Honesty or ..?

Ah. The voice of reason.
I mailed them at lunch time, still no response.
I guess I'm now going to be shafted because I've told them, but it will 
be slow to sort out + I won't have what I bought and (really) can't 
afford to buy it twice. OR the person involved is reluctant to reveal 
that they've made such an expensive error and will shove it under the 
carpet, without telling me of course.

I'm sorry, Peter.
The correct future response is to keep the goods and I'd advise the same 
to others in this particular situation. You see..
The ebay transaction was complete with no way to prove what I had 
received. All documents state what I ordered. All positive feedback 
given. The company would just make an arse of itself sifting through and 
accusing about 100 customers of having it, if it was noticed at all.
If I'd kept it, noone would be any the wiser.
Except me. I would have the experience of cutting and fitting a bicycle 
fork + the pleasure of a near 2kg lighter XC ride ;)

I think people just give the 'honesty is the best policy' line because 
deep down they wish they'd had the break and do not want others to have 
a bit of luck and joy in life. The business would put this tiny anomaly 
down to unknown shrinkage and get on with the 1000 orders a week and 
visiting customers.

Admit it! It's in your make up! Greedy, jealous humans's!
