I once ordered a jacket from wiggle and got sent a jacket and two pairs of running shoes, got a £10 voucher for telling them and another £10 voucher when they received them.

Ok opened my parcel today and I had 5 pieces of cycling stuff and there should have been 4 the item that was not supposed to have been there will come in rather handy soon.

What should I do bearing mine looking at my total spend in the last year has been 800 quid

Send it back, or at least contact them and ask what they'd like you to do.

Just because they're a big company and you've bought a lot of stuff from them this year does not make it acceptable to keep something sent in error.

It's basically just petty thievery. It's not as if it's a difficult moral question.

Never happened to me, but would 100% tell them.

I got a single Magura brake pad once. I never told them. Probably still in a drawer somewhere.

My wife once order a pair of Ugg boots from a website with a domain name something like www.xingpao-donkey-sanctuary.com and got sent a pair of fake Ugg boots.

Funny that.

We didn't order anything from Trollbeads but got sent a box containing £17,000 worth of the things.
We returned them and they gave my wife a bracelet set worth about £150 as a thanks 🙂

Oooooh, memory time...

I did this with a 6 pack of Brooklyn lager in Tesco years ago, the barcode was the same on the bottle as the 6 pack carton (one of those folding card US type ones) and the bottles were [i]supposed[/i] to be sold separately but they'd been put out in their cartons. 4 x 6 packs of nice beer for about a fiver? Ok then.

I'm a terrible person.

Tell them. Not telling them is theft. I know the OP is a forum regular but there's a certain humour on a self-declared postman asking whether he should keep something he shouldn't have.

From other posts they may tell you to keep it (though given they do free returns I don't see sending stuff back as such a big hassle) and then you'll have the warm glow of being rewarded for having done the right thing. I told merlin when a boxed headset came with some forks I'd ordered, thinking there would be another customer upset at not receiving their headset. It turned out to be an expired promo where they'd found more stock of the headsets so were punting them out with forks without fanfare.

My wife thinks they sent me two sets of forks the other year when they had a clearance offer on and we're too good to resist!
