Taken delivery of an alloy wheel - that I didn't order?!

[whatisjustis]

Came home to a large, heavy parcel which appeard to have come from eBay judging by the address label on it. Opened it up to discover this!

I have NO idea how I've ended up with it. I've checked bank statements in case someone is pissing about but then why send it to me, and not themselves?

The box is a Ford one, and the docket is in German? It's as if I won it on eBay when I think about how the box was gaffa taped, with my address on a word processed A4 piece of paper?

Am I right in thinking it's from a Ford Focus? It's the only word I recognise from the enclosed docket.

 

[DrR]

lol ace! Put a scan of the paper that come with it.

 

[sideways danny]

wow, that's a f**king ugly wheel lol

 

[Mark One]

it's a from ford though, not an ebay part is it?

 

[iimushroomzii]

Ebay it!

 

[whatisjustis]

Well as I said, the way it was bound up in tape and the way in which my name and address had been word processed rather than 'officially' printed makes me think ebay. But then the docket is such that it has come direct from Ford?!

 

[Tucker]

nah wack it on the flamrrrr

 

[swirly182]

For a Ford Ka that...

 

[Englebert]

So its not a typo on the address, its your full name and address?

 

[jesus]

WTF?! Proper random!

 

[Struggler]

has it got your name on it??

do any of your neighbours own a fords,

id leave it a while before you try and flog them

im sure somebody will come looking for them,
and they have your address lol

 

[Ian_182]

Stick it on the car anyway.Lets see what it looks like.

 

[kully]

1. You do nothing and then sell it on .


2. You email the sender to arrange collection only , otherwise you going to keep it .


Did somone sign a receipt of collection , personally no.2 for me .

 

[whatisjustis]

It's my name and address on the label, yeah!

has it got your name on it??

None of my neighbours own fords. And even if they did, why does it have my name on it?

I don't know who to contact?

 

[kully]

nowt on the address label ? , go via ebay sources if through that channel .

 

[whatisjustis]

I'll have another butchers shortly. Focus or Ka, though?!

 

[swirly182]

I'll have another butchers shortly. Focus or Ka, though?!

What size are they? My gf's old Ka had these fitted, think in 13/14".

 

[cat171]

I'm going with ford ka (a bird down the street has them on here) They are OE wheels, how big is it ??

 

[whatisjustis]

15"...

 

[swirly182]

15"...

Focus then, or something bigger than a Ka. No way did the Ka have 15" alloys lol.

 

[Ian_182]

Just sell it on and have a drink on it.

 

[whatisjustis]

That's always been my plan to be honest, just fancied sharing my strange fortune!.

How much do you reckon it's worth? £50?

 

[Tupps]

Ha - uber randomness

I'd hang onto it for a few weeks to see if you get any more.... sell a whole set ftw, Seriously though i wouldn't sell it straight away incase you get a letter through about an error

 

[Pen66]

Agreed.

Would wait a few weeks incase the sender gets in contact with you. If you sell it on and they do get in touch with proof that it was delivered to you then you're a bit f*cked to say the least.

 

[whatisjustis]

Very true chaps. I'll let you know if any other parts arrive.

I may have a small Ford by the end of the year.

 

[Marky_]

^Lol.

How massively random.

 

[whatisjustis]

I may start taking bets on what's next to turn up.

 

[JT182]

Randomness at its very best! Aye, keep it for at least a few weeks. Then if you hear nothing from whoever sent it out, sell it on!

Really strange that it was posted to your name though, have you bought anything from ebay a lately? It could be like that offer that Kia have at the minute, buy one car, get another free. But instead of that, buy something and get a Focus/Ka alloy free!

Yes, that sounds right.

 

[scott1205]

haha just get it selt

 

[Will.]

I may start taking bets on what's next to turn up.

my bets on that shitty sports body kit that ford do for the ka :rasp:

 

[36gilford]

I reckon front bumper next!
