EAST MARLBOROUGH: Looking for answers

A few weeks ago I wrote about how my brother's credit card was hacked and a box of "streetwear" clothes from the super-trendy Supreme brand showed up at his door in East Marlborough.
I have been sharing this story with everyone in hopes of making sense of this wacky scheme: why on earth would a hacker take the trouble to obtain a stolen credit card number -- and then send the clothes to somebody else's address?
The best answer I've gotten so far is that the order, by default, went to the address attached to the credit card account. If anyone has a better explanation, I'd love to hear it.
