    Absolutely not! Sorry, but I'm not prepared to lift a finger to return unsolicited goods. Rubbish at that!

  • For unsolicited goods (assuming it really was addressed to you and not a postal mistake) there's no need to do anything. It's your property to do what you want with as soon as it was put through your letter box. Just bin it, I would.

    That's the reply I wanted to hear! I simply am not prepared to invest time or expense in returning something I didn't ask for and don't want!

    It does seem that you are really asking "Can I sell the item on Ebay?".

    No is the answer. At least not yet.

    Why not? There's no time period on unsolicited goods.

    So basically you only want replies as long as they are what you want to hear? So why bother posting here in the first place...priceless!

    My mention of selling the DVD on eBay was "tongue-in-cheek". I doubt if it would be worth bothering with.

    As far as I can see from the link provided by Superscaper, there is no time limit on unsolicited goods, so I could eBay the item if I could be bothered!

    Not correct. I wanted to know my legal position, not guesses. Superscaper has provided a definitive answer with legal backup via a link.

    I want to make life difficult for unscrupulous random mailers, but I do not want to end up in the Small Claims Court!

    Is it possible they made a mistake? You should at least let them know.
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
