If a company sends you two of something do you have to return one?

[shortalias]

If you ordered 2 and they sent 1, you would soon be crying down the phone wanting your other one!! Just send it back!!

It does not apply to errors like your situation. You did indeed place an order with the company, and they made an error by double shipping it. They are within their rights to request the item back (at their expense, of course) or you could be billed for it.

I believe after 30 or 90 days, they can no longer legally bill you for the item.

Because the original poster asked for legal proof, not opinions. Cliche statement? lol, maybe in your world everyone you *thought* committed a crime would be locked up... but this is reality. I'll be back later to read what your next excuse will be, I'm off to the gym.

I believe that's true.

And Sp33ddemon, you're being a tool.

I ordered an a/v rack, and I had both a free shipping and a $50 coupon code. I was under the impression that you could stack them, but after entering the free ship code it wouldn't let me enter the other. So I pressed "Back" and entered the $50 off code instead.

Instead of overwriting the old code, it not only stacked them but factored in the free shipping TWICE, giving an extra $21 off (my "shipping cost" was -$21.00).

I didn't really think about it until the next day when I got my order confirmation, and even then I figured they'd give me call if there was a problem. Nope, they shipped it and mailed me a printed order statement separately.

Part of me wants to call them and at least tell them that they over-credited me $20 for shipping, but the other part of me is telling me to keep the good deal to myself.

Yes that would be called stealing. Remind me to never buy/sell with you in FS/FT forum...

Uh, because their software mischarged me for the item?

Also this has nothing to do with any of my actions in FS/T as my 175 positive feedback can attest. Stop being such a self-righteous asshole.

I want legal answers here, none of the morals right now.

If they ask you to return it, are you required to send one back?

If one is on the invoice...fvck it instant profit.

That's what I know of it.

Impossible implications, you should not use them, they don't help you prove your point. They only help you look like a jackass.

He can only fall back on what he knows.

What company did you order these beauties from?

 

[amnesiac]

Oh, by the way, I just called the company and notified them of the error. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

What site was this?

A friend received two notebooks from Dell. He returned the first one (DOA), and he got a new one and the one that was repaired. He returned one of them, or so he says

ripped you off, legally or not.

do you want to add to the sum total of evil in the world, or good?

Look, if the person/company really cares about it, they'll give me a call. If they don't give me a call or ask for it back, its their problem. Should they call and ask for it, I would consider it, but if they don't give me a call or ask about it, it's their problem, not mine.

i ordered a HD from a company, but received a case of 5.
they didn't know what they had shipped me until i called them. i sent 4 of them back
because it was the RIGHT THING TO DO and that's how i'd
want to be treated if i had screwed up.

i don't know what the legal answer is, but
i couldn't feel good doing anything else.

How about you just return it since it's the right thing to do?

sweet thread by the way.

Edit: Eh, I now see that Spamela replied way before me. Either way, get a clue, noob

Thanks for doing the right thing after the advice, especially since you're selling a lot of stuff in that sig link.

Thanks for the flame, but you have yet to provide evidence of your "opinion" as well, so doesn't that make you the "TOOL"? lol

 

[Spencer278]

Just keep it. When was the last a store ever called you up because they messed up on there prices. Maybe send a thank you letter for the free gift.

 

[iwearnosox]

Legally you don't have to return it, nor can they bill you for it. They may try to, however, or they might ask for it back.

what z680????
