My pop worked for the postal service for forty years and he taught me a lot about the postal service, how mail is delivered and postal law and pat has summed up the letter of postal law exactly.

After reading the OP (not the link) I'll admit I was horrified that anyone would consider keeping items they hadn't paid for.
Then, as I skimmed over the thread, I see that the persons in question tried to make things right and were gifted the items. This, I understand. Twenty odd years ago, my mom ordered a 24 kt gold baseball card and was sent two. Twice she sent the extra card back and twice it was sent back to her. She contacted the company but never was charged for the second item. At that point, there is little else a person can do. However, if you don't at least TRY to make things right, you are a thief, plain and simple. Recently, my cousins wife was on facebook trying to sell an American Girl doll because the company had sent her two by mistake. I was, and still am, embarrassed that a "relative" would do such a thing. |

I have been accidentally given more change than I was supposed to get back at the store and have in those cases alerted the cashier and given the excess back, not wanting the cashier to get into trouble for having less than they should in their till.
I have also erroneously received books that I haven't ordered in a shipment, and after contacting the seller was told to just keep them, as it wasn't worth their trouble/time/money to arrange for me to ship them back. (I would have gladly shipped them back, but there is no way that I would have done it at my own expense, seeing as it was not my error). If you try to contact the seller and they tell you to keep the product I don't see anything unethical about keeping it. |

5 iPads is not a good enough incentive to shop at best buy.
