    Now that you have contacted them wait until you hear back, they will probably send you a return postage label or cover the cost of sending the item back tracked...
    Wish all buyers were like you :)

    Very refreshing to come across somebody so honest. Well done you. It's people such as yourself that help make the world a bit of a better place to live in than it might otherwise be.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Why the judgement? Nothing ever gone wrong in your life? Perfect are you?

    Cut the OP some slack and just give assistance if you can, rather than going searching for something to throw in his face, probably because you have nothing better to do.

    If you have nothing nice to say, best say nothing at all. Follow that simple mantra and you will at least appear to be a nice person.
    Still striving to be mortgage free before I get to a point I can't enjoy it.

    I'll take the extra Xbox one if he doesn't get back to you? :D I've currently just went on benefits and in this current climat, with the growing divide between classes these things happen there's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't mean we wouldn't be able to make a little money here and now, every now and then.

    I don't really care what people on benefits spend their money on. Its their money at the end of the day. What does bother me are people trying to make out people on benefits are living in poverty and have to decide between food and heating.

    My sister regularly shops in Marks and Spencer despite being an unemployed single mother. She also uses her local Food Bank as she is entitled to.

    As for the OP. I am sure the seller will gladly get the Xbox One back. Although I worry for their business if they can accidently send out two to the same person.
