A case of Purell hand wipes was mistakenly delivered to me on Friday

That's 10 boxes of 100 wipes, just to do the math for you.

The delivery person delivered them to the wrong address. He got the street right but the house number wrong -- like, way wrong. I am not even sure how he made the mistake, that's how dissimilar the two numbers are.

I had been planning to drop them off at the correct owner, but I just went by the store to pick up some toilet paper and shortages are still in full effect where I live. I was only able to get 1 package of four rolls due to rationing/purchase limits.

Should I keep these wipes for a "rainy day?"

What would you do?

Give them to their rightful owner. If the owner is nice, they'll reward you with some of their supply.

I agree with R1. You could also offer to buy some from him.

If it was an Amazon delivery the correct recipient will get an email from Amazon that the package was delivered along with a photograph of your porch.

You opened the box, knowing it was addressed to someone else. Your immediate reaction wasn’t to correct the mistake. Instead, you considered pilfering them. You sound like a neighbor anyone would be lucky to have, OP.

It's cute that the OP doesn't realize these delivery people typically take a photo of the package after they deliver it as "proof" that they delivered it. When the neighbor inevitably bitches about a lack of delivery (as I did a couple of weeks ago when my package ended up being delivered to the wrong house in the street and I had to go a-knocking), the photograph will be forwarded to them at which point your neighbor will recognize the front of your house and come a-knocking. Do you really want to start a street war, OP?

I wouldn't have opened a carton that was obviously mis-delivered and didn't belong to me. What the hell is wrong with people?

They don't take a picture of it. I can't tell you how many times I never got a package and there was never a picture.

From what company??!

This EST again?

OP you’ve done this before, but not at the height of a pandemic.

I would consider it a late Christmas.

OP will be put in a county jail, awaiting trial until summer! Serve her fat criminal ass right, I'd say.

I would deliver it to the rightful owner with a note.

You know the answer. Why are you asking?

by Anonymousreply 13March 30, 2020 12:16 AM

Could be for an emergency worker. Or someone with cancer or other diseases with no immune system that direly needs them.

Can you live with the knowledge you directly caused the death(s) of the intended recipient(s)?

People that take others property need a baseball bat to the head.

This sounds like a clear cut case of finders keepers losers LOSERS.

Take it to your neighbors house. Leave a note with your contact information so they can give you some wipes. If they’re not grateful egg their house

OP - I got 3 huge black dildos and 6 large bottles of poppers delivered to me on Friday. I know where they were supposed to go - the very hot BDSM master who lives down the street. He has a dungeon in his basement. I opened them on purpose, to piss him off when I return them. First I have to get my ass deeply empty and clean. So I'll be ready for my punishment.

I didn’t open the box. It’s actually a Purelle box, perhaps straight from the manufacturer. I don’t know. But the contents are clearly indicated on the outside, including the quantities.

Any other stupid assumptions, bitches?

by Anonymousreply 18March 30, 2020 5:03 AM

Look at the address it was sent from, if you would. Does it have a company name?

I need to buy some. My father is 200 years old.

Don't be a dick Op, give it to it's rightful owners.

by Anonymousreply 20March 30, 2020 5:11 AM

No. Give them to the rightful owner asap. Its good karma.

I sent my mother an Amazon package. When she wasn’t at home to receive it The driver took a photo of the package propped up against her front door as proof of delivery. UPS tracks the exact location of the delivery. One of my packages was delivered to the wrong address. I called when it didn’t arrive on time and they were able to trace it.

by Anonymousreply 22March 30, 2020 6:07 AM

Um, call the company that mis-delivered it. They'll send a driver out to pick it up and deliver it to the correct address. I didn't need DL when UPS made several mis-deliveries to my building awhile ago. You make the call, you leave the package outside, they pick it up. You're done.

by Anonymousreply 23March 30, 2020 7:44 AM

I decided to keep the wipes and send two $20 dollar bills to the correct address, with no explanation and no return address. I just sent it out this afternoon.

Sorry, but this way I get to have a clear conscience AND still be able to wipe my ass.

On the off-chance that you're not just trolling, you're a piece of shit with no integrity.

by Anonymousreply 25March 30, 2020 9:08 PM

Of course he’s trolling, r25. And when the thread died he bumped it up with something controversial to get it going again. This is not his first rodeo using the exact same scenario.

Don’t feed the troll.
