Money Moral Dilemma: I was sent free beer by mistake - should I keep it?

Contax the company, let them know what happened and that you happy to make the extra order available for them to collect .
they will either tell you to keep it, or arrange for it to be collected.
I had a very similar issue recently when a company sent me a partially incorrect order - I didn't get one of the items I had ordered, got something else which I had not ordered. In my case, the company replaced the missing item and told me they did not require the wrong one to be returned or collected (it was no use to me, so I gifted it to someone who could use it)All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -

Keep it and drink it, karma will bite you in the you know where. Happened to my brother, found a bundle of money in the street, should have taken it to the cop shop. No, kept it. He had seven years' bad luck. Well, not seven years but so many things went wrong for him that he said he'd never do it again. Best to be honest, stealing isn't clever or funny. I feel sorry for you.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.
