They seem to be comparable to others and are more reasonably priced. Right now I'd wonder if they might send my results to the guy with my name in CA though. Or maybe they'll send me HIS.

That's a bummer. The partner, Jackie (could be a man as well, right?), is probably typing your doppelganger's email with a full stop instead of an underscore. Gmail ignores capitals and full stops/periods in email addresses. Someone could type out your email without the dots and you'd still get an email. You could always write an email to variants of your own name with underscores or different middle initials see what happens.

exactly. a.b.jones, abjones, a.bjones, ab.jones, ABjones, or anything with those kind of changes would still go to the same mailbox in the end. ab_jones would be different. so I bet you it's an underscore or a middle initial that's different in their email. maybe Jackie doesn't know your doppelganger's middle name? Awkwaaaard.
