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...

It may be important if it is a smart phone or similar item, in which case it may become as useful as a chocolate teapot when the vendor blocks it believing it stolen.
You have no legal right to keep the item and no legal right to a reward for honesty. You do risk prosecution for theft if they report it as stolen.

I didn't say you were a benefit scrounger. How is it asking for something for nothing for doing good? What good are you doing? You just want to keep something that is not yours for yourself and you are looking for people to validate your decision so that you don't feel bad about it. It's hardly 'living an honest life' IMO.
@sharrack again, have I said I am keeping it, have I said i am not going to return it, think you will find the answer if NO!!. And for your information have finally got through to the company. They are giving me 40% off my next shop for the inconvenience caused to me, and are collecing the IPAD2 tomorrow via courier. The question is now what do I spend my 40% discount on.
