Very strange. I received a nylon white t-shirt in the mail today, that I didn't order. Is this something that happens often? Says from CYKLAS $39.9

This scam is called "brushing". It involves sending out an order to your address followed by the seller faking up a positive review, possibly on Amazon and possibly using your name. The merchandise is simply being sent as a mechanism to allow the creation of a review. There's honestly no need for sellers to resort to "brushing" when they can participate in Amazon's Vine program and request legitimate reviews from Vine reviewers. Amazon Vine does the exact same thing as brushing, but it is legitimately supported by Amazon, where "brushing" could be enough to get the seller's account suspended. If you believe the package was sent by Amazon, you should report it to Amazon along with the package tracking number.
