£15,000 of goods sent to me in error?

I have been sent £15,000 worth of goods (wholesale price) in error. Somebody has purchsed these goods and the seller has incorrectly put my name and address on the delivery note.

My 14 year old son signed for them from UPS as they were addressed to me. now the seller is ringing me frantically to get them redirected. What are my rights?

    Errr, none. They were sent to you in error. Why do you think you may have any rights to goods which someone else has paid for?

    An honest mistake was made by the seller

    If you take the goods it will count as theft, As they are not yours. You have no rights over them atall. Except the right to remain silent if you do choose to keep them *hint hint*

    You will have to contact the company regarding this, you shouldn't be out of pocket for sending them back

    If you use the goods/sell them you may become liable for them
