Ethics question for the Outpost |
Was the product made in America? If you, find your closest charity organization that works with gardens.
Detroit Childrens Hospital has some greenhouse areas for the kids to get into growing plants.
They have found that giving the kids something living to tend to often gives them a goal, something to look after, and it helps rejuvenate their healing process.
After donating it call the company and tell them that you received two, that you donated one to charity in their name and told the charity you highly recommend the company for any further purchases. This makes you look good, the company look good, and notifies them that they overshipped and they can look into correcting that.
Was the product made in China? Call the company and tell them you never received one.

IF you don't report the over-ship you are stealing.
IF you do report the over-ship the shipper/picker may be disciplined/fired.
Me, I'd take one from the box, seal the other inside and wait 6 days to see if they reproduce.

I'd email them. I have been in a similar situation before and did just that. Although I have to admit that wasn't just some cheap gardening tool where the effort + time is probably worth more than the item in question.

You are not ethically obligated to do anything other than throw the extra on your shelf.

Keep it.
Maybe give it as a gift, or sell it.
Or keep it until the other one breaks.
Regardless it's yours now.

They are not going to pay to ship it back but you should tell them.

Hehe this has been good, thanks. This of course happened to my wife this week.
My position was, "Keep it. Leave it unused for about 4 weeks and if they don't come looking for it, it's yours. It'll be more hassle and shipping cost than it is worth to inform them, have YOU repack it, and return it. And frankly, they probably don't care."
My straight-arrow wife, she of course was full tilt on, "Of course I need to call them and ask what they want to do. I didn't pay for this."
I'll show her the thread later to let her know that, yeah, the opinions are pretty much split on this.
PS: If this was like $100 or more, then I would recommend calling the company immediately. That amount is worth *someone* paying the shipping to get it back in stock.

You are what's wrong with this country.
Yep. And likely one of the people that always complains about welfare and "free handouts" or people "getting over on the system". Yet views nothing wrong with this form of the very same thing.
