Moral dilemma

[gonegirl2]

Not as dramatic as the title makes out but no idea how else to describe it.

I ordered a parcel online around christmas for a luxury candle retailing £48 for my aunt's birthday (well known brand). The candle ended up getting lost in transit so another was reordered and arrived last week. Today I have had an email to say my parcel will arrive today, it has the same tracking number as my original order, so I'm guessing the delivery company found the original parcel and are now delivering it today.

This is something I would love for myself, so much so that I almost bought a second for myself but realised I can't justify spending that sort of money on myself. I already know I can't handle the guilt and will be phoning the company to let them know the original order has arrived (though secretly really hoping they'll let me keep it!). DH, DM and friends I have spoken to think I'm crazy to tell them and told me to keep it! Don't think my conscience will allow it, I'm such a goody two shoes that I'm even convinced the police will be knocking on my door if I did

I guess what I'm asking is what would you do?

Fluffy - RTFT! Or even just scroll back a few posts to see that the candle HAS been delivered and op has been in touch.

For all the “keeping it is stealing” pearl clutching posters..... who reported the free stuff and got to keep it. Perhaps instead of selling it or keeping it, you should have donated the item to charity. Anything else is just greedy and selfish

Contact the company. Otherwise, its theft. And they may well let you keep it.

PS- it wasn't a Gwyneth Paltrow "vagina" candle was it??? if so, then YABVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVU to want it!
