Who you kidding??? I think most people would keep quiet. If contacted then give back, otherwise say nothing.
Suppose it depends how much its worth !

Do you really need two of them and is it really worth the risk of taking a big dry one if they accuse you of theft?

Ring up and tell them,unless it's very valuable most mail order companies will tell you to keep both,it's just not worth the bother of
trying to get the second delivery back and you will feel good about your honesty. Live has a way of balancing these things out,you will win the
lottery next week.

I'd email them to ask them what they want to do.
If it's low(ish) value they they'll probably be happy for you to keep it, if they want you to send it back (i.e. it's high value)
make sure they pay P&P before you send it (or they collect at some time convenient for you). What you really want to avoid is them charging your
CC for a second time - check before you contact them, if they do that nail them.
Edit: I say email as it costs you nothing and phoning up will just generate huge confusion and cost you money.

I would definitely ring them Monday. Nothing feels like a clear conscience, plus they might just tell you to keep the extra one anyway.
I'm not scared!!! I'm just marking my territory.

Ditto - we've had things like that. 9 times out of 10 they say keep the extra one because it's too much cost and/or admin hassle to
process a return

If you didn't return it then you would be being dishonest. Taking advantage of another's genuine mistake. What would you say if the firm
eventually realises it's error and takes action? I chose to shaft you cos I thought I could get away with it? Your choice, your conscience but
don't kid yourself.

Tell them. A single person can't drastically change the world, but you can try to be honest and do the right thing, If more people did it would
make things better.
As said they might let you keep it or they might come back for it, don't pay for postage as it's there mistake.

I agree.
Unless it came from a 'person' such as one of the suppliers to our hobbie and not a faceless company.

Yep, defo ring them up. As already said, what do you lose, if they want it, they pay the postage. If not, you win. But most of all you keep a clear
conscience
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

We had a parcel delivered to my house (no7)
that had my address, but not our name
we did not sign for it,
just a knock on the door, and by the time we got there it was just left in the porch, and the driver was allready in the van and halfway off our
drive
My wife thought she knew the name, and was right, they lived at no 17
so parcel given to them
I wish we had kept it, as it was £1500 worth of laptop
So now if anything comes to my door, we will keep it

im impressed by how many people suggest honesty really, i'm generally honest but i suspect that i wouldnt be bothered messing about sending it
back. I dont have time to write invoices, never mind time to give stuff away!
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

I'd call them - just make sure the collection isn't at your inconvienience.
Had one company once insist i post it back to them (it was 10 cds from someone elses order i'd got by mistake. I said no problem, they insisted
it was first class. I said what if it gets lost in the post, they said its my problem. I pointed out that if they'll pay for recorded delivery
i'll happily do that. They refused and threatened me that i had to return the goods.
So i did, first class........ I got my cd's the next day, no idea if it they got theirs, couldn't care less.

I ordered a towbar for the barge a year or so back. One of the threads to bolt it to the chassis was gummed up so I called them up and they sent a
replacement. The second one got delayed in the post so I ended up chasing the thread through myself and fitting the 1st one.
When the 2nd one turned up, while I was out, I called up and told them to arrange a courier to come and collect it back. After 3 months it was still
sitting in my garage so I called them again and they told me to keep it. I sold it to a lad on another forum for half price so we both got half price
towbars.

They're not going to come after you if you have two by mistake. The person who processed the order earns minimun wage so they don't give a
rat's ass.
I am too much of a pu$$y in these situations and would call anyway, but i dont think anything will happen if you don't so it's totally
your decision.
Good luck (hope you get both)  lol
