Spurious items in the post

I have received an item in the post but the addressee is completely unknown to me.  I have heard that this is quite a common occurrence and something to do with falsifying feedback ratings.  Any suggestions as to what course of action I should take?  The sender appears to be a subscription underwear supplier operating from the Netherlands.

I had a pair of gent's pants last year from Holland or Germany, can't remember. To my address, but in the name of someone I'd never heard of. They fitted quite well, so I kept them, never heard anything else. :-)

Last Christmas I received a package containing a rubbishy kitchen device and a  pack of turmeric tablets neither of which I’d ordered.  No return address given.  According to a herbalist friend the tablet brand was legitimate, expensive and of good quality.  Why?  If marketing, not very cost-effective I’d have thought.

Write "Not known here. Return to Sender" on the envelope and put it in the postbox.

You could try out some knickers david,you might find they are more comftable in the summer months versus those big mens tents.😁

You don't say, but presumably the address is your correct one, and you have been there long enough for this to not relate to a previous resident ? I still get Christmas cards for the former resident of my flat after more than a decade, but as the sender does not provide an address and the former resident did not give me a forwarding address, there is nothing I can do but bin them.
