If it does arrive(and you don't sign for it/accept delivery) I think it's unreasonable to expect the person to unload and store a few pallets of the product in their home for upto 10 working days..

If they're palletised the truck driver will be requesting signature for sure

SirHumphreyAppleby:

This thread brings back memories. I had two Dell monitors sitting in my living room for months, taped together with a single DHL label slapped on, while I waited for a refund.

I purchased a high-end monitor, but it had issues. They sent out a replacement which was clearly 'refurbished' and not in new condition, with bad pixels IIRC. Naturally, I insisted on a refund before I would ship them back. I'm surprised they agreed, but I guess to them the two monitors had some value, even though the replacement they sent out was e-waste at best.

I had something similar happen with another brand many years ago, and a few months after getting it resolved and a replacement , the original monitor I sent back was returned to me.It had a few dead pixels but was still usable. I contacted them and never heard anything more so ended up keeping it and using it. So if they ever wanted it back I still had it for them.

If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.

This is how I got a free BBQ. The driver told me that if I didn't accept it, he would unload it and leave it on the berm outside my house, his job was to deliver it and by God he would deliver it. When called, the company denied sending it to us and refused to come and collect it (since they didn't believe it had been sent in the first place). That was about seven or eight years ago and it's still going strong cooking my sausages and steaks to this day.

In any case, looking forward to the "For Sale" post after ten days.... document everything!

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to do with 60 monitors? Have you got a place for them or will you just leave them outside?

Could be a hell of a sim rig.
