I was shipped a box of VR Unicos once I didn't order.
A email was sent to the vendor and he told me to enjoy them

I think since you asked the question, you already knew what the right thing to do was.

I posted in that thread a year ago when I was a noob! I acted like a douchebag in that thread (just ask Vic)

. Morally, it is your obligation to contact the vendor. It's awful tempting not to, but at this point in my life I would do what is right and call them. They may just tell you to keep them anyway (or look out for you in some way, shape, or form) depending on what you ordered.

EDIT: That pic is classic, BTW!

1) Contact the vendor

2) convince the vendor that the best place for these cigars to is to "the troops"

3) find someone on the board that can fix you up with a "troop support network" and get those things to Iraq/Afghanistan

4) Include some recognition to the vendor in the package, so that maybe some new business is generated for the vendor (maybe the vendor can help you with this)

That's my answer to it.

I'd like to think that I have matured since then (just a little bit) since then. I was a noob and thought someone was talking junk to me, when in fact they were in the right and giving sound advice.

I guess it depends on who you are. No issue for me, I'd call. Still have to be able to look at my self in the mirror.

I'd have to make that call. It's the right thing to do!!

Texan in Mexico · 08-20-2009, 12:48 PM

I think you have received some fair responses here.

Just give them a call and let them know what happened. Worst case scenario is they give you a credit for the cost of the shipping back.

Not worth the bitter taste of the smoking ill-gotten sticks IMHO.

Scares me that one person voted to keep them and say nothing.

Do the right thing, Brian.

You made the right choice by calling

I have to agree.

I once got a shipment from a vendor that was not my order - as well as my order too. I called their service department and they sent me a return sticker, along with a free bundle of decent smokes. Morals? Karma? Whatever - as in "whatever goes around comes around."

Sr Mike · 08-20-2009, 03:14 PM

I had a similar incident happen with me. I gave them a call and told them I did not place the order for another box, though they did charge me. The retailer apologized and told me to keep the cigars and refunded my money. Be kind to our hobby.

The important thing is that he reached out for advice. The way I see it, it's less of a "what is the right thing?" question and more of a "what am I supposed to do?" inquiry.

I remember when I posted about my mix up back at CS. I purposely posted without mentioning that I got twenty boxes of Backwoods! I was having fun with the post... just as I believe Brian was with this Thread!!!

Each of you quoted above - I concider you as true BOTL! I have interacted with each of you, just as I have with Brian, the OP! He is a good brother!!!

And for your information if he hadn't acted ethically... the BABOTL would have kicked his butt... right after we cleaned out his Humidor of course!!!
