# OT: Grrr...ethical dilemma...step up Judge Judys :-)

Posted by Uncle Pete (89 SE) on October 04, 2003 at 07:57:40: OK, a few months back I got a surprise package of about £80 worth of blank CD media that I didn't order. It was clearly addressed to me, but the invoice inside was to a guy who lived further up my street, but with the same post(zip)code. The supplier called me up, explained that the accounts got mixed up and would I mind handing over the stuff. I'm a reasonable guy, so I did with a good grace. Yesterday I get an attempted delivery at my house. There was no-one in so I had to go and collect the package. The depot was on the other side of the river, so this involved basically an hour of my time and £2.40 in tolls. Imagine my rage when I find out that it's actually an order for the guy up my street, once again addressed to me. Anyway, it was a fairly small order for only £30 worth of stuff which, to be honest, I could use. As far I'm concerned they can f*** off - I'm keeping the stuff. Once is a genuine mistake. Twice is carelessness. Maybe I'm overreacting at being dragged over to the Wirral on a Saturday morning on someone else's behalf. Any thoughts?
