Should I feel guilty ?

[grumpy52]

I ordered a Le Mans GT40 T shirt from one of those sites that advertise on Facebook, yeah I know , the shame , council oik etc etc . The garment was coming from the USA and I paid extra for the Express shipping .
This was back at the beginning of June . Alarm bells started to ring when the tracking information led to a dead end and all enquiries gave very sketchy replies . Then I received a very dodgy email purporting to be from Royal mail informing me that a parcel was being held at Heathrow Terminal 2 due to not enough postage and please pay here , click site etc etc . This was a total scam , looked legit to many that didn't know that Terminal 2 don't handle freight or parcels .
Having paid via PayPal I instigated a refund claim due to lack of arrival . Three days later I recieved a full refund . I also recieved an email offering to re-ship a replacement which I ignored . This all concluded a week ago .
Today the T shirt arrived, and it's actually a pretty good quality American T shirt .
Is it naughty to not offer to now pay for it ? Or just regard it as a bonus .

Do the decent thing and pay for what you've got. I very much doubt that the seller has anything to do with the scam email.

You know what the right thing to do is - do it.

[NMNeil]

You received your order; the right thing to do would be to pay for it.

[Sparkzz]

Pay for it or you'll feel guilty every time you wear it.

It's someone's business and life is hard enough without losing money on daft stuff like that. Send them the money.

[InitialDave]

I'd pay them.

[anonymous-user]

Pay for it!
It should go without saying, you swine!

Why is it even a question whether you should pay them or not? You have the shirt.

[Alex@POD]

Yep, there's only one answer here.

[grumpy52]

Hi all , I emailed the supplier and explained what had happened and asked for a link to to pay for the T shirt . I have just recieved a reply and they don't want a payment as it had taken so long for it to arrive and I also have a discount code giving 15% off my future purchases.
Customer service does work if you are polite and especially with our American cousins.
My conscience is now clear .

Our Septic cousins certainly know a thing or two about customer service.

I have an ODBII reader with an LCD screen. I dropped it and it broke. I sent it back to the US for repair with a covering note (I'm a tw@t, I dropped it etc). A couple of weeks later it returned repaired and they refused to charge me anything, even the postage.
