I'd take his word over that of Cloudy from the internet any day.

hmm I think you had good fortune on your side.

UPS does this while USPS is a different story probably. But Amazon will also replace items that were delivered but end up stolen and I’m sure others do as well. Once it became “trendy” to see porch pirates stealing packages, both shippers and online stores had to offer compensation or people would stop ordering online.

So my mailman out here in the boonies is not, shall we say, exact when he puts mail in our boxes. There's three houses together and we all get each other's mail. I guess tis means I need to hope he gives me someone else's refund check. I can keep it, right?

Stop spreading misinformation about what I have said. I did not say that. Multiple times I have said that no law gives you the right to keep a check sent to you by mistake. Both federal and state laws do give you the right to keep unsolicited merchandise sent to you.

Have you got a dictionary that shows the word 'unsolicited' is a synonym for mis-delivered or something? Why on earth do you insist that one is the same as the other?

In spite of the evidence presented, are you still insisting that mis-delivered merchandise is in fact covered under the laws that you have been referencing?

So Cloudy, if I'm at 111 Main st. Apt 1 and order an expensive item and the delivery driver places the item 10feet to the right at 111 Main St. Apt 2, Apt 2 just won a free expensive item with zero recourse because of a 10 foot misdelivery? Finders keeps? Yeah, I don't see how this "law" as you claim it, could be abused. lol
