Hello all,
I just made mistake and I would like to know what would you do in my place. I had two knives for sale and I found a buyer. He sent me the money and i received it. I packed the knives and sent them by registered mail - but to a wrong person. I did not notice my mistake first, then the first person started to ask me when the knives will arrive. I told him to wait a few weeks (international shipments might be delayed). But then I realized the packages went to a different person (with very similar name). I will of course try to get the same knives and will ship them again but I do not know how to deal with the person who got the two knives already. I know they must have been already delivered. But he did not contact me at all. I sent him two e-mails and so far have not received any reply. I left message on his answering machine (but I am not 100% sure it was the correct number - I used people search to find it - the address was 100% match). I can search for the packages (they were sent by registered mail - signature required) so I will know whether they were delivered. My question is - what if the person refuses to return them?(I would of course pay for any expenses he would have...) Is there a way I can make him return the knives? I had with him one transaction before and everything was OK. I will be in his town in about 6 weeks.... do you think it would be good idea to pay him a visit? What would you do?
