Company shipped me two laptops that I never ordered

[marko]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had any legal and practical insights in the following scenario.

Some random company shipped me two brand new HP laptops with docking stations. I never ordered them, and I have never heard of this company before. The shipping box had my correct shipping address, so it wasn't a shipping mistake. Apparently, the company thought I had ordered them.

Am I legally required to return them to the company?

Just wait till you get the invoice.

But then it'll be too late to return.

Q. What should I do if the unordered merchandise I received was the result of an honest shipping error?
A. Write the seller and offer to return the merchandise, provided the seller pays for postage and handling. Give the seller a specific and reasonable amount of time (say 30 days) to pick up the merchandise or arrange to have it returned at no expense to you. Tell the seller that you reserve the right to keep the merchandise or dispose of it after the specified time has passed.

Where do you see that you can keep it?

It wasn't a shipping error. It was correctly shipped to my house, I just never ordered it.

Which company?
Maybe we can all 'order'

Did it have your name on it? Who was it addressed to?

I would wipe it and reinstall windows.
