Ok, I was never suggesting he just keep both unless the guy sends the H20 back, even then, according to legal guidelines in the UK, this is what Darren should do to fully cover himself...
1. If the mask is returned to him, he should email the trader and give him 1 month to either arrange for a courier to collect... or.... 2. He should also offer him the option of sending payment to cover a second postage of the mask within 1 month. Since the costs of shipping again are not covered by the original deal, and the other guy is being difficult, this is all you have to do according to UK law. You are making the item freely available to him for a period of 1 month. After which time, the mask will be classed as unclaimed goods if he hasn\'t sent a courier or money towards shipping. He decided to send the mask back, and your obligation to him (and the deal) ended in completion when the mask arrived at his house. Within a month, i\'m sure the guy will have come to his senses some and the deal will be completed, but if he refuses the mask point blank, i don\'t see what else you can do. Follow the above advice and keep mails so you can prove you made every effort to complete. This is what happens when companies sometimes send unsolicited goods to you in the U.K. then ask for payment afterwards. Technically, the return of the H20 would constitute it as being unsolicited mail, and it would fall under the same category. Legally, we can\'t just keep the goods solicited or not, we should offer the above options along with a time limit to the sender so we can prove we made it available to them to pick up. We get a lot of this now because old and vulnerable people are usually oblivious to the law and send the requested payment. There was something on tv about it a while back, and i researched the accuracy of what they said because my mum was sent a paperback book and asked to pay £70 last year! She was going to pay them too because she was worried about them taking her to court. I dealt with it and they just let her keep the book in the end. It\'s basically a legal scam but if you take the above steps, you are covered. |
