Default Shipping to someone you know

Ever happened to print the shipping label and realize the item is going to your neighbour, friend or an ex school-mate, ex-girlfriend or somebody famous?
I'd like to read some stories if you have time to share.
Thanks.

All the time - back in the days when I was more exposed to Canadian orders, I used to get a few from around the neighbourhood - closest was 3 houses over....

One time I realized I was sending an item to someone I played American Baseball with here. I never said anything.

I did sent something once to an ex girlfriend once or I think it was her. I normally sent the package off and that's it. I almost wrote a "go to hell" message.

I sell antiques to famous people all of the time.

A Yankees and a Rays wife both buy from me all of the time and when I see the item being shipped to a home with the players name and the wife replies then I always ask.

The Yankees player wife is a constant repeat buyer of high end antiques.

I perfectly understand the point. I do like antiques myself.
I think they are beautyful with a charming history.
I have something around the house, stuff that have a history in my family and I like it very much.
It is also a good way to invest some money.
