Sent xbox one by mistake

You do know that in general, 63.654% of all stats are made up, closer to 100% on here i think.

99.99% associated with the stock control systems of "Most Big companies"

Is an actual figure......

Its clearly a made up figure associated with no actual companies. How you think anyone would take that statement and base any decision on it is mind boggling!

Still thats the problem with this forum. People make statements of vague statistics with actually no evidence to back it up. They then get all sensative when its rightly pointed out to be rubbish!

You're basically trying to claim that there is a 99.99% chance that the company who supplied the Xbox one in error to the OP will discover their mistake and charge him.

That is clearly not true.....

Why don't you speak to people who actually do it (inventory quality control) for a living and then ask them what their accuracy % is before you start throwing stones (glass houses and all that btw). It is not good for share prices if stock goes "missing" for any reason.

And no, thats not what I'm claiming at all. I even said it wasn't guaranteed to be found out. Its just wrong to first state that they had no way of knowing where they sent the xbox and also to say that if they don't spot it within 1-3 months, they never will.

OP has a chance to get away with it, there's a risk involved. And we can't (without making stuff up anyway) say how big the risk is because we don't know the required information.

That's good enough for them to win in court.

So using your argument had a brick packaged in a box and sent to the op with tracking and the retailer claimed an xbox was sent in error the tracking info would be proof enough for a court win?

There are plenty of people out there who claim that 99.9% inventory accuracy is achievable. Like these;

Too true. People decide to spout the first thing that comes into their head, rather than spend a minute on Google actually checking the facts for themselves.

On it's own, maybe not. However,

• an invoice from Microsoft for an Xbox One S/No 123/456789 delivered as part of consignment ref x on y date

• a delivery note confirming despatch of Xbox One S/No 123/456789 to Mr PelvisDentist of 17 Railway Cuttings, whatever

would probably do.

After all, all the judge has to do is ask Mr PelvisDentist the question; 'Do you have an Xbox One?' And when he answers in the affirmative, ask; 'What's the serial no?'

Judgement for the claimant plus costs I'd have thought.:)

Do we know there is a delivery note? I got the impression the paper work was for the original item but the wrong item has been despatched.

Just to confirm, I received no delivery note or any sort of paperwork (Not for the ordered items either) with the item, not even a receipt.

The only sort of paperwork was an email confirmation of the items I ordered.

It's hard to give details without going into specifics and I'd rather avoid giving any specifics here. What I basically received though was a bag with the company name on with an xbox one and 2 games inside it, not packed as you'd expect a regular parcel to be, as it wasn't a regular courier.

Well you keep it then if there's no paper trail you've never had it.

But if you read the OP the ordered item was not an xbox, so where you get a dispatch note confirming this I fail to see?

Could be a problem when he goes online though.
