If Amazon sends you a duplicate delivery, do you feel oblig

Once they sent me 5 of something but only charged me for the one I actually ordered. I tried to tell them they sent me too many, so they credited my account for all of them... then I had to re explain that no I didn't want a refund, I don't need 4 extra Wii controllers, it took more emails than it should have to get the message across... probably not worth it.

More recently I ordered a book for a 3rd party seller, they sent the wrong one. They would credit my $6 if I sent the wrong book back, but didn't have the actual book in stock (used book) so I'd have to buy it somewhere else anyway. So I never sent the wrong book back... I figured it was my $6 and not worth driving to the UPS store...

I always call. I figure it's just good juju and i'll take all of that I can get.

My FIL ordered the kid's gifts through Amazon. DD#2 wanted a hammock - we received 3. DD#2&3 wanted bounce balls - we received 5. Oldest DD wanted a microscope and a lap loom - we received 2 of each. I asked FIL to verify that they didn't charge him because that is a LOT of extra packages. The shipments all came at different times and everything in individual boxes. Some of them were wrapped and some weren't. It's the weirdest thing and I hope he didn't jack it up because I don't want to deal with returning it all.

Yes, I would feel obligated to contact them & return if requested. I would be asking for UPS (or other services) to pick up from my home. If not possible, I would take to a UPS office while running errands.

Yes.

That's what they told me too.

We had a situation that they sent us two of a fairly expensive item. Even though I gave them the right address, it never arrived. I called and asked, they sent another one that arrived pronto. Then, a couple of days later, the original package showed up. Turns out it went to my parent's old address, where the owners then took it to my dad's brother's business, who then dropped it off at my dad's practice, and one of the assistants ran it by my parent's house on the way home. Small town weirdness.

I called Amazon and told them that we ended up with both and she told me to just keep it. We did and my mom found someone on the angel tree at her church that wanted the item so she donated the second one. 

Absolutely! Amazon has been so good at accepting returns... in addition, I could not enjoy anything that I have stolen. ( to me, keeping it would be theft by deception)

I usually always let someone know if I've received more than I ordered, primarily because I've had to reconcile inventory when I worked retail. Usually, I get to keep the extra, but I will be happy to return it if they make arrangements for me to do so at no cost and minimal inconvenience.

This one time, I ordered a baby monitor from Target off a registry for a shower. They cancelled it. But then it showed in stock. So I ordered it again. And they cancelled it again.

And then five showed up at my house.

All in separate boxes.

Never charged to my card.

Then I tried to TAKE THEM BACK TO TARGET, which they could not handle because there was no valid order attached to the invoice. The poor customer service girl called Target herself. They couldn't tell her what to do. She finally said, "Well, they said you can keep them, or I can take them from you and do something with them."

Since apparently, as far as Target was concerned, they never sent them to me and they apparently weren't missing five, I kept 'em. (And gave them all to the intended recipient-- it was her first kid and she was excited to get all of them, because it meant she could keep one at home and have one to travel and take one to all of the new grandparents' houses.)

I agree. Mistakes happen.

Once they told me to keep the item. Once they asked me to return it. It's really not much hassle.

I'd ask the company to send me a UPS pickup notice instead of a standard return label. That way you don't have to deal with the hassle of a drop off.

Yes. We ordered a TV a few years ago, and it was delivered a day early... then again on the delivery date. I'm amazed at how many people asked what we were going to do with our "extra" TV?!!

We called and asked what to do, and they asked us to return it to the local store. If they had wanted us to keep it, they would have said so.

I ordered 5 gift cards this week. They sent me 6. I called & they told me to keep it.

I've never had them ask for an item back.

Yes, would return it. It takes less than five minutes to print the return label and contact for pickup. My UPS dropoff is next to a Store I frequent so that might be another five,if I didn't have them pickup.

I wouldn't feel obligated or rushed, but there's no harm in understanding mistakes can happen and helping. I hope for the same cooperation when others deal with me.
