Goods received in error still belong to the trader, and if you don't make reasonable efforts to get them returned then you can be liable to civil remedies, which is a ballache.
But presumably the trader / delivery company would be likely to make a reasonable effort to pick them up before they resorted to civil remedies?
Which is why immediately heading down the flog-it-on-eBay route isn't advisable!
If it’s sent you to unsolicited then you can keep it, but evidently if it’s clearly not intended for you and has been delivered incorrectly then you have to make reasonable efforts to return it. I don’t know which specific legislation, but guess it’s along the same lines of theft by finding.
sure, stick it on a shelf for a few months first.
) reckons i could have kept it no problem.
Reminds me of an issue my ex had. She foolishly got an Apple watch delivered to our former house, after it had been sold (top tip here - update your address on your Apple ID, easily forgotten) and then she accused me of stealing it as apparently it had been signed for. Kept telling me via voicemail and email she was going to the police via Apple etc. I suspect she perhaps needed a crime reference number.my bf person (who doesn't wake up till noon
"if they didn't provide any way to return it, it's yours. And Ian will be able to get another one sent to him (I happen to know this bit of law quite well because it was one of the earlier chapters of a book that was in a house we stayed in for a very boring holiday as a child)." but maybe he's wrong or it was an old book.
Yup, it takes you to the doorstep most of the time. (unless a driver swipes delivery finished back at the van)
If it wasn't an auld book then then it is now unless your bf person is still a childmy bf person (who doesn't wake up till noon

He's an early riser then? 
I’ve still got the Thermomix TM6 brand new unwanted gift if anyone is interested make me an offer
i know right they ask you to sign up for delivery options, so i signed up, then they say i have to login and don't recognise my details. such a waste of time but impressive in a sort of kafkean waking nightmare way
I take it your firm will be using a different courier firm now...?I've literally just had a parcel delivered back to me from one of our customers and the whole box is wrapped in plastic wrap to keep it together. Item inside has been smashed.
Noon?
(I wake at the back of 9 usually, but stay in the warmth with the Chromebook until 12ish.)
Yep. If I live long enough I may get to second adulthood.
It was an afternoon tea kit. I opened the door and the postman shoved it into my hand without a word and disappeared before I could look up. Kinda takes the magic out of a birthday gift when it's messed up your weekend.
Yeah, I find they do random shit at random times and if they say X date for delivery it's invariably not X date when/if it finally arrives.
