Chinese goodies.

I have been paitently waiting for the delivery of a couple of zebra flysheets for the donkey, bought via internet from some French company who appears to be agents for a Chinese outfit. All the usual tracking data and according to the tracking, they were delivered on the 11th of this month. I have been back to the outfit to complain and then I remembered indeed getting a small parcel about that time. It contained some face masks and an 18kt gold ring. It also contained an invoice for the ring at €1900 (Hk$15200). The parcel customs lable declared the face masks and ornament at U$3.00. Thinking that this was an order by my daughter, I waited until she visited to hand it to her. It was not her order.
What do I do now?
I believe there has been an automatic lable address mix up and some lad expecting to get married now has a couple of zebra flysheets to offer his bride.
At the moment, I am winning, but what could be the concequences if I sold the ring to cover my lost flysheets?

Oh dear that's awful for the other person - I think you should go back to the company and explain the situation. They may even compensate you with some extra zebras for your honesty?

Already done Sparkle. Waiting to see if they sort it out

I would suspect the "gold" ring isn't!

I had an issue with a French reseller of Chinese knock-offs - luckily I bought from Amazon and they sorted it.

I guess it depends on how you purchased it - direct or via a marketplace. But I suggest contacting the seller for a refund. Then buy from a trustworthy European vendor. And if you used Visa / MC see if they will do a chargeback.

Gold or not, I don't care
I did not purchase it, it came in the post in place of my zebra flysheets, (bargain for me).
I don't want a refund, I want my flysheets.

Just had an email from china. Now they are in a panic and ask for photos of everything I received, insisting I don't return it to any of the addresses on the package until they OK it.

Return to China will be expensive - make sure you return only to France!
