Amazon keeps delivering a hotel’s orders to this D.C. family — a chainsaw was the breaking point

When a family in Washington, D.C., moved about a mile away from the historic Arlo Hotel, the last thing they probably expected was for the hotel to become part of their daily routine. After six months, more than 100 packages were mistakenly sent to her address because hotel guests kept typing in her address, and the packages just kept getting increasingly strange.

NBC reported the story, and the homeowner, who simply goes by Brittany, shared that it has gotten to the point where packages arrive nonstop at their house. Apparently, this latest case of mistaken identity is also due to the similarity in names. Arlo and her home have nearly the same address on Amazon, with just one letter making the difference.
