    no-the card has no address to send it back

    The one's I've had have always had an address to return them too - don't you even get a phone number to call?

    It's a service called "safeplace" which has to be bought from the Royal Mail by the supplier.

    If they have this service you can propose a designated neighbour or a "safeplace", the supplier puts the details on the address label. The card is then left to let you know where your parcel is. There are more details on the Royal Mail website.

    Ask Amazon.
    probably because they want their items going to the recipient/card holder address
