I good tip on using special delivery boxes is to only use as many boxes as you need and only when you need something. (like a brick for instance) You will only get bricks, nails etc. from special delivery boxes if you are working on something such as an orchard or a pig pen etc. You will get watering cans if you have been watering seedlings.

Also only use as many special delivery boxes as you need. Lets say you need 7 watering cans to grow your seedling. Only use 7 special delivery boxes to get them. If you use all of your special delivery boxes you will end up with other items that you don't need. (such as shovels in your case). There are other tips and tricks to getting specific items from special delivery boxes but I'm not going to list them all. But this is the answer as you why you have been getting shovels. Farmville simply thought that was the item you needed!
