    A website sent me the wrong merchandise, do I tell them?

    Online shopping is pretty unpredictable sometimes.

    A friend ordered the new Tori Amos CD for me from one of those online shopping giants. When I got home on tuesday, there was this huge box from them, entirely too large for a CD. When I opened it up, there was the new Lord of The Rings Two Towers box set with a Gollum figurine. Thats worth like$60 where as the CD is worth about $15. I already went out and bought the CD. Do I tell them?

    The invoice says "Tori Amos- Tales of a Librarian"

    no prices b/c it was a gift but he says he paid the price of the CD.

    I would drop them an email, but say you don't care, as you'd rather have LOTR. They won't care either. Simple mistake.

    yes, it will end up costing them more to have to pay for shipping to retrieve their item and then ship you the Tori CD you were originally supposed to get

    Never look a gift horse in the mouth. In other words, keep it.

    see thats what i thought but i never had this experience before so I wasnt sure and I am not gonna pay for return shipping, that would be their department.

    of course they will. and if they don't just refuse to send it back. they're not going to send over a swat team or anything.

    When I got my laptop, Dell shipped me two printers instead of one. So I called them and told them they could have it back and they said they would send a label and etc with Airborne Express... But label and AE never showed, so I gave the extra printer to my friend Jess. It doesn't hurt to call and let them know. I'm sure they will end up just telling you to keep it.

    Yes! I don't know how they screwed it up, but they never called back... I did my part! I was honest!

    You should definitely call to let them know, some poor LOTR fan is probably staring at your Tori cd right now thinking WTF!?!
