What is HobbyCity doing?

I went to pick up my latest HC order today at the post office. The gal brings the package to me and the name on the return address was the same as my last name, and the label said "Happy 16th birthday Jason!"

Now I'm 24, and I do look pretty young, but no way can I pass for 16. The gal at the counter notices this and starts questioning me, asking who sent it, asking if I'm trying to skirt taxes/duties, etc. I play dumb, say I don't know anything about why it would say that.

Why would HC do this? They get to declare the value on the customs form as whatever they want, and they put is as gift, why would they need to go further and put "Happy 16th birthday" and send it from someone with the same name as me. Seems pretty weird and stupid considering it's going to raise eyebrows when someone is obviously not 16 and it's not even close to their birthday. I've ordered from HC many times and this has never been done before.
