maccruiskeen - MemberIntrigued as to what the statutory definition of "shortish" might be
I cannot remember and can't be bothered to look it up. 🙂
Perhaps you feel a day of your time is worth more than the HiFi and that this is suitable compensation.
That hifi costs £149. I get billed out at £650 per day. If the OP is billed out at a similar rate, maybe he should be asking for speakers as well...
... Or at least some quality cables, they're what makes all the difference. 😉
Morally, there's no question - you should let them know they've made a mistake. But I don't think you're obliged to put yourself out so they can pick it up.
I had this happen with a bed years ago and they told me to keep it.
Don't worry about it, I just googled the company number in your photo and emailed them a link to this thread.

Legally there is no question either, the exceptional people in the audio visual store should be called Now, if they then choose not to collect the op wins and can sleep easily.
Never has a pen or post-it note from work been found at his home?
No, but then again I've generally worked in environments where the employees are treated like adults. Current boss is a bit of a star too.

Oh, so it does. Sorry, I thought it was a hifi 😉

On this thread I have been taking the piss
That hifi costs £149
Would appear to be closer to 500 with speakers... 😯
Just mailed my bro in law who's a consumer protection guy & he says...
'Unfortunately the goods would not be yours.
There's nothing laid down as what is a reasonable time (for them to pick the goods up) but if it went past that point then you'd be looking at damages only i.e. compensation for the inconvenience, that sort of thing.
It only becomes yours if its unsolicited which it isn't.'
Thanks esseletc, to be honest, I wasn't really expecting to keep it, I'm more annoyed that a company that's already wasted my time has been so incompetent and wasted even more of it!
You placed an order then cancelled it. Subsequent to that they sent you something, unsolicited. You keep it.
