This has happened a couple of times to me. first time, arrived home for the day to find a massive gas cylinder sitting on the driveway. after a couple of minutes looking around, discovered garage flat roof had been half-recovered. called the company on the cylinder, they had got the wrong house, they were meant to have done next doors. they tried to charge us some of the money for doing it, but we were having none of it, so they did it for free. Lucky for us, the neighbour had ordered a high grade of roofing, and the roof needed redoing anyway, so saved us a fortune.
The other occasion involved Argos (A UK catalogue shop). We ordered a new, cheep, microwave. When the Argos van came, I was out, but someone signed for the delivery. When I got home, I found myself the new owner of a 52" plasma and matching stand. Being the Honest person I am, Argos was telephoned, and arranged to delivery the microwave and take back the goods. we received just a £5 gift voucher in compensation, which is a bit unfair I feel, since I babysat their goods in my garage for a night.
