So, went to get my mail, saw a package. I was already expecting one, so blah, blah, blah, I opened it and quickly realized it wasn’t my package. It’s a tirara, as well as a bracelet. I looked up the brand and, thankfully, they’re not diamonds or anything crazy, but they range from $150 to almost $700, either scale being expensive to me. And a tirara has to be an event, which makes it even worse. I checked for an order slip to reference the number, but it’s only the tiara. I don’t recognize the name, and I’ve been at this address for a few years. Do I just return to sender and hope for the best? Community post?

    Throw it away
    If you opened it, and do not wish to keep it, you may simply dispose of it in the garbage, as long as it is safe to do so.

    Keep it
    If you opened it and you like it, you may keep it. By law, you may keep unsolicited merchandise and are under no obligation to pay for it.

    Note that this may be correct only in Usa. Different in other countries.

        Here you do not own it. The owner can request it back. But you can’t be bothered to walk to the post office and pay for shipping it back. So you have to keep it available for him to (come or send someone and) pick it up. At least 3 weeks iirc, unless it is perishable goods. Then you can throw it away. If he does not request it back, then you own it after some time (I forgot how long, half a year maybe).

          If I am understanding right, when you say “can’t be bothered”, you mean “can’t be compelled/forced”?

          Seems pretty reasonable, albeit slightly reliant on honesty. At least for scammers, they aren’t likely to want it back, as that would deanonymise them, so if its definitely a scam, your pretty safe to keep it.

          Thanks for the info :)
