E.Mail help please

Today I received e.mails from DHL/USPS Global informing me they could not deliver goods because of wrong post codes and to click on the link (zip?) for details.
Both came from yahoo.com but both have said they will keep goods for 15/20 days and thereafter make a daily charge of $4.44/$6.66 which suggests America.
Needless to say I,m worried about any virus or scam as I have not ordered anything unless you count free samples or things suggested in the forums.
What would you do please?
Thanks :o

    It's a scam-do you really think DHL use a yahoo email address?
    Just delete the emails.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yahoo will just be the e-mail address. The link will likely take you to a page where they try and get money or personal information out of you!

    I really struggle to understand who actually falls for these e-mails! But I guess some people must do
