I don't now about the gift thing but right is right if someone makes a mistake that involves me and I can fix it. I would/have and will continue to do so because it's the right thing to do. If I ever that dang motor mount on the bike I'll let you all know and give a short review.

You did nothing wrong, I would tell them if I did get two also.

But you didn't, I have no reason to believe you did. So F 'em and move on, you did your part, it's not your problem.

This is what I was thinking too, not sure her boss would be happy about her customer service and she may be a bit panicked and trying to cover her mess up.

Unbelievable...That's the stupidest thing I've ever read. Who cares what UPS or the post office says, if something of value was sent to you on accident you should return it. Not because the post office or anyone else says anything, because it's the right thing to do. It's called integrity.

I agree with the above. I've had things delivered to the wrong address and would be pissed if I had to wait extra time to get what was mine because someone decided it was a gift and they were going to keep it. I had a guy a street over that used to always get my UPS packages because for some reason house number meant more than street name to the idiot driver. Instead of calling the company and sending it back he walked over a street and knocked on my door. He is now a good friend. I have respect for him for having that type of integrity

1- When she said "Somebody's lying", I would have said "Might be you".
2- Email a pic of the package with details to the owner.
3- Install mount on bike
4- Get over it.

Why is everyone flaming the OP? How many people bitch about service or a vendor on here? If he was talking about a dealer everyone would be on his side.

To the OP: thank you for sharing a very good reason for me to never do business with that company.
