"Free" stuff on Amazon...
« on: July 21, 2018, 01:35:22 PM »
I ordered some Bose headphones on Monday during Prime Day.
The next day I cancelled them.  Got a message from Amazon saying they would try and cancel but didn't know if it would happen.
2 days after that I see a message in my amazon account the somewhere along the line the order had been refused and was being returned.
The next day I RECEIVED the headphones.
A few days after that I saw the refund on my credit card.

This happened to my wife a few months ago on some shoes she ordered.  Cancelled.  Credit card showed a credit but she still got the stuff.  Amazon told her no need to return the shows.

So do I have a "free" set of Bose headphones?

Seems like more of a Halacha issue but the right thing seems to be to ask Amazon and see what they say.

Per the FTC unordered merchandise can be kept.

This is not unordered merchandise though, it’s a shipping error.
