unexpected delivery of cheese and ham snacks a kind neighbour took in the delivery and wondered why it was leaking water from the parcel! (Ice blocks inside melting!)
Instead of a pack of nice “decent” seamless undies – the ones I received were tiny and crotchless!!
I laughed so much they wouldnt have been much use !!
A broken bottle of wine!
Strangest thing I got in the post was nipple tassles (I kid you not) my mum sent me them as a joke. I was like wth? I sold them on eBay for £20 to a lady who was in a play that involved the wearing of nipple tassles so win win hahahahaha
The strangest thing I’ve received through the post has to be a hand delivered love letter saying call me with a mobile number on it, needless to say I never called the number lol

Reading through these comments has had me in fits of giggles. The weirdest thing we’ve had through the letterbox was a bright green mankini which was given second hand off eBay it was from our friends for my husbands birthday as a joke, we had the last laugh though when he sent them a picture of him wearing it and then wrapped it back up for their birthday!
Worms! Carefully packed thank goodness. They were to get my worm farm started and manage food waste. Unbelievably good for growing veggies too.

Some 118 branded condoms but they weren’t kitemarked. Also a Jeremy Corbyn annual which I intended to send to some very anti Corbyn friends but decided I wouldn’t be able to cope with the facebook rants it would start
We get a Christmas and sent every year for someone that has never lived at my address (our family are the only people that have lived here), no returns address and we can’t find the person in our area. I feel so sorry for the person that sends it every year but there’s no way I can help
A set of Allen keys…I have no idea where they came from, they are at the top of my ‘worst prize ever list’, however my husband uses them all the time!
Some live caterpillars from a grow your own butterfly comp – it was fascinating. On of the butterflies had a wing deformity so we kept it. We called it Frank and it used to sit outside on its sugar sponge and even went on holiday to my friends when we went away. It lived for about 6 weeks and gradually faded away. Must admit I cried and still think of Frank every time I see a red admiral butterfly

A pair of fluffy red handcuffs – to this day I have no idea where they came from!
Some pony curls!
I’ve had a few odd pieces of post. Sample bags of Cherrios that kept turning up and I have no idea where from. A pallet left on my doorstep no one owned up to (think builders around the corner dumped it!). Christmas cards and Birthday cards for people I’d never heard of but due to the wonders of the Internet I have managed to find the correct person (I’m a bit obsessive like that!). Worst thing was a 25p coupon that was worth less than the postage!

When I was a kid an uncle used to send us a box of delicious treats every Christmas. The box arrived from him one year and it was bigger than ever. I was really excited when and my mum handed me the scissors to cut the string. The box then sprung open and two horrible looking legs and feet popped out – he had sent a turkey!
A finger with a ransom note! (wrong address)
We were amused and wowed by the flat bottle of red wine sent to us for Christmas that fit through the letter box!
Receiving a fresh and dry balls cream via Mumsnet to trial this new product
A shoe-box sized package that when opened revealed a mass of packaging and one single red coloured krill oil gel capsule. I’m vegetarian so I would never have ordered it, and I was really annoyed about the environmental impact of all that packaging. I didn’t want to waste it, so cut open the capsule and put the oil on the cat food, my cat seemed to enjoy the flavour.
A commode chair! Left in the front garden for everyone to see while I was at work! lol. It wasn’t for me in case you are wondering, it had been delivered to the wrong address and just left there by the delivery man. It’s funny now but I was not impressed at the time!
8 wooden pallets. I woke up one morning, looked out of the front bedroom window and there they were stacked up outside my front door with a “Sorry we missed you” note stuck to the front of them. I hadn’t ordered any pallets, the note didn’t have a company name or telephone number. It really was just a note with “Sorry we missed you” written on it. I knocked on all the doors with the same number in different streets nearby and no one claimed them. Eventually one of my neighbours had them for firewood.
A large dead twig. It was apparently a rose bush that had been in the postal system for 8 months!

An ear cleaning kit!
A water saving device for our shower. It took me ages to figure out what it was
A large box with lots of packaging and one jar of conserve which I had won. Talk about over packaging!
A metal bar – after a bit of detective work it turned out to be part of an umbrella i had ordered off ebay but it got broken and only part reached me.
Recently, a bag of assorted washers with no covering letter to explain where from or what they are for. As a teenager I had a penfriend who would write to me on a whim using whatever paper-like item was to hand. I got letters on chocolate wrappers, cigarette packets, napkins…I don’t think he ever wrote to me on toilet paper, thank goodness!
A blank postcard with the words I love you scribbled on. No name or address. I still have no idea who it was from.
Some worms! (for a wormery)
A bunch of dead flowers as they had been held up the post due to snow!
A naan bread in tact, royal mail can’t deliver a letter without a crease but this was edible. A joke from a mate.
A stick form Ribena to be planted to grow into a blackcurrant bush. Now grown nicely but was just a little twig in a padded envelope to start with!
Remember my postie laughing at me receiving a tin of soup in the post! (Not sure how we guessed it was soup but I was pleased with my little soup and mug win!)
I got sent a very tiny plastic screw inside a plastic bag with an invoice for £9.99 I never paid it. I never ordered it.

I got a wand for mascara….no mascara in the parcel, just the wand!!

A Borat Mankini (runner up prize in a comp )
A watch strap
a little box containing wedding cake, however, the box was empty apart from 2 paper clips, never found out who it was from, we didn’t know anyone who got married around this time.There was no indication on the front as to who it was from , no name or address. Think it must have been intended for another address, The name on the front of the box was just addressed to “My Dear Friends’ so that didn’t help.
Some badges which I didn’t even want … prob promotional post but I wasn’t going to wear them
Someone sent me a nude by post
A stethoscope! Good old Amazon packaging, which doesn’t necessarily box everything it sends. It was a neighbour’s and they came it picked up but definitely the oddest thing to come through our door!
A random copy of the film ‘Enemy Of The State’ on DVD – about 8 years after it had been released… not a clue where it was from as nothing in the envelope with it!

From a packet of hankies to box of condoms till 1 loose battery then 1 shoe my list is endless
A mankini don’t know where from just turned up out of the blue, needless to say it was donated to charity!!
Rods for Roman blinds, to be transported to Switzerland as they couldn’t be sourced there. Only just fitted in our case!
Strangest thing we received was a box of car spares which were not for our car but thankfully the right neighbor came to claim it as the delivery note had wrong house number on
Although it wasn’t through the post, a double bed was couriered to us quite recently. We didn’t order it and had no idea who it was to go back to as the teenager took delivery and the dog destroyed the invoice before I got home from work. Still sitting in it’s box hoping the original owners ask for it, failing that it’s going to go to charity.
