OK,

Well some of you may remember the garden furniture saga from 2 weeks ago. It unfolds more now.

I ordered one from woolworths 74.99. Found one cheaper @ LX direct, so cancelled the woolworths one, they refunded me last week, money in account. Still waiting for the LX direct one to arrive.

Today the woolworths one has turned up... now... do I keep it and keep schtum? HAvent paid for the LX direct one yet... :confused:
:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Hmmmm toughie... I guess it depends on whether you had to sign for it or not ;) and how honest you are feeling :)

    I'd be tempted, but I think ultimately it has to be your choice :)

    Keeping it would be stealing. Should be a simple decision I would think especially if you have ever had anything of your own stolen.

    I would let them know. They will know you have got it if you have to sign for it anyway.

    I think if you had to sign for them they will know that you have got them. May take them a while, but it could be one of those horrible things where you think they've forgotten it and they send you a big bill after a while when you're least expecting it and don't have the money budgeted to pay for it.

    Lynzpower - I'm disapointed in you that you actually asked the question!! If you had already cancelled the order why didnt you refuse delivery?

    I can appreciate that people are in debt, but there's no need for dishonesty!! :mad: But perhaps thats just me...

    I'd call them in that case and advise them that a cancelled order has been delivered :) also ask them how soon they can pick them up as they are seriously in the way and you'd like them picked up by the end of today. If they are not gone by tomorrow you will charge them storage :)
