She said she reported the issue to Amazon, but the deliveries kept coming, with sometimes 20 packages a day. They were crowding her front door, and it was making her feel uneasy. "If somebody's going to show up... I'm disabled... Alone in the house. And all this is happening. I'm getting a little nervous.
