I know Amazon is different, but AliExpress sellers have sent low value packages to random addresses they have gathered so that AliExpress can track and verify the package was delivered. Somehow, they grow their trustworthiness under their eyes with the scheme.

Just a bit of info that might be semi related or make you think why would something like that happen.

Hmm. But what do they win? What’s the end game?
The end game is to get lots of 5 star reviews to attract more customers and get more sales. AliExpress is 10x worse than Amazon when it comes to fake reviews so fake reviews isn't just widespread on the platform, it's the absolute norm.
