I agree Send it back with their call tag

If they call you on it send it back. Otherwise consider it a blow against corporate greed. After all $700 is ludicrous.
if you saw a well off looking person drop a penny, would you go out of your way to track them down and return it to them?

The only reason they build $700 phones is because there are people out there who will buy them, whether they need them or not.
Give it back you'll feel better about yourself.
Think of it this way. Say you buy a couple of tubes in BT and they don't show up. Seller being a good guy ships 2 more which you get. Then the first ones arrive. If you keep them that's scummy behaviour and it's no different with the phone and if someone says it is they're wrong. All this crap about yeah stick it to the man is a load of BS.
Now if they say keep it then it's time for a happy dance.
Well, I just spoke to a BB agent. They said either to bring it back to a store, or use the shipping label they sent me. I mentioned having read that it was legal for me to actually keep it, and she said "no comment." She also said that if this kind of thing happens more that once with a customer, they do an investigation with UPS. Incidentally, this raises other questions since in my case, one was shipped UPS, and one Fedex.
She also said if I brought it back to the store, I would get my money back faster, to which I said that I didn't pay for the second one. I actually didn't even pay for the first one yet either, as it is on an installment plan.
I was hoping for some kind of token of appreciation from them for being honest. Even a Thanks would have been nice, but no, it was all business. Oh well.
I hope the ethics police who showed up on this thread are happy.
Out of pure curiosity, I wonder what would happen if I never shipped it or brought it in to the store. Could they legally come after me?
I think you already know what's right to do, but will you, should be the question.
CorrectThis has never been about anyone other than you,
It's not about if "the police" are happy, do you feel that the right thing was done?
This has never been about anyone other than you, and again, should never have been a thread.
Well, you have not yet returned it, so a thanks is not yet in order. I would take it into a store, ask to see the manager and return it to him. Ask for some sort of receipt just in case they do end up charging you. It is still possible he will reward you in some way for your honesty and inconvenience in returning it.I was hoping for some kind of token of appreciation from them for being honest.

Ok I'll put it out, it wasn't your OP but all the subsequent post. I personally feel you where looking for support and justification from the members here to steel. You already had that in mind when you started the thread and your feelings keep coming out like the below remarks.Maybe I could have worded the original post better.
This moment in time? what moment is that? when people feel entitled?I simply thought thought the idea of a big corporation making a mistake that affects them very little, but affects the individual (me) much more, was a unique subject that speaks to this moment in time.
It's a very different thing to buy something from an anonymous online mega company, whose biggest concern is their bottom line, than it is to buy something from the local independent corner store.
Jeez. I'm sorry. I just thought it was an interesting and unique situation. I really don't understand some of the comments here. Maybe I could have worded the original post better.

Oh well. I should have known that people get worked up around ethics and money.

Again, why is this a subject to discuss?
