Hey, what do you do when you offer to purchase something from someone and they send you more than what you asked for and expect you to pay for the whole thing?? I recently entered into an agreement on curriculumshare and got a HUGE box from the person with things in it that I specifically told them I didn't want. HEAVY things. The postage was almost $30 and shouldn't have been even $10. The things I recieved were written in and I didn't know that I was getting items like this to begin with. I feel ripped off. The stuff I didn't want/need is in perfect condition.. This is the second time in the last month something like this has happened. The first time it happened I just blew it off ,the next time I looked back at the emails to double check that I didn't agree to the "whole lot" and I didn't . On both emails I specifically indicated that I only wanted these certain books.. One is for purchase plus shipping. The other is for postage only. I am severly strapped for cash and was trying to save money on items that I needed and it has ended up costing me about the same amount as if I were to have bought them new. Both sellers sent the items to me before I sent payment so I already have them in my possession. Edited to say that the HEAVY box was sent by UPS ground shipping! These were supposed to be sent media mail.:evil:
I would contact them, too. My initial thought is that, although it is unfortunate, the mistake is theirs and you should not be expected to pay for it. If they would like the extras back after you paid what was agreed upon, then you could ship them at their expense only after receiving a money order (or something else guaranteed) from them. I'm just glad their mistakes have not cost you anything yet.
yes I would contact the seller and let them know. If its a good seller they will help you with no troubles.
What are the extra items? Is it anything good? Maybe someone on here would like to buy them. Of course, I agree that you aren't responsible for their error, but if you can sell it easily, then everyone would be happy.
