Moral Dilemma

[dwhitacre]

Here is the catch 22 - My wife placed an order with Cigars International and when the box came she noticed that it was huge, much bigger than the lighter she ordered.

Inside the box were 20 boxes of Backwoods cigars.

I will tell you later what she decided to do. But here is the question...

What would you do?

Im lost.. what happen to your backwoods...

I would call CI let them know, then send them back.

Bottom line if you didn't pay for them they are not yours.

Too bad they weren't boxes of GOF's or something. I might be willing to go to hell if in that position.

[uncballzer]

I really don't know what'd I'd do. I think I'd wait a day or so and see if they call first....but of course that's not the moral thing to do, which would be to call them asap

[carbonbased_al]

I'd call them up and complain, lighter was prob worth more than 20 boxes of backwoods lol.

[Little General]

I'd have to ask them I they would care to donate the error to the troops...

Phatash.com once sent me an order that I didn't order. I sent it back.

I wish this poll was public. Looks like I could update my asshat list, unfortunatly.

Says it all.

I was in this similar situation with Tinderbox over a box of Diamond Crowns I ordered.

If I were you..I would do the right thing regardless. I'm willing to bet they will compensate you in some way for your honesty.

With more backwoods!!


Seriously, I would let them know. My guess is they will just tell you to hold on to them, wouldn't be worth the return shipping for them. Then you can send them away to the troops or whatever.

I'd call them up and send them back. It's just the right thing to do. So what did happen?

[smokeyscotch]

I look at it this way. If I filled a Portrait order and sent 10 in stead of 5, I would hope the customer would call me. I would probably reward them by letting them keep them. If you didn't pay for it, it doesn't belong to you.

I made a mistake when I was young that I learned from. I was at a NASACR Race. I was walking to my seat with the friend that I went with (we worked together). He saw a wallet, picked it up, took the cash and threw it back down. I should have asked him to do the right thing. But I didn't. The next week our lives were placed in danger as we were robbed at our job. One person was shot. What goes around comes around.
I'd be willing to bet your wife did the right thing though.

I bet if you call CI they will tell you to keep them, but who wants to smoke Backwoods.

Sell them on the street corner to the underage crowd!
