Does Amazon have a way to report this? It seems trivial to set a “I got an order I didn’t ask for” page, then ask for tracking numbers. Genuine mistakes happen but they would probably find the regular offenders pretty quick.
For that to be useful, two things would have to be true:
The problem would have to be big enough for it to be worth Amazon’s man-hours developing and maintaining a solution
Enough recipients would have to be willing to go through the hassle of reporting (for Amazon’s benefit, not their own) instead of just tossing the empty package and moving on with their day
I was thinking for a moment, they could have the parcel service report the weight of the package and try to detect anomalies there. But that’s also really easy to circumvent by just stuffing the package with packing material…

It’s probably more likely that Amazon benefits through higher sales so has no incentive to fix it.
