Pretty funny to see what $90,000 worth of Apple stuff looks like just in boxes, also love the idea of some guy having to deliver all this to someones house.

Everybody's acting like the demon and the saint. It'll still be up to him if he decides to return it or not. Legality and Morality aside, let's just keep thinking what's right. Thumbs up and Kudos to you kind sir.

Let's put it in an example, what would it feel if your shipment went to another place and didn't return it without any insurance at all oh and not to mention it's worth morethan $100,000? :)))))))))))

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 xD

 i ain't gettin fired bro :P

I'm so jealous :x. I would have sat on my ass for like a month with them after them I would of sold them.. Put like £50k in savings and started renting my own place ;-;. I know it'd totally be kinda stealing by not reporting it but you know when you ain't rich and a £90k head-start on life would really be nice. 

 

WORLD PLEASE SWING SOME LUCK MY WAY.

 

P.S. Don't mind me.. just fantasizing about getting a sh*t tonne of money for doing nothing.

 

P.P.S I hope you're rich/well off. Being a 'good man' doesn't always help you out in life in the financial sense.

Needs more v-core

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

That's a lot of iPod's. Worthless at best but I would have given them away to the homeless and less fortunate. Everyone deserves to jam out to music :D.

That would be a waste. You can't put music on them without itunes on a computer. You could sell them and donate the profits though.

You're only allowed to keep them for a valid reason if I am not mistaken. It is how it works in most countries. You have no obligation to do anything about it though, you don't have to inform anyone and if no one demands them back then you can keep them.

 

EDIT: Actually, if his name is on the box then idk if there is an exception.

 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.

 

I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them..

I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them..

I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them..

I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them..

I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them..

"...I'm giving it back to them.."

"...I'm giving it back to them.."

"...I'm giving it back to them.."
