Would you return a double shipment?

I also received double shipments or wrong shipments in the past, and I have contacted the company to let them know. Each time, they wanted me to pay shipping to send it back (which is expensive since I am in Canada sending to the USA). I usually repackaged the parcel, and just marked return to sender. No idea if the company ever got it or not, but I was not gonig to pay for their mistake...

Guess what the store credited my bank account over $200, which means that they received the double shipment I returned that I was not charged for 
Sigh, time to call them back.

I can't let $200 that are not mine stay in my account...
But you want to know what the kicker is... it's a Canadian company (I use 90% Canadian for my DVD purchases) so I have to pay each time I call

Well I called and they said they didn't show they gave me a refund. I told them they did. They said it was not in their records so they didn't. They said to keep it and be merry.
They owed me $30 for shipping and an incomplete refund, so I ended up being $170 richer

Good deal! I had a double shipment occur a few years back - Value America sent me duplicates of 5 or 6 of the first animated Disney titles released to DVD. I found out about it before they arrived, when they left me a message on my answering machine informing me of the double shipment, and telling me to keep it as a "holiday gift". I simply let the extras sit on my shelf and mature - and have since eBayed them for more per titlle than the original total order price.

I would probably contact them to see how I can return the copy. But I wouldn't pay for the return shipping cost since it's their mistake to ship two copies to me in the first place.
