I ordered “garden furniture A” from Amazon. After they missed the expected delivery window they cancelled the order and refunded me. 
I was disappointed, but ordered “garden furniture B” from a different seller on Amazon. 
Garden furniture B arrived-hooray!
…but then garden furniture A arrived a couple of days later. 
So now I now I essentially have BOGOF!! 😂

My concious is telling me to contact Amazon to let them know they have delivered furniture that they have refunded me.
However, it is their mistake. I know lots of people who would gladly take the extra set of furniture off my hands. 

What are my rights? 
Their fault, their loss??

    Contact Amazon as it’s theft otherwise. 

    Pmd the team to move to an actual board on Monday as it’s currently not been posted on one

    It sounds nice, an extra set “free,” BUT it is not yours, and your duty is to inform the seller of their mistake, and to ask them to arrange for it to be collected.
