    Bali321TVD reacted to Vanderburg in UPS Sends Me $90,000 in iPod Nanos   
    As someone who makes less than $35,000 a year and takes care of his disabled dad, this is a life changing amount of money. I don't need UPS or Apple to throw money at me (Though, I certainly wouldn't be offended), but I'm a bit surprised at how little interest (or appreciation) they seemed to show. Even though, It took some serious strength to say "This isn't mine, you screwed up, please come take it back", and I'm happy with that and I don't need Apple or UPS to validate me doing something good.

    So, I tweeted "Dear @UPS, since I saved you $90,000, I'm more than happy to accept a check for one third of that. I love you."
     
    2 minutes later, I get a reply from @UPSHelp, "@joshvanderburg If you have any questions regarding charges or billing please let us know. You can email us at help@ups.com. ^AS"

    I did a bit of research on it, and it's still not very clear to me. I believe I could have kept them if they intentionally sent it to me unsolicited, but if it's just an mistaken shipment, I couldn't. Though, again, I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, Apple would have gotten their money anyway (I'm sure these are insured), so it would have been UPS losing out and I kinda like UPS.

    I agree, I doubt apple or ups will say much if anything. Ive always had a distaste for apple (as i type this from an ipad air 2...) Being the greedy company they are. Either kudos to you for doing the right thing! Just remember, What goes around comes around. That $50 amazon credit may not be the only present you get. Even if the rest are far more indirect.

    Honestly, if I could, I would shake your hand for getting this straithened out and not just keeping them. You are a good man. It's nice to see not all people in our society are evil and greedy.

    Amazon put $50 on my account for my honesty when we thought it was theirs, but I have a feeling UPS and Apple won't say anything, but I'm okay with that. I feel good doing the right thing here. I could have kept them, no one would have ever known, but in the end, they weren't mine.

    This was a package going from China to Canada, and somehow in Alaska, it decided to go to Kentucky, where it got my name on the box...somehow. lol There are 101 boxes with 6 iPod Nano 7th generations inside, for 606 iPods, at $150 each is... a lot of money. I first called Amazon to tell them they screwed up, but turns out, it was UPS.
     
    For those wondering, I am contacting people to get it straightened out and no, I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them as it was given to me, with the box slightly opened, because I thought it was for me.
     
    Edit: I'm aware my address is visible in one of the pictures. I'm moving to a different part of the same town, so it's not a concern.
     
    Edit again: Went ahead and removed the address.

    Holy hell! Someone is getting fired over this one! At least it showed up at your door and not someone on the less honest side of things. Something like that happened to me once, The company the package was meant for was so grateful they gave me an item off the pallet as a thank you. It was about $300,000 in gaming laptops. Made a sick birthday present for my buddy thats a little less fortunate on the pc side of things then myself
