This could be part of a serious scam. There were a few cases that I heard of where people were getting cards supposedly from a courier but there was no parcel at all. They had to phone a number on the card to arrange for delivery. The company would never tell them who the package or parcel was from but when they got their phone bill there was an astronomical amount for the phone call. The 'company' was making money from the phone calls.

I don't know what the name of the company was but was your one a well known reputable company or some cowboy firm you've never heard of? If the latter then it could be a similar scam.
