I'm not so sure... Someone's tort somewhere has lost out. Not that they know it but the owner and his best intention does... I'd b worried to keep it, karma and all haha. But in all seriousness, I'm not sure.
Now if it was uggs....
Just out of interest (if it hasn't already been answered here) is it a valuable amount or just a few squids worth?

Did you ever think it was Good Karma that supplied the windfall?

no one ever thinks maybe Karma is paying back good stuff, and she always gets blamed for the bad stuff!

Yes, you should absolutely say something.... Besides just being honest, he's gotta fix someone else's order. It's likely not going to be worth him having you send it back (at his expense) so he'll probably tell you to keep it anyways.

So far I don't think I've ever shipped something to the wrong person, but it'll happen eventually, and I hope the customer has the class to at least alert me to it, regardless of what it is. If it was 10 pounds of cactus, I would have them keep it anyways, but at least let me re-ship to the other guy ASAP.

It's easy enough for him to track it (once he realizes it's gone missing), so he's going to be able to pinpoint that it ended up with you anyways, eventually.

Yeah, definitely say something. Even when someone accidentally sends me things in video games I like to let them know.

WOW! glad I live in Texas! I pay .59 per pound.

In some Fiesta Markets (Hispanic grocery stores) you can often find nopales for $.25 - .30/lb. That's where I've bought them in the past, although nowdays I've got enough growing that I can harvest enough to feed my 4, with some to spare.

Hopefully, in another year or so, I'll have enough growing that I'll be able to start selling nopales in a small way...I've got an acre started, although most of the plants are pretty small, at this point.

But they grow fast...have you ever thought about planting some in your yard?
