Especially since the law says that if someone sends you something you didn't order, it's yours. (And yes, I think this is the rock upon which this idea will founder.) Warning: IANAL.
But doesn’t that only apply to the US Post Office?
“Especially since the law says that if someone sends you something you didn’t order, it’s yours. (And yes, I think this is the rock upon which this idea will founder.) Warning: IANAL.”
I am certainly no lawyer but from my days in Biz Law classes this was the case. If you are sent something, specifically to your address with your name on it, that you did not intentionally enter into a contract for.......it’s yours. Bang. Bad on the shipper. They cannot and should not ask for it back.
Now, if you receive something mis-addressed or with someone else’s name on it you should in all good conscience contact the shipper for correction and re-delivery but if they never know it I guess it’s just your lucky day.
