Just for the record it is completely illegal for the company to simply send you goods and charge you for them. It use to be a very successfull marketing tool used by companies that is now against the law. Maltesechicken's example is a perfect one. I know finance companies used to do somthing like this where they would send you a letter with a "guarenteed" approval for a loan lets say for 5k. They would encolse a legit check for 5k. In the loan doccuments it said "if we do not hear back by phone or in writing in xx number of days, the check is yours and will begin bearing interest.

That type of marketing is illegal in Canada now. With this particular issue being a double shippment, I am not sure if it falls into the same guidlines legally. If it doesn't, what stops a company from just double shipping random orders and screwing people with the price of the goods if they didn't send them back?

One thing I want everyone to respect when replying to this topic is to not slander anyone elses opinion. Having an opinion is everyone's right. Whats not right is when you slander that persons opinion. Keep this thread clean and we will have a nice discussion. Start into the personal attacks and slander, and it will get closed and the instigating member will recieve a temporary ban. I encourage good conversation on here, but lets remember to keep it civil.
