I'm in California for reference.

I've been working with the kitchen design people at a big box store and they came out and did the measurements. They were paid for by me. We decided on a design after a month or two of delays and after I got a bid I waited on it.

Then I received a “thank you for your order” from said big box store for cabinets. I forwarded the email to the design lady and she said it's an error.

Fast forward, I was called and told by a delivery company that they needed to deliver my cabinets.

They delivered the cabinets and they were unpaid. The invoice shows paid.

They called me, delivered, and I signed.

I did not make this order, I do not have the power to make such order. This was an error by their associate. The order was sent to the manufacturer, who I imagine was paid by the big box store.

Today, a week post delivery- I received an email that states the delivery was an error and they need to send out someone to pick up the cabinets.

My question is not a moral one. My question is, what are my legal rights here?

Does my signing screw me?

Is someone going to show up and harass me?

Will I be sued?

Is over a certain amount of money matter?

I did not ask for this. I did not okay an order.

Thanks for your time.

    You signed for the delivery, so it sort of sounds like you did, in fact, OK the order.

  • I okayed the delivery, I did not sign at time of order to be clear. I did not okay the ordering ANY items. Not sure if this matters?

    I don't think it does. I guess I'm not clear on why there's a problem, though. If you don't want them and they're offering to pick them up, it seems like everything should be fine.

Errors are not a windfall

You didn't pay for the cabinets, you don't get to keep them. An honest mistake by a company does not give you the right to keep product.

    That is not always true (though it is in this case). Unsolicited merchandise sent through the USPS does not need to be returned.
