Title: Dilema
Post by: sulky_uk on September 25, 2015, 01:04:12 PM
So I ordered something of the tinterweb and at checkout opted for Royal Mail special delivery. I received an email with a tracking number and a delivery date for Wednesday.

So wednesday came and went as I called the wife and she said it hadn't been delivered. I check the tracker and there was no such item. I called the company yesterday morning and they said " it wasn't dispatched as we have no Royal Mail special delivery labels, we will ship it dpd for delivery tomorrow"

just got got a call from the wife, item delivered, cool I thought, 10 mins later she called again, the postman had delivered another one on standard post with no tracking

50% of me says own up and tell them, but the other says, well they were Idiots...

By by the way I'm the guy who doesn't even Nick free pens in work for fear of getting caught...

I'd be tempted to contact them and let them know. It may not be worth their while to arrange return collection and they'll tell you to keep it.
Even if the do collect it you will feel better because you did the honest thing rather than be a thieving git.

I'm thinking that, it's worth over £250 so they will want it back

Meh, keep it packaged, and if they want it back that much, they'll ask you for it. If not, happy days.

Phone 'em up and tell them you still haven't received it :devil:


Seriously, go the 'honest' route. After all, 'cheating' is not something any of us would do in-game so you could apply that ethos to RL too  :flirty:

I got sent a random Kindle Paperwhite form amazon, Inside was the invoice, it was meant for someone else.

I rang amazon and they collected it next day, but if it hadn't been a kindle they would have let me keep it (for myself or to give to charity).

I say do the honest thing, you'll sleep better for it. But there mistake so they should come get it, you shouldn't have to make a trip to the post office.

You were, you just needed that little devil and little angel that is the dMw collective opinion to make your mind up :) It's tempting to have spare executive toy but hey, you are doing the right thing!

Well the fact you're even posting it here intimated you had pretty much already decided what you were going to do..... good call.

What was it btw?

SLI opportunity! I can see the full dilema now! If it was a Kindle it wouldn't be so much of a temptation but 2 gfx cards can be used. Make and model? What website was it?

To be honest I doubt the NCA are trawling the interweb trying to find you. :flirty:

So i called the said company up today and told them about the 2nd card. i told them the the first card arrived in a white envelope (the wife binned the envelope as she thought that was no need in keeping it) but it had no invoice. The wife actually commmented that she had to rip the envelope apart to see if there was an invoice. I them told them that the 2nd one arrived in a  box with a invoice. They said we only have one on the system sent to you. I said well where did it come from ? He replied not from us..looks like you got a free card there mate.......

Now what?

Possibly the request got sent back to manufacteror and then when you asked where it was the company sent you one ???

You did all you could do. You contacted them and they basically told you that they are not concerned about the second card. I would now try SLI and see what frame rates you can get.

i deccied to give them one last try and they finally realised it  was thiers so back it goes.

If after that attempt they had have said no i would have ordered an SLI motherboard

too honest for my own good

You see there are rewards for being honest.
