Default What would you do??

Last week I ordered a set of 17" nitto 315s for $320; I thought that was a good deal, but it ended up being too good. What happened is I got 4 tires; I was a little shocked to see 4 tires when I got home from work. I paid with paypal and noticed today that my $320 was put back into my bank account; now I have 4 tires and my money is back in my account. What I am thinking is I am going to hold onto the second set and the money for a couple days until I have a day off from work; sometime next week, then I will give them a call and ask what is going on; they will be paying for shipping back to them if they expect me to return them, I don't have a problem paying for the set I just installed on the car. Or maybe the nitto 315's were on sale for $0.

Ah, the ol' 4 for 2 deal! Gotta love that. LOL I think you have the right idea about just waiting it out and calling them when you have time.

I'd be honest about it personally, because I know if I put my car into a guard rail in the rain using those tires I would know it's just good ole karma lol

I would be honest, theft, albeit unintentional theft, is still bad karma. Call when you can to clear it up.

I concur, share the name of the place so we can all get a great deal too.

That's honesty, right?

it would really suck if they went ahead and charged your for all of them

You should clear that up though when you get the chance. Sounds TOO good to be true
