Hi just looking for some advice, a few weeks ago i asked one or two companies in china for a quote on their product "zorb balls" as i was thinking of starting up my own business, i received the quotes and in the end didn't bother buying from them. Today for some strange reason i received a delivery from DHL and when i opened the boxes they had the zorballs in them and are from a company in china that i have never even heard of.. the goods are worth around £3000. i have an invoice from dhl stating i owe them £50.08 for duty and vat. I have no idea what to do.. any advice would be great

 

thanks

Contact the company, or tell DHL they were never ordered and to send them back.

nope no bank details have been exchanged. Am i obliged to contact DHL and to send the items back?

 

You should let the company know that they have made an error and sent these to you. I don't think the Fact sheet below quite covers the situation you find yourself in. But you need to ensure that you are not made responsible for the cost of their return. So IMHO, the company should make arrangements for a courier company to collect these goods and return them.

 

I will see if there is anyone on site team who might be able to advise further.

My advice would say you will dispose of them. If they fail to respond, throw them on ebay. They fetch a nice price.
