I didn't? If the company consistantly makes mistakes like this, refusing to allow a customjer to retun somehting, then there must be a reason why the company is failing, be it poor managment or workes and supervision. The list could go on. If I tried to return somehting, and they told me I couldn't, reguardless of the company, I'd be like oh well, you're loss. But, I was saying they make so much money that I wouldn't feel guilty about it. You tried, what else can you do? Why should you waste your time for their mistake?

So your reasoning makes it morally acceptable to keep the product, it's no wonder our prisons are full.

I used a one time use Amex number, which expired 3/2003. When I placed and cancelled the order it was 3/20ish/2003... There was never a hold before or after I cancelled the order. I don't think they can bill me through the cc now. So i'm waiting for a bill or a collections letter.

No, I would, apparently there are a lot of dishonest people here, company or not, it's not your property.

what if you had to pay for shipping? So now you not only got somehitg you didn't want, but you have to pay to give it back to them? Unless you didn't open it and put return to sender, shipping an LCD could be expensive.

Now you're just trying to justify keeping it. Dell always pay for shipping back.

Technically it?s his property. He got something from the company that he didn't request. Remember he cancel the order. By him canceling the order and the shipping it to him anyway it indicates that they want him to have it anyway as a gift there for he is under no obligation to send it back.

The CSR was litterally arguing with me, she kept asking me if I gave her the right order number. She says she can't do a return because it was cancelled. I told her i'm just trying to return something I didn't pay for... she was rude, so I hung up after she bugged me about the order number for the millionth time.

Hmm, interesting...

If the hold was placed against that number they have 30 days to either place the charge or drop the hold. If the number expired on 03/03 I would think 4/30 would be the last day to reasonably expect a charge.

The fact that it was a one time use number makes things much more complicated.

Why the one time number with Dell?

One times are great for porn sites (you know, the $2.99 trial and then the $30 a month, nevermind the fact you used an image downloader to grab the entire site...), but for Dell?

Yup, they do. Perhaps if you were nice about it, they might give you like a $25 rebate or coupon or something. Maybe not, but you know the saying, "One good deed deserves another."

Just return it and put your conscience at ease.

My personally question is who cares about morality? The only thing that I care is legality. Is it technically legal or not under the law to keep the product. Is it moral or immoral is irrelevant.

Glad to see at least some people have a moral compass. I would send it back period. Make sure they send a label and then send it back.

This is exactly why America is slowly going into the trash, no morals.

Hey, let me steal your car, stereo and anything else you have, no big deal, I have no morals !

OK, knock my spelling, I never claimed to spell. I thought when he said he contacted the company he made a point of telling them what he had. If I had tried to contact the company, and tell them of their error, and they were rude to me and told me they didn't send anything, and they have no record of sending me anything, that's not my fault. It's not stealing, and therefore I wouldn't go to jail. I told the company I did not want the object, yet they sent it to me anyway. I told them again I did not want the object, and they said they never gave it to me. What else are you supposed to do? As mentioned above, I am not going to pay extra money to ship it back for something I never wanted and the companies fault on top of it all. When I made the comment about the company being rich, the point was they probably would never even notice, and therefore I wouldn't be worried about it. I would feel badly if it was a failing company, but then, I doubt I would buy somehting from a failing computer company. So that point is moot.

Again, attack my logic and not my spelling. I don't proof read what I type, and I don't really care. If this was a professional letter to a company etc, I would. It's a fourm, and an off topic one at that.

i Don?t have the link but I remember reading on USPS website that. Don't know if it applies to other shipper companies but would be surprised if it didn't

He will eventually get billed one way or another, I am just pointing out that the majority of young people here have no morlas what so ever

Did you happen to notice the ;) after the spelling comment ?

The shipper has absolutely nothing to do with the current laws in the U.S.

Even if he is charge he can still dispute it with his cc due to the fact that he cancelled the order in the first place.

Wow, it really is freaky the lack of morals some of you 'normal citizens' have. You try to justify theft as long as you can get away with it. You're the type that would probably be looting if you were in Iraq, since there is no government, there is no laws.

Not quite as big a leap as you might think. There were plenty of what appeared like normal citizens looting in Iraq... some even made it a family event.

Excuse me, this can be consider as gift and if under the law its says you don't have to pay for a gift then he is under no obligation to pay for this gift or send it back.

P.S. don't remember if its the same company but about 6 month or so ago on fatwallet.com a guy a monitor from I think dell for free after paying for the first one.

Sadly, most people only have morals when others are watching. They abide by the law only for fear of getting caught, not because stealing is wrong.

So far you have only posted conjecture.
