    "AITA For telling my brother from now on, to have his packages delivered to his own house?"

    So my brother moved to Boston a few months ago. He told me he's going to take Amtrak to my house when he comes for Christmas.

    He asked if he coukd order his Christmas gifts online and have them delivered to my house.
  • 04
    He told me which stores his packages will be coming from and one of them is NFL shop.
  • 05
    I told him that's fine but to make sure he puts his name and my address for the shipping address, because I'm ordering from NFL shop too.
  • 06
    Since we shop early before all the good stuff is gone, some of my packages have been delivered to my house and some of his were delivered as well.
  • 07
    One of his packages had my name on it, so I thought it was one of mine....
  • 08
    And I opened it. I saw through the plastic sleeve that it was something I hadn't bought.
  • 09
    I called him and told him what happened and he was very upset. He started cussing asking me how I could DO such a thing and now I ruined the surprise.

    The gift I accidentally opened wasn't for me. It was for my nephew. I told him, why do you even care that I know what you got for my nephew.

    He told me that's not the point and I breached his boundary. I told him it was his fault because he put my name instead of his and perhaps he should have the packages delivered to his house, get off his lazy bum and drive down with the gifts like a normal human being (only 4 hours from his house to mine).

    He hung up and now he's ghosting me.

    soapsoapsoapsoap1 NTA. What boundary..? It had your name and it was delivered to your house.

    LoftyDreams7473 He thought all packages from that shop were his. I think he forgot I told him I ordered from that shop too. He accused me of deliberately snooping or just not caring.

    hengehanger Tell him unequivocally that any package that comes to your home addressed to you is going to get opened, whether he likes it or not.

    LoftyDreams7473 Great idea. I don't have time to "investigate" by matching tracking numbers or reviewing emails for matching the timelines. I'm expecting two more packages from that shop (for now) and I'm not holding up my shopping to avoid problems with him.

    FastOpinion2922 NTA... It's his own fault. He put your name on it. It shouldn't be that hard to do. Honestly I can't see how this wasn't on purpose frankly. Unless he for some strange reason needed to send you a package in YOUR name at your address of course. The only thing that should need changed is the shipping address... nothing to do with a name.

    Lofty Dreams7473 Yes. I think with that particular order he overlooked putting his own name in the fiekd. He sent me my birthday present from the same store so my name was probably still associated with the mailing address.

    capitol_thought I mean, if someone violated a 'boundary' it was him by using your name when you told him not to!
  • 21
    LoftyDreams7473 Yes. I'm sure he learned not to use my name by now (although it was purely by accident). S t happens.
  • 22
    capitol_thought Yeah, but it was his mistake and now he is being childish about it!
  • 23
    LoftyDreams7473 Yes. He sure is. Not the first time he overlooked something and blamed others.
