Thanks for the expert legal advice, Cloudy.

Could someone do me a favor? Order a Porsche online and accidentally enter my address instead of your address. I could keep the car since it was an unsolicited delivery. You could argue that you never took delivery - so, no charge to you. Who cares who pays for it, as long as we don't.

Woohoo....Porsches for everyone.

Great idea - but you'll have to hire Cloudy to help you defend yourself against criminal and civil charges - you won't be finding a lawyer dumb enough to try his "unsolicited goods" argument.

I wonder if my next door neighbor believes that if I drop my keys on the sidewalk between our houses and a misguided good Samaritan makes the wrong guess and puts my keys on his front doormat, that my neighbor then owns my house.

Yep! Because it's unsolicited!

But it doesn't give you the right to keep merchandise sent to someone else and delivered to you by mistake.

Don't bother trying to explain it, Cloudy just doesn't seem to have the brain power to grasp the concept.

Unsolicited in the law you refer to means it was NOT ORDERED, it was NOT REQUESTED, NOT SOLICITED by ANYONE! It was completely UNSOLICITED. It means the company took it upon themselves to send a product to an unsuspecting person and request payment for said item, hoping to trap some sucker into a purchase.

A misdelivered item IS NOT THE SAME THING! The law you keep quoting says payment cannot be required. But a misdelivered item is ALREADY PAID FOR, by the person who SOLICITED said item (misdelivered item).

Please just tell us once and for all if you a) truly do not understand what we all keep saying, or b) you are just here to get your kicks by yanking our chains?

If the merchandise was sent to you, not intended for someone else, and you are asked to pay for it.

This thread needs to end. Memmo is as dumb as Cloudy, and tbh both are lacking in ethics regardless of the law. Maybe this thread should be closed already.
