Got a quick little doorbell ring and dogs start barking their heads off. I usually don't answer the door unless I am expecting something. I see a tell-tell sign of a UPS truck out front and open the door. UPS truck speeds off and I notice the box on my door step. Callaway irons, wrong address. Not even the right street. I am not sure where this street is in my town. I hate UPS should I keep the clubs and basically say FU UPS?
FU Obama. *****UPDATE***** Google searched the address and it isn't a valid address. Tried Mapquest also and nothing. After that tried googling name of person but nothing comes up in my area. I hate to give them back to UPS as someone said, they will probably lose them again.....looking for more options. *****UPDATE 2***** called UPS and they tried to tell me they were going to charge me $10 for someone to pick them up. Yeah, right I told them fine I would keep them then. That changed their mind and they are picking them up this evening or tomorrow. I told them I wouldn't be waiting around for them and they said to leave them where I found them. Feel bad for who was supposed to get some new clubs today they are probably at work and checked the status that says delivered. At least that is what I do. |

No, sell them on ebay... try to find the rightful owner. Keeping them would be racist. |
|
Only if you are a thief.
If your name and address are not on the box, call up UPS and tell them to come pick them up. |
|
You won't be saying FU to UPS, you'll be saying it to the owner of those clubs. Why do I even need to tell you this?
|
|
UPS sent my stuff to the wrong street and the guy brought them over to me. If you keep packages-you are dirt.
|
|
The good man does what's right even when nobody is looking. Obama keeps the clubs and sneaks onto the country club course to use them.
|
|
You only get to keep pressure washers. For everything else do the right thing.
|
|
Find the owner. He will appreciate it and giving it back to UPS will likely get it lost again. Going the extra mile usually leaves you feeling pretty darn good. You may have someone do something extra nice for you, one day. Karma.

|
Why is this even a question? You write in your post 'FU Obama' yet ponder if you're entitled to keeping something that's not yours... That seems a bit disingenuous, but, YMMV... |
|
How about seeing if there is a phone number of the rightful owner on the tracking label?
|
|
Keep them, if you want the same thing to happen to you.
Tenfold. |

I'd try to track down the owner. Yup, I'd pull up mapquest and take a quick drive. You'll make somebody's day. |
|
Make an honest attempt to get them to their rightful owner. You will sleep better at night.
Something similar happened to me a year or so ago. A very nice and expensive popcorn popping machine was dropped off at my house. Took several days of calling around before we were able to track down the proper owners. It was to be some kid's surprise birthday gift, and his mom was grateful. |

Give 'em back. Probably expensive. Give 'em back even if they cost $1. The value has nothing to do with it. |

NO......you shouldn't. During the past Christmas Holiday season I received 3 packages from UPS which weren't mine. Since I recognized the streets on two of them (one was my own street –––– just the oposite end of the block), I delivered them myself one day after work. The UPS driver came back for the third package the day after he placed it on my doorstep, which was a good thing since I didn't have the foggiest idea where it belonged. Be a good Samaritan and either call UPS or deliver the package if it's convenient enough for you to do so. Believe me, you'll feel good about yourself. |
|
Wow! Walmart did not notice this neat pressure washer in my basket when they checked me out.
Meanwhile some guy took time off work today and is waiting for door bell ring that will never happen. |

Google the name and address in my case this got me the guys phone number I called, asked if he had ordered something, he told me what, when and from where and he came to my house and got his stuff. I would only give it back to UPS if I couldn't find any info.

I am not part of DU, just wondered what other guys on here thought. Part of me really wants to keep them since I am bigtime into golf. I looked up on Golfsmith and they are $800 clubs. Searching address now. |

call ups, when driver returns jump him and use the 9 iron on him, just kidding

Don't be a Douchebag. This. Pretend you're UPS and deliver them to the rightful owner. You'll make someones day, trust me. ETA: You say you're into golf? Return those expensive ass clubs to the rightful owner and you might just make a new golfin' buddy! |
|
You have the poll choice "No, do what's right"; obviously you know that keeping them would be wrong.

Searching address now. Put yourself in the place of the guy who ordered them. Like others said he probably has been anxiously awaiting his sweet new clubs, watching the tracking info, maybe even took the day off to wait for the brown truck. How would you feel if your CMP garand you'd been waiting for for 3 months showed up at a neighbor's house and they kept it? |

Good on ya for finding the rightful owner. |

He is resisting Obama, but Obama's ways are subconsciousely rubbing off on the Op. Obama is the black and red guy on one shoulder that is beating the tar out of the white guy on the other shoulder. I mean getting a BJ isn't sex, taking other peoples stuff and money isn't stealing....... Welcome to 2009. |

Call the company who sent them. The invoice will have the order # and should have a contact number for the purchaser. If you can't reach him after all attempts, well enjoy the new clubs.

Google searched the address and it isn't a valid address. Tried Mapquest also and nothing. After that tried googling name of person but nothing comes up in my area. I hate to give them back to UPS as someone said, they will probably lose them again.....looking for more options. Take 5 minutes and contact Callaway, I'd bet customer service would be able straighten the problem out... perhaps there's an error on the shipping label. http://www.callawaygolf.com/Global/en-US/CustomerService.html |

Already make up your mind? |

Otherwise, it is the job of UPS to unfuck this. If you really need to, take out the #1 and spend a couple hours at the driving range for your troubles and then send them back. |

Just to be crystal clear - if you keep the clubs you're worthless POS.
any questions ? |
|
Call the company and see if the credit card is still valid.
Contact the bank and have them call the owner of the clubs. Watch your house, it could be a dump site. |
