Given a phone, what to do?
UPS delivered a phone to the wrong address. It's a Sprint Power Vision phone A900. Can I do anything with it?

There's a Sprint packing slip, no receipt, no phone number on the Bill to/Ship To, it was shipped to the previous owners of my house, at my house.

Last I heard items shipped to you that you did not request are your property.....now if that has changed I would like to know.

...but yeah, just call UPS and have them pick it up, or just take it to one of their "UPS Store"s for pickup... ...and maybe Sprint will know better and use FedEx the next time!

Call Mr. Munto in Nigeria for me and ask where my deposit refund is.

I'd contact UPS and see what they want you to do with it. If it's now yours, contact sprint and see if they can hook up their phone for you. I doubt that they'd like doing that, but if its "your property" I dont think I would say how I got it. I dont like Cell Phone companys, because they are mucho $$ grabbers...
*EDIT*Try contacting the previous owners of your home, if you know where they are*EDIT* ~Nate

contact sprint and tell them about what happened, and they should be able to look up the phone by it's serial number (hopefully). Perhaps they will send ups to pick it up, or maybe they made a mistake and sent it to the previous address the previous owner of your house had on file with them rather than his new address.
Some people would probably say sell it on ebay and make a profit on it. I say do the right thing and get it returned. Alon

Your suggestion that the phone would be the (unintended) recipient's rightful property is simply bogus. Do you really think it's the same thing as keeping unsolicited merchandise that a company intentionally addressed and delivered to you? A couple of years ago, I ordered a Kettler (German!) tricycle for our daughter. Two of them were delivered, both clearly addressed to us. Other information in the packing slip made it clear that one of them was intended for another recipient. We tried contacting both the merchant (some web storefront) and the Kettler folks, but it was clear that resolution would not be swift. I took the time and trouble to obtain (by internet search) a phone number for the intended recipients. Gee whiz, we weren't going to sit on our duffs and just let Christmas morning come knowing that some little tyke wasn't going to have the tricycle that someone intended to be there! We managed to contact them, and they acknowledged that indeed the grandparents had indicated that a gift was on the way. I gave them the details from the packing slip so that they could pound on the vendor and/or drop shipper if they chose to. Whether they got a tricycle there by Christmas, I have no idea. The one incorrectly delivered to us went back to the drop shipper by means of a UPS call tag. |
