You should probably box 'em back up with a note:

To whom it may concern:

There seems to be a small miscommunication. Thank you for sending me these tapes, but they are not what I ordered. Please send me:
(1) HALO2 T-shirt
(1) 350lb water buffalo

Thank you,

But I never signed up for it😕 DO I have to now?😕 I don;t have $$$

The honest thing to do would be to find out who sent it to you, contact them, and send it back...

If they don't want it/don't care, it's yours.

That's because it doesn't become a HotDeal anymore if you get a larger one, the shipping costs just kill the deal.
