Can I send something anonymously through Amazon?

I don't know if it's mean or nice. Or even effective. It's for an estranged sibling who's in an abusive relationship, where the significant other has cut off all of my sibling's support network. It's a book to try and help sibling escape.

What if the significant other opens the box? I totally understand wanting to help. But if you're going to put the sibling at risk, better to show up with a moving van.

I've sent gifts through Amazon to people, and even though I'd written a message in the gift message part, Amazon packagers left them out, sending only the item with no receipts or anything to identify who it's from.

Get a prepaid credit card to where ever - amazon, target, walmart for the amount, open a new account with a fake address and send it (would be my guess, never done it but thought about it).

And SO might accuse her of having an affair or talking about him. Abusers are controlling. He probably monitors her mail.

I think the best way to do this would be to send a kindle book. Do you think your sibling has an email account that is not monitored by the spouse? You can send kindle e-books to someone via-email. They can read them either on a kindle or on a kindle app on a smart phone, tablet, or computer. Also, if they aren't interested in the book, they can exchange it for Amazon credit and use it for any item they want. (I'd use an amazon gift card to purchase the the e-book, and send it from an account you set up specifically for this purpose. This is quite a few steps, but if you really want to get the book to them this is my best idea on how to safely get it to them w/o tipping off the spouse.)

Why don't you call Amazon? It would be much easier that way, there are too many conflicting answers here.

Actually, I received several useless things anonymously from Amazon last year that I never ordered so I called customer service to find out who sent them and was told that they couldn't help me. I still don't know who sent them and why.

I've received gifts with no name and Amazon has been able to tell me who sent it to me.
