GoPro Dilemma

Nick Cod

Afternoon All

Didn’t really know where to post this so apologies if it’s in the wrong place, mods please move if you like

So my younger brother is deploying with the Royal Navy later this month and not back until May next year. While he’s away he’s turning 30 so my Mum and I decided to club together and got him a GoPro Hero 3 White

I wanted it in plenty of time so made sure I ordered it well before he was due to depart. So the GoPro was originally scheduled to be here last Friday but the tracking details given to me by the retailer were not showing on the courier website. The lady I spoke to was very apologetic and said don’t worry we’ll despatch you another, should be with you early next week (this week) and no charge. No problem I thought

So Monday came and the GoPro arrived safely. Now here’s the dilemma, it seems looking at my online order details cross matched with the paperwork the one that turned up on Monday was the original order thought lost and not five minutes ago I’ve had the second one turn up which was the replacement. Now I haven’t done anything malicious or intentionally tried to rip anyone off but I’m sat in the middle of a bit of a moral dilemma, part of me thinks do I contact the seller and have them arrange a collection or is the likelihood is they will write this off?

I’m thinking contact them and at least give them the opportunity to pick it up at least then I’ll sleep a little easier at night and if they can’t be bothered I at least notified them of their error

I should add both items were signed for

Thoughts??

I should add both items were signed for

contact the seller.

If you feel the need to ask, you know what to do.
Just do it.

Contact them and if they don't collect you are ultimately allowed to "dispose" of it.

Give it back. Keeping it is theft.

Our postie quite often 'signs' for our stuff and then dumps it on the door step :roll:

I'm sure I'll get a bollocking for this but I would keep quiet and if they ask for it back then I'd give it back, but if they didnt then I would keep it.

I agree. But the moral issue is what are you going to do with the other one. You bought it for his birthday and then you show up with one - that sort of degrades his birthday so send it to me.

Let me suggest to you that his seafaring friends will probably celebrate his birthday by getting him a ladyboy from some siamese low end bar and telling him that she is a really beautiful girl.

If that is the case and by mistake a second one turns up then are you going to keep it unless they ask for it back too?/

I'd let them know you have the second one but don't go out of your way to accommodate them. Tell them they've got to collect it at a certain time, otherwise you'll end up waiting in all day for a courier to pick up.
