New Phone mess up

Long story but shorten version ... All done on-line ....brought phone from Curry's on interest free credit, with a very good trade in.... only to be informed that the phone isn't in stock ... later won't ever be in stock, did I want to cancel ... cancellation form submitted. I then brought the same phone from Samsung ... interest free credit ... Today both phones turned up. The dilemma ... Curry's offered a better trade in of around £200 ... extra £150 plus £50 more for the phone. Morally the Curry's phone should be returned but the pull is the extra money I could receive ... Do I go with my head ... Money/Curry or heart Samsung Thanks for any guidance/comments

    I’m not understanding the question. What is the moral issue here? Which one of them to return?
    If you bought online and you have cancellation rights for both, I would simply return the one that’s the less good deal. 


    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Be aware that offered trade in may not be what you receive. All depends on quality of phone being returned.

    This, absolutely, but having to deal with Currys procedures for uncancelling a cancelled order involving a trade-in would give me pause for thought, given I know how much grief was involved in simply returning a 20 quid phone case.
