Well spotted!

Now correct me if I'm wrong but I think that happens when one person has two different identities on a thread in order to give themselves a bit of support.

Looks like they forgot who they were logged in as when they answered their own question...... oh dear! :rotfl:

Explains all the mutual Thanks on this thread too.

Lol sorry but i am not that sad!!!! :rolleyes:

The 2 posts were made to different people.

I was thanked cos people agree with me!!!

Taxiphil - what is your interpretation of the legal definition of 'unsolicited goods'?
Presumably by your definition, if RM accidentally deliver my neighbour's credit card to me, I am entitled to use it as I never actually asked for it? Or if the man across the road takes delivery of a CD whilst I am out, he can keep it because he didn't order it?

You don't know that it was human error. Like I said, it might have been sharp practice to sell another sofa. This kind of thing goes on in certain industries where people are trying to meet sales targets etc.

If any company was stupid enough to send me an item worth hundreds of pounds without me asking for it, I'd have absolutely no sympathy for them, and I'd use the law to my full advantage.

They key word in there is might. So they keep it because it might have all been a big con from the company? :rolleyes:

Like someone else said - they asked the op to send it back - they did not demand payment - unless the op keeps it which i think is fairly reasonable seeing how the op has been dishonest about the whole thing.

I only posted because I wondered whether in those circumstances, she would be charged, and how that calculation would be done

a) a deductable for wear & tear (but then the company have to try and get rid of a second hand sofa as her sitting on it 20 times would render it unsaleable as new) or
b) whether they would charge her the full amount.

Of course anyone with more brain cells than an amoeba would know that if you get an unexpected replacement sofa delivered that you ring them and get the company to get it off your land ASAP!

MMMmmm. I'm hungry.... If Abel & Cole had delivered next door's goods to me, and my mate had signed for them, would I be allowed to eat two biscuits out of the pack as storage fee...

Blindingly obvious difference isn't it?

A credit card for your neighbour has their name on the envelope! Therefore it is clearly the property of your neighbour. If it is misdelivered you should pass it on to your neighbour or return to sender.

If you take delivery of a parcel for your neighbour, the same thing applies. The delivery agent appoints you as a custodian but never implies that the parcel is your property. Again, the recipient's name is on the parcel!

The sofa in question was delivered to the correct person. It's just that the person didn't order it. Hence unsolicited goods.

Simple!

Hope my response brightened up your day as much as you were hoping!

Had the OP already had a refund for the sofa that was faulty before this one arrived???
