Students from several Canadian universities are stumped as they continue to receive anonymous packages containing random items --
Everything from sex toys to light bulbs to record players to computer cables.
The items come from Amazon's packaging, but there is no indication of who ordered the items at the online retail giant.
"We must be confused about this," said Sean Wiska, vice president of the student union at Regina University.
Chairman of student affairs.
Since the end of November, his student union has received about 15 anonymous packages from Amazon, many of which contain multiple items.
Products sent so far include iPad case, kitchen scale and "fleshlight "--
Male sex toy in flashlight shape.
"This is probably one of the most interesting highlights of my student political career," said Wiskar . ".
"I'm really curious about what's going to happen next.

They also confirmed that they have been receiving mysterious Amazon packages since the fall.
Some students will say they have heard that packages have also been received by other Canadian universities.
Obviously, everyone, including Amazon, is trying to figure out who is behind the order.
"The question we are facing is, will this stop and why are these packages coming? " said Wiskar.
At the end of November, when the first anonymous box arrived at the student union of Regina University, no one would think much.
There are several counter protectors for hot items inside.
"No one claimed they ordered it, so we put it in the kitchen and didn't ask too many questions," said Wiskarsaid . ".
But the next mysterious package that arrived a week later caught the attention.
It has a vibrator sex toy and a weird pair.
Several phone chargers.
Amazon wants to leave the package at your home and Walmart will put the groceries in your fridge, "We're definitely a little shocked," Wiskarsaid said . ".
"At first, we carefully asked door-to-door in the office and in some student centres if they had ordered the items.
"No one claimed that the goods and more products continued to arrive.
They include the first one.
Several turntable record companies Retail on Amazon Canada for $89. 99 each.
His student union received up to 40 personal items worth more than $1,000.
He said: "Our first guess may be that it was a well-crafted scam by one of our co-universities, but it seems to cost a lot of money on this well-crafted prank.
Ryerson's student union was also bombed by Amazon's anonymous package.
There are a total of about 20 so far.
President Suzanne Nyaga said the first package that arrived in October contained several wireless headsets and a toy box.
Since then, the student union has received a bunch of goods, including equipment such as vibrators, dildos, oddelectroopers, to improve your Wi-
Fi connection, and several wireless headsets retail on Amazon for $62. 38 each.
"They are just such random items," Nyaga said . ".
"No one of us can find the connection between them.
"There are theories from priceyprank to marketing activities.
"If it's marketing, it's not the best," Nyaga said . " The student union does not know who is shipping and does not intend to keep the goods.
Some items, such as sex toys, have been donated to other campus departments.

"At this point, we really just take up space and we continue to get more," Nyaga said . ".
Her student union plans to donate the remaining items to charity, including contacting Amazon.
The company said it was unable to disclose who sent the package for privacy reasons.
Purchase using gift cards. Regina University students will also start giving away items after contacting Amazon many times for answers.
In its latest survey, Wiskar said the company determined that the last few items that the student union received were purchased using an untraceable gift card.
"Amazon said they don't know who it is and we should accept the packages," he said . ".
Toronto may become Amazon's "sweet spot" and the new CBC News also contacted Amazon.
The company asked to provide some photos of the shipping label on the anonymous package, which we are satisfied.
The company is still under investigation.
At the same time, some students will continue to receive free goods for at least some entertainment activities.
"Every time we get a mysterious package, everyone gathers at our front desk, it's bound to get some laughter," said Wiskarsaid . ".
"We are curious about what it can support. "
