if i put $300 in the mail, and send it to you, and you keep it, is it theft? so how the hell can u tell this guy he's committing theft? if may be morally and ethically wrong sure, but he's not stealing. they are the ones that screwed up. sure he should send it back, but would you? honestly? if you thought you would never be charged for it? i doubt most of you would. how many ppl here are willing to jump on a hot deal that is clearly a pricing erro.... plenty if HD is any indication. -Krugger

Your analogy doesn't match the situation mentioned here. A more fitting one would be "I sent you $300 in the mail BY ACCIDENT. If you know that what I did was an accident, and you decide keep the money anyway, is it theft?" I'm not a lawyer, but ethically speaking the answer seems to be yes.

thanks. that's what i had meant originally, but i wasn't clear by saying accidentally. and i wasn't talking ethics either, just talking to the people that said he was committing theft. anyways, good to hear he's getting it sent back.

I'd keep it, they make enough profit. You tried to do the right thing, and they thought you were stupid. If you don't want it, sel it on ebay.

Now there's a winning attitude. I hope you never buy anything from any company I own or work for.

Tell them you were shipped one by mistake. Taking advantage of Dell or any company will only lead to higher prices for other consumers.

Do the right thing.

He already called and said that he wanted to return it. If the person didn't listen then too bad. Its not your fault that they shipped you something by accident. Maybe call back and tell them, or just order your next comp from them and let them rip you off back.
