Perhaps it's a glitch with the option intended for gift purchases?

My sister had the opposite problem - when they sent me a notice her gift had been delivered to me, they named the item.

That's odd. Normally the delivery confirm goes to the buyer. How did they know how to contact you as the recipient?

I see. I don't recall seeing that and am not sure of what use it would be. If the recipient wants to return a gift, it's easy enough to send them the scan image to do so.

If the recipient doesn't want the sender to know they are returning something, it's nice to have the gift receipt.

“If the recipient wants to return a gift, it's easy enough to send them the scan image to do so.”

Which credits your account. If they have a gift receipt they can return and get the credit.

I do things a in a way that this doesn't come up.

I have an aversion to giving white elephant gifts and do what I can to avoid doing so. For gifts for a child, I ask their parents for suggestions. For adults, I ask their partner/spouse or refer to something I know they like or do and get something in that vein. When the response to my question is "I don't know, you choose", I give a gift certificate to a store I know they like.

Especially with adult family members, it makes the gift process easy and also appreciated.

Wow I didn't know spouses and parents bat 1000 when choosing gifts. And have you never ordered something, even for yourself, that you've decided to return because it didn't meet your expectations or was the wrong size?

While I'd like to think I pick gifts well, I'd also like my gifts not to go to waste if they're not going to be used. To help ensure that I'd like to make it as easy and not awkward as possible for the recipient to return or exchange.

" have you never ordered something, even for yourself, that you've decided to return because it didn't meet your expectations or was the wrong size? "

For myself or my wife, yes, of course. How is that relevant? Isn't the conversation about gifts?

Becaise whether you buy something you think you want, or you buy something for someone that they think they want, there’s a chance it doesn’t meet your/their expectation or doesn’t fit.

If you don't follow what I'm saying, that's fine. It's not that complicated.

Luckily, for us mere mortals, sending a gift receipt is an option that is available. It shouldn't concern anyone who doesn't need to use it.

Yeah, I'm not so arrogant to think that what I might pick out for someone is what they want or what they want in preference to something else. After 12 years of age or so, the element of surprise isn't the major part of receiving a gift and instead being given the opportunity to choose for oneself seems to always be appreciated, at least in a family. Maybe the people you give gifts to aren't of that mindset yet or you don't care.

Maybe some people just want to include a gift receipt. It's not that complicated.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we could all be identical to the one person who seems to be perfect?

Or maybe not...?

There is no such person, neither one real nor imagined.
