You have accepted a delivery you knew had been cancelled. THat is where you have committed fraud.
You (or your wife) may need to pay or risk prosecution. Knowingly accepting goods you knew were not paid for is an offence.
Do the right thing!
Delivery man turns up at door expecting to deliver sofa in knowledge that it has been paid for or is to be paid for wife receives sofa in knowledge that the delivery man is expecting to be paid
This reminds me of a movie I saw once, where the lady didn't have any money to pay the delivery guy, but he still went away happy... could be another option for the OP?
just playing devils advocate here, my mrs accepts bike stuff I've ordered all the time, she's no idea whether it's a legit order or one I've cancelled. If something I've cancelled turns up and the company try saying we're wilfully trying to defraud them and to pay up or else, well I might get a bit peeved.Knowingly accepting goods you knew were not paid for is an offence.
Well, it appears the furniture company's customer service department operate a 'good cop, bad cop' system. Very clever. My wife phoned and spoke to a different woman to Grotbags today, a lady who couldbt have been more nice apparently.
She appologised for the error and said the dispatch team sent it in error as the order had not been cancelled on the system correctly. She asked if we would be willing to pay for it. My wife obliged and the sofa has become slightly less comfy and I've already noticed a small stain on it.
I pray to jebus that we don't have any faults with it.
Anyway, cheers for all the support guys. I know that you will all be slightly upset that we caved in and paid for it, but I guess when it came down to it I just couldn't carry on living the lie.

Standard procedure in most furniture shops.

I won't lie. I'm pretty angry right now. Not even an attempt at haggling?
You just paid for it? After all that?
You give in too easily. Spineless.

The disappoint all round is strong here.
I'm shocked at these responses. I consider myself a man of morals.
Plus, I had a free TV from them a few years ago so it evens itself out a little.
To paraphrase bill hicks, my hump of righteous ire has been suitably filled. Thank you 🙂
Glad you took my advice.. I knew it would be for the best.
Did you not even get the new, lower, sale price? Suckers.
