There is a difference between it being illegal, and it not being done.

I can't legally take an order for delivering a gift package to a third party,
for example. You can't pay me to send a Christmas box full of Christmas soap
to your parents, because your parents would need to authorize me to use their
personal identifying data (address) and to allow me to give such data to the
logistics agency in order to make the delivery.

Which is moronic, and as such, everybody in the industry is ignoring this and
sending loads of unauthorized gifts on behalf of relatives and whatnot.
