ALLSTON (WBZ) ―

"An Amazon package to someone in Boston, Mass. on Park Drive," said Alex Safian.
There is a pile of packages in the entrance of Alex Safian's Allston office building and the labels are addressed to all over the country.
"They are in transit. They aren't from this building, not to this building, they are just dropped off here and just sitting here," said Safian.
A surveillance camera shows a man, who looks like a delivery man, dropping them on Tuesday at 8 a.m. People here say it's the third time this has happened.
One of those packages was sent from Johnson String Instruments in Waltham to Alaska, so we gave Johnson String a call.
The company tells WBZ it sent the expensive instrument on September 7th through the U.S. Postal Service.
Now, eight days later it's sitting in Allston. They are stumped.
"No, we have no idea that it's sitting there," said an employee at Johnson String.
They plan to come get it themselves.
As for all the rest, Safian called the Allston Post Office. They say it's not their problem.
"He said it's not their responsibility, and they're not interested," Safian said. He added that that response made him upset since it seems like he cares "more about the US Mail than the US Postal Inspector does."
The US Post Office in Boston tells WBZ it is baffled and is now investigating.
Late Wednesday, a person from the USPS came and picked up many of the packages, leaving only five.
We called UPS as well, it says it did not deliver those packages, but
