AREA is a word that is open to interpretation. Area of the county, state, continent, universe?

You can consider yourself my neighbor anytime.

Mike Thanks Mike. I'll be round later to borrow a cupful of sugar and some beer money..... :wink:

Follow your conscience on this one. You'll do what's right. The fact that you had to ask the question means that you know keeping it outright is bad for your Karma. LOL
Just keep it, and leave the negative feedback, look how much he's putting you through]]> Guitar Players Discussion blackzerogsh https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-it-a-gift-what-to-do/paged/2/#post-126523 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/is-it-a-gift-what-to-do/paged/2/#post-126487 Tue, 20 Sep 2005 08:22:21 +0000
I'd say that there were two main ways of looking at it:

a) He's just disorganised and has messed things up. This seems most likely.

b) He's trying to pull some sort of stunt to get back at you for the negative rap. This seems much less likely, but who knows? And it doesn't hurt to be careful.

I don't know how the laws, or the mail system works in the US, but this is more or less how I understand it to work here.

1. You're not obliged to pay to return something sent in error, but you are obliged to give the sender the opportunity to retrieve their goods. I don't know for how long, or how deep that goes though.

2. Registered mail here would provide a paper trail that could trace the path of a package. What it would not do would be a) confirm that the contents of the package were what the sender claimed b) had been adequately packed and protected, or c) were in 'as new' condition when packed. So I'd try and find out what his intentions are before just posting it off.

Presumably the guy now has some sort of address for you - perhaps even a home address - so I would avoid inflaming the situation any further if you're not sure what he's up to. You don't want him handing out your address to places that will flood you with junk mail, or playing other stupid tricks.

I would follow Greybeard's suggestion about notifying him that you have the book and asking for clarification. I'd keep it polite, but I wouldn't automatically offer to post it back at my own expense. I also wouldn't lay down too many conditions unless I actually knew what the law says first.

You could try an email first if that seems simpler, and then follow it up if you got no reply.
