JoeFerguson Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have had duplicate shipments from Amazon. When I read this thread I thought it was a joke and was surprised by all the people who took the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 How does anyone who has read your posts here think you would do anything other than this? Hell, let's take honesty out of the equation. Only a dumbass would hold onto or re-sell a plasma TV sent to them by mistake and think that no one would ultimately be the wiser. Legally speaking, if they really did accidentally ship him two televisions, he's under no obligation to send one back; the FTC considers it a "gift." That said, the "moral" thing to do is to send it back. (I had a situation where Dell delayed an order I placed well over 30 days -- then after the order was supposed to be cancelled, they shipped it anyway. I contacted them about sending it back - either refusing shipment or accepting the package and shipping it back -- they told me to accept the package and then call them to discuss restocking fees. The funny part was that they're the ones that provided me the link to FTC regulations that said it was mine if I wanted; I was just trying to do the right thing too.)

VABills Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If it was shipped via USPS you can keep it by law. UPS or FEDEX not the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 If it was shipped via USPS you can keep it by law. UPS or FEDEX not the same. That's not what the FTC website says: http://www.ftc.gov/b...s/adv/bus02.pdf Whether or not the Rule is involved, in any approval or other sale you must obtain the customer’s prior express agreement to receive the merchandise. Otherwise the merchandise may be treated as unordered merchandise. It is unlawful to:• Send any merchandise by any means without the express request of the recipient (unless the merchandise is clearly identified as a gift, free sample, or the like); or, • Try to obtain payment for or the return of the unordered merchandise. Moreover, customers who receive unordered merchandise are legally entitled to treat the merchandise as a gift. Using the U.S. mails to ship unordered merchandise also violates the Postal laws. Again, the rules are in place to stop companies from sending you something and demanding payment for it (or forcing you to return it at your cost if you don't buy it), and isn't really to cover accidental shipments like this TV incident, and I'm sure Amazon was more than happy to get their product back without charging anything extra.
