JoeFerguson Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 I have had duplicate shipments from Amazon. When I read this thread I thought it was a joke and was surprised by all the people who took the bait.
Chef Jim Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 It belongs to the universe now... Are you stoned again, because you sound stoned again In case anyone misses crayonz.
Chef Jim Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Am I too late to get in on this? No, not at all. PM me with your CC information and we'll get this deal done!
Beerball Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 No, not at all. PM me with your CC information and we'll get this deal done! Done. You pay shipping, right?
Fezmid Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 How does anyone who has read your posts here think you would do anything other than this? Hell, let's take honesty out of the equation. Only a dumbass would hold onto or re-sell a plasma TV sent to them by mistake and think that no one would ultimately be the wiser. Legally speaking, if they really did accidentally ship him two televisions, he's under no obligation to send one back; the FTC considers it a "gift." That said, the "moral" thing to do is to send it back. (I had a situation where Dell delayed an order I placed well over 30 days -- then after the order was supposed to be cancelled, they shipped it anyway. I contacted them about sending it back - either refusing shipment or accepting the package and shipping it back -- they told me to accept the package and then call them to discuss restocking fees. The funny part was that they're the ones that provided me the link to FTC regulations that said it was mine if I wanted; I was just trying to do the right thing too.)
Chef Jim Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 Done. You pay shipping, right? Uhhh, sure. You send me your debit card number and PIN I'll have it beamed to you in 3 minutes.
Beerball Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Uhhh, sure. You send me your debit card number and PIN I'll have it beamed to you in 3 minutes. <rubs hands together vigorously>Daddy's got a new flatscreen at a rock bottom price.
Just Jack Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 <rubs hands together vigorously>Daddy's got a new flatscreen at a rock bottom price. Pssst.... it's a scam, he's gonna send you a brick with "Ha ha!" written on it. Don't ask how I know, just accept it as truth.

PaattMaann Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 I cant believe my thread about taking this flat screen off Chefs porch got locked......the nerve....
Hammered a Lot Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Put it on the porch to be picked up this morning so you can STFU now. And you can too. Nice advice.
VABills Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 If it was shipped via USPS you can keep it by law. UPS or FEDEX not the same.
Fezmid Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 If it was shipped via USPS you can keep it by law. UPS or FEDEX not the same. That's not what the FTC website says: http://www.ftc.gov/b...s/adv/bus02.pdf Whether or not the Rule is involved, in any approval or other sale you must obtain the customer’s prior express agreement to receive the merchandise. Otherwise the merchandise may be treated as unordered merchandise. It is unlawful to:• Send any merchandise by any means without the express request of the recipient (unless the merchandise is clearly identified as a gift, free sample, or the like); or, • Try to obtain payment for or the return of the unordered merchandise. Moreover, customers who receive unordered merchandise are legally entitled to treat the merchandise as a gift. Using the U.S. mails to ship unordered merchandise also violates the Postal laws. Again, the rules are in place to stop companies from sending you something and demanding payment for it (or forcing you to return it at your cost if you don't buy it), and isn't really to cover accidental shipments like this TV incident, and I'm sure Amazon was more than happy to get their product back without charging anything extra.

Didn't know FTC was involved. I was aware of USPS rules.
Chef Jim Posted December 7, 2012 Author Posted December 7, 2012 Who has the TV now? That's a great question.
Maury Ballstein Posted December 7, 2012 Posted December 7, 2012 So many upstanding citizens in this world! Chef your the man, that 2nd TV would be somewhere else in my house or sold for a couple hundred bucks. Must be making a pretty penny cooking whatever it is you cook. Good for you my man.
