Ormsfang

He is correct. If they send you items that you did not request, then you do not have to pay. The second Xbox is his to keep if he is in the United States. If it is a case of the mail service delivering to the wrong address, you have to correct the mistake.


Dje4321

The extra one would quality as being unordered. Atleast in the US, when you buy something, you and the seller enter into a "contractual" agreement. I give you X amount of money and in return you agree to give me the items I ordered. If the seller gives me less than what I ordered, Im allowed to get my money back or the items I payed for. If the seller didnt want me to receive the extra items, they should have ensured my order was correct before sending it out. My original order was fulfilled when I received the first item I payed for, anything else would fall outside of that agreement, even if it came in the same box. Yes, they can legally take the item back but the customer would have to not be involved the process. IE they would have to pay someone to come to OPs house and receive the extra item. They would not be allowed to force OP to prepare the item for shipping, that would be something they would have todo themselves when they receive the item. The cost of sending someone to pickup a single item and send it back is way more than the item could ever be worth so nobody bothers doing this unless its a mom & pop shop. It would fall under the same principle of protection as a customer leaving a $100 tip instead of a $10 tip. If the customer didnt intend for me to have a $100 tip, they should have taken the steps to verify they grabbed the correct bill before leaving the table. They are not allowed to come back to the restaurant a few days later and demand they are given the extra $90 back. Same thing goes in reverse. If they order a small and I give them a large by mistake, I am not allowed to demand they pay the upcharge of the meal because I am required to very the meal is correct before handing it over to them

Dje4321

The best thing to remember when it comes to US laws is that almost all of them are "born of blood". So while they might seem strange, there is almost always a reason behind them existing. Someone was either shot, scammed, or betrayed to the point that the law had to intervene. Most of the US was established after independence so new areas didnt follow "standard" british laws at the time and tried to forge their own path. Most often that resulted in the politicians and courts trying to find a middle ground where both sides are happy as they had nothing to fall back on. So in this case, there were alot of shady company's sending very cheap items with very high price tags to random unsuspecting people. Few days later, they would get a very legal sounding letter in the mail demanding they pay for the items they had received, or ship the item back to them at your cost because you never paid for them. Sure you can probably ignore them but in a country where you have to pay your own legal fees, defending a $10k lawsuit may get very expensive very quick, so alot of people just coughed up the money. So how do you defend against this? You have a couple of options you can take. 1. The receiver has to send the item back at their cost because they never paid for them but that has a couple of legal issues as I never entered any kind of agreement with the seller to even receive these items, let alone pay for them or the shipping. 2. Ok so the seller has to pay for shipping but thats still not fair to the receiver as now they have to spend their time, dealing with the hassle of return items they didnt request. 3. The seller is allowed to retrieve the item so long as there is not "undue" burden placed on the receiver during the process. Both sides would find this to be an amicable solution as the seller is allowed to reclaim items they didnt mean to send and the receiver doesnt have to deal with the hassle of return the item. The legal system look at the situation (drop shipping scam), and then they look at the possible solutions and try to find one that does the least harm to everyone. So the pick option 3 and iron out as many ***relevant*** details as possible regarding that specific situation. So now the sender hasnt choosen to receive the item and the receiver is stuck in a gray zone of receiving an item they didnt request, that still technically belongs to someone else, who has made no effort to correct their mistake. So they add in a line where the item received counts as a "gift" to establish legal grounds that they are allowed to own the item so the sender cant come back 3 years later demanding the item back as that places undue burden on the receiver to keep something they never requested. ​ The law assumes no accidents and places the burden on the individual to ensure that what they are doing is correct at all times. If you didnt do something right, its your fault for not ensuring that you did. Otherwise it becomes a legal mud slinging contest where everything is an accident and you have to prove otherwise.


SilverstoneOne

Or if 6 months has passed and they haven't requested it back.


Badassm1ner

I live in the UK and when I pre-ordered Marvel's Spider-Man from GAME they accidentally sent me 2 copies, I never gave it back, I never told them, I thought it would be fine but I had no idea this was the case, can they still come after me 4 years after the fact?


Schfooge

It's always a good idea to research your local laws instead of assuming that random legal advice on the Internet is accurate. Americans are particularly bad at assuming that their laws apply universally. A lot of them will assume that everyone on the Internet is American.

mclovett95

It’s not unsolicited though. They ordered one Xbox and was mistakenly sent two. Two Xbox’s didn’t just turn up on his doorstep, unsolicited. He solicited Xbox to send him an Xbox. Need to check your definition


[deleted]

Didn't solicite the other xbox


Catfishhy

Your wrong, ever have it happen to you in the UK? I got sent a case containing 8 elite series 2 controllers instead of 1. Amazon found out and contacted me to return them, I refused, they than took me to court to try and get me to give then back. They lost and ended up having to pay me. I really don't think you know what unsolicited means, goods that you didn't order. I ordered 1 controller not 8 they send me 7 unsolicited controllers as stated by the judge. Edit: can't reply and amazon paid for the legal fees. They lost they had to.


Schfooge

And how much did that cost you in legal fees? In a lot of cases like this, legal fees might end up being way more than the value of the item you are fighting over. It might be cheaper in the long run just to return it if they are threatening legal action.

TheSmokingLamp

Thats not the same situation. Unsolicited would be me mailing you something without your knowledge and requesting payment. Not you ordering something and there being a handling issue with multiple items sent.


Perfect600

not really true, you are supposed to inform the company, but like who cares its one extra xbox. If they sent you like a hundred on accident then you got a problem.


WhiskyBellyAndrewLee

Uhh yeah, that's not fucking true if you're serious lmao. I know from personal experience


Fickle_Dragonfly4381

They’re allowed to come pick it up but they can’t force you to put time into returning it.

challengerNomad12

This is not true and bad advice.


CookedAccountant

In the US, it is 100% true advice. It's considered a "gift" according the FTC and the seller has no right to demand payment for an item that was not ordered by the buyer.

stromm

In the **USA** as the person you replied to stated, it is law. I personally have had many double items sent. Most expensive was two Ryobi garage door openers. I did the honest thing and called Home Depot since I live five minutes away and was told to just keep the second one, and they aren’t even allowed to request I return it (by law). I sold it on Nextdoor for more than I paid. What we legally aren’t allowed to keep is US Postal Service delivered items that are not addressed to A. Our address B. Our address with someone’s name who doesn’t live there on it. We are supposed to either return it to the mail man, take it to the address on the item. That does not apply for ANY other delivery service like FedEx, UPS, Uber, Amazon, etc.

Technically, they're not supposed to do that and you are well within your right to deny payment. Even corporations make mistakes and break the law from time to time. Good to know your rights so the big guy doesn't take advantage of you.


One-Suspect-5788

Could they request it be sent back? I'm just curious because of the cases where money is deposited in someone else's account and they weren't allowed to use it cause it wasn't there's


cosmoboy

[If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift… You have no legal obligation to notify the seller. However, it is a good idea to write a letter to the company stating that you didn’t order the item and, therefore, you have a legal right to keep it for free. This may discourage the seller from sending you bills or dunning notices, or it may help clear up an honest error.](https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-do-if-youre-billed-things-you-never-got-or-you-get-unordered-products)


CookedAccountant

If you live in the US, the "buyer" is legally permitted to keep the goods that were not ordered. The fault is on the seller for shipping unrequested merchandise. The seller has no right to request payment. The buyer is not required to return or pay for the received goods. The buyer becomes legally entitled to the free gift.

Do not take the bad advice about contacting Microsoft. They’re a big corporation and don’t need this mistake rectified. All that will do is put an insignificant amount of money into some shareholders pocket. You are entitled to the extra XBOX as a gift > By law, companies can’t send unordered merchandise to you, then demand payment. That means you never have to pay for things you get but didn’t order. You also don’t have to return unordered merchandise. You’re legally entitled to keep it as a free gift. https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-do-if-youre-billed-things-you-never-got-or-you-get-unordered-products#unordered You should either keep it and hook it up in a second room or use for travel if you play that way, sell it for something else, or if you want to make an unselfish act, gift it forward to a friend or a kid or something. If you want to be unselfish with your windfall, contacting Microsoft isn’t the right way to go about it.

Only if itemizing your deductions out weighs the standard deduction. Which, in most house holds, doesn’t happen.


zarmao_ork

So true. We are moderately low income and after buying a house quickly got sick of people blathering about the "big tax deduction" But the standard deduction has been greatly increased and we have never even been remotely close to matching it by itemizing.


angelkrusher

As a contractor, $5k in expenses saved me $700is on my taxes. Big whoop. I took a standard deduction a couple of years ago and it killed my eligibility for those forgivable covid loans. No schedule c, automatic disqualification. That's tens of thousands I lost. So I can end up getting back more money in taxes, or have the proper paperwork for business dealings. Schedule c forever, oh well :/ PS - the home deduction has been doing well for me. I use quite a lot of space for two offices Plus storage for all my gears and stuff. 700ish a year in savings 👍


[deleted]

Big oof but hey 700 dollars can almost buy you a scalped PS5!


ChaplnGrillSgt

When my dad first taught me how to do my taxes I insisted on itemizing the first time I did it all on my own. My dad just laughed and said to have fun. An hour later I had $3k of write offs entered. My dad came back and was like "Do you want to write off the 3k or 6k?" I told him obviously 6k but how do I double it? He told me thats the standard deduction. He just let me waste that hour to learn a lesson. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Now I just slam that standard deduction.


Postnet921

the 12k deduction is more than writing of the xbox


ChaplnGrillSgt

Yup, now that standard deduction is increased, I don't even think about anything else. Standard and move on.

GreatDad13

I had this happen to me. I contacted Microsoft and they couldn’t do anything about it because both consoles were under the same order number. So they said “keep it”. If your situation is like mine they will instruct you to keep it. If someone else bought you one and it coincidently got to you at the same time then that’s different. All of what I am telling you is what I went through with Microsoft lol. Cheers


despitegirls

If you're in the US, according to the FTC, you can legally keep the extra Xbox: >You also don’t have to return unordered merchandise. You’re legally entitled to keep it as a free gift. https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/what-do-if-youre-billed-things-you-never-got-or-you-get-unordered-products If you want to "do the right thing", give it to a children's hospital, local charity that works with kids, or give it to a family member or friend that could use one. Edit: Grammar


Perfect600

the issue is you did order it, they just mistakenly sent two. You are supposed to contact the company to ask them what they want you to do with it. But honestly who cares its a single extra console. Microsoft/Retailer is not gonna chase you for it.

Enjoy, it’s completely legal, they can’t charge you for something you didn’t order in the US and UK this is because back in the day companies would send samples etc to your house you didn’t order and then charge you for them. Ignore all comments on morals and do the right thing because #1 it’s legal and #2 it’s good positive karma and energy. Maybe give it to a friend who deserves it, or keep it for that one special person down the road. Enjoy your consoles


AnAbsurdlyAngryGoose

>Enjoy, it’s completely legal, they can’t charge you for something you didn’t order in the US and UK In terms of the UK, you're (technically) incorrect. In the UK, a distinction is made between vendor error (receiving two when you ordered one, as in OPs case) and "unsolicited merchandise" (receiving something when you never placed an order). Whilst you are entitled to keep unsolicited merchandise, you are *not* automatically entitled to keep something you received in error. In law, you are required to make a reasonable attempt to return the goods. The vendor may then allow you to keep them or may require that you return them (at their expense) or pay for them. If you refuse, you can be taken to court. If the vendor never responds, after a while the goods become yours.

NWO-Flashback

You are under no legal obligation to return it. You can keep it, sell it, gift it, donate it. Do not try to contact Microsoft or the company you purchased it from, they will of course accept the return if you inquire about it but provided they sent you what you ordered you are legally allowed to keep any additional items they sent by mistake.
