To think this is just stealing.

[Parrotmore]

A couple I know have be redecorating their front room and have been looking at new furniture so the husband purposely knocked paint off the top of his ladder splashing over the sofa, the tv, carpet and some oft he units.
They have claimed and been given Harvey's vouchers to use to replace it all.
Plus the company replaced the tv but as theirs wasn't like for like (old model) they got the newer model.
This is just fraud right??
I'm really disgusted by this and now my opinion of them is that they are just liars.
They think everybody does it and I'm sensitive but I don't think I am.
So Ainu to feel this way. I now wouldn't trust them at all.

When we were burgled, we claimed for the smashed door and some cash that went missing. The number of people who told us we should have pretended and claimed for a stolen TV, DVD player etc. was depressing. Esp my very wealthy BIL who said he always did this. Disgusting behaviour.

IKEA delivered an item twice in error so I returned next time I was in the shop. The chap on the desk said I was mad and should have kept it.

Shared an office with a liar once. He would lie shamelessly on the phone to friends and families. Really thought badly of him - lightweight dishonest people revolt me.

Companies often apreciate honesty and say "keep the item anyway" if you get a double delivery.

The only time I have kept two items was when something didn't arrive via Amazon. Loads of emails to the seller, it went on and on and on. After about a month they sent a replacement item. A month later the original turned up (I presume it was that way round). As I'd spend sooooo much time chasing this up, I kept both as I just could not bear to be in touch with them again as sending one item back would've been a hassle i'm sure. It wasn't expensive anyway!

I've done worse than kept something
Had a new Ikea kitchen - ordered it took some bits away inc some undercounter lights. Order turned up with more lights and missing some doors - Ikea were going to pick the lights up when they delivered the doors. Then the fitters decided something should be changed. So I told Ikea I'd pick up the doors, return the lights when I went to do the swap - I did the 120 mile, 3.5 hr round trip (And was rushing cos I had to get back for school pick up) got a refund for the bits I was swapping...
I had intermittent problems with the lights from new - every so often, the odd one wouldn't come on unless you tapped/wriggled it but they did usually work and it happened to all of them bar one. Just slightly irritating so it took me just over a year to get round to doing something about it. Got all the receipts out ...and realised ... they'd refunded me for the lights I'd never paid for ...
I dithered about phoning them to confess but I was annoyed with them - they insisted the lights weren't faulty - even though I had seen others on the internet were having exactly the same problem. I thought I was going to have to replace them (a real hassle they are wired down the backs of the cupboards) ... I decided to take some comfort that at least I hadn't paid for them. Then I tried something that fixed them ... ....but I guess the time I wasted over them cost more then the lights anyway.
(For anyone else with Ikea undercounter lights or in fact any halogen lights -it is probably just the bulbs - in my case probably damaged during transit/manufacture - the filaments in halogen bulbs can be broken but still touch and mostly work -unlike traditional tungsten ones where if the filament had gone they just stopped working - new bulbs 6 yrs later - no problems!)
