Delivery of the wrong item(s)
If your delivery contains the wrong items, then you have the right to a replacement. The Consumer Rights Act states that items must be ‘as described’.
Similarly, What happens if a company sends me the wrong item? If the unordered item was an incorrect fulfillment of an order the customer did place, you are legally required to send the correct item or refund the customer’s money in full — including shipping costs. You can ask the customer to return the item, but he has no legal obligation to do so.
Do I have to return a wrong item? According to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) aka THE LAW, you are not obligated to return any item sent to you by mistake. That is not a decision you get to make.
Besides, Who is responsible for wrong delivery?
First is the carrier that picked up from you and then delivered to the wrong party. Clearly that carrier is either directly or indirectly responsible for the damage. That is, either the damage occurred while it had custody of the shipment, or its careless misdelivery led to the further handling that caused the damage.
Can a company refuse a refund?
From 1 October 2015, under the Consumer Rights Act you have the right to reject goods that are unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described and get a full refund. But this right is limited to 30 days from the date you purchased the product.
Can I be charged for an item I didn’t order? You don’t have to wait forever for things you order to arrive. And, you can dispute charges for things that didn’t arrive or that you didn’t accept, according to the Federal Trade Commission. As for products that show up that you never ordered, you don’t have to pay for them. Federal laws protect you, the FTC says.
Do I have to return something I didn’t order? By law, companies can’t send unordered merchandise to you, then demand payment. That means you never have to pay for things you get but didn’t order. You also don’t have to return unordered merchandise. You’re legally entitled to keep it as a free gift.
Does Amazon check return items? Unfortunately, they only check to see if the item was returned in similar New state. If it is not new, it will be classified as unfulfillable. They won’t necessarily confirm all of the contents are included in new condition, but rather what they can tell from looking at the packaging.
Can Amazon ban you for too many returns?
Amazon doesn’t want to lose any customers unless it really has to. Most of the time, a warning about too many returns is enough to keep shoppers from going overboard. However, Amazon may use its discretion on a case-by-case basis to occasionally ban shoppers from Amazon if they are abusing the return policy.
Do I have to return items I didn’t order? While you do not have to return or pay for unordered merchandise, if you decide to keep it, you may wish to mail a letter to the sender—via certified mail—explaining that you did not order the merchandise and plan to keep it. This should discourage the sender from following up with invoices or collection notices.
How do I return Amazon packages that aren’t yours?
If you receive a package addressed to someone else, contact Customer Service. If you confirm that the package addressed to you, wasn’t ordered by you or anyone you know, report the package online by going to the Report Unwanted Package form.
What do you do if your package isn’t yours? If you’re not sure what to do with mail that isn’t yours, it’s probably easier than you think to get rid of it legally. All you need to do is write “RETURN TO SENDER” on the front of the envelope and put it back in your mailbox. Your postal worker will take care of it for you from there.
Are sellers responsible after shipping?
As a general rule of thumb, if you don’t see any evidence to suggest otherwise, the seller or shipper is responsible. If a package is marked as delivered and you have not seen it, then the seller is responsible.
What to do if a company refuses to refund you?

- Write a complaint letter: we have advice to help you do that and a sample letter.
- Consider getting help from a consumer organization like Call for Action, Consumer Action , or the Better Business Bureau.
What are my legal rights to a refund? You can get a full refund within 30 days. This is a nice new addition to our statutory rights.
