These are not unsolicitated goods, they don't even remotely fall into that category. They're stolen goods that are currently in your possession. You now have a duty of care for these goods, like it or not.
Arrange a time for the goods to be picked up, but don't sell them without written permission from woolworths. Reselling them comes under the Theft Act of 1968
"Any assumption by a person of the rights of an owner amounts to an appropriation, and this includes, where he has come by the property (innocently or not) without stealing it, any later assumption of a right to it by keeping or dealing with it as owner."0
