Re: iMac delivered in error: Honesty?

Call them again, explain the situation clearly again to a different person and ask them what they want you to do. Log the name, time and date of the person you speak to. Then keep the imac for at least a month, in the box. At which time treat it as yours.

Re: iMac delivered in error: Honesty?

No brainer!

No need for a discussion.

If you had to ask you know the answer.

Make your life simple.

Give it back - asap.

Whether they know they want it back or not.

Its not yours.

Like the butterfly or is it fairy said...karma and stuff.

If I were to receive an Imac by error, I will kindly return it immediately, along with a note asking for a PC instead

Re: iMac delivered in error: Honesty?

I wonder how the iMac story ended.
Anyway, I ordered cat stuff from zooplus.de and got this massive and heavy package which I could hardly lift. I had paid duty and all the handling costs as I always do, the DHL guy had left and I proceeded to open it. What I found inside was five times as much cat food as we had ordered.
I wrote to zooplus, who sugested that I should send it back and they will refund me the postage costs. Well, this is what I’ve been trying to avoid from the start: carrying heavy packages which I can have delivered instead. I suggested that I would cover the cost of extra food instead, because it seems to be the most convenient option. They haven’t got back to me yet.
