goods received in error
65 Answers
we ordered some items from mail order and as a thank you we were suppose to receive some chocolates. Instead of the chocolates as displayed on the advice note we received a very expensive electronic gadget. Please could someone tell me is this a human error in our favour or do we have to return.

The company are collecting tomorrow. The person who was awaiting the item has contacted saying all they have received is a box of chocolates (well the advisor was limited in what she told me due to data protection). Also a new box of truffles is on its way to us. A 40% discount on the order that I placed has been applied (i thought it was on future order), but...

There is no legal right to a reward but you can ask for one- they may send a small gift as thank you for the inconvenience
I know you didn't ask this but I couldn't use it in case I damage it and they then ask for it back or its use is traced to me

It makes me wonder how people can go on about benefit scroungers, etc (not saying it has been mentioned on this thread), yet a vast number of people want something for nothing and think its ok. From a legal point of view, I thought you had to inform the company and for them to tell you how they would like it returned, it's not like finders keepers.
I once took delivery of a very expensive phone on behalf of my downstairs neighbour. Took it to her that evening and she had no idea about it! Turns out it was delivered to the wrong block of flats. I did try to contact the vendor, with no joy, so kept it for ages not knowing what to do! Finally gave it to my nephew. :-))
