Honesty I always the best policy. It’s hard to find a lot that will always play that way.

I bought one of those, a couple of weeks ago, 2000A peak output. Wasn't cheap, but works REALLY well on a totally dead battery jump start. I could hardly believe the power of this thing. All in a package of approx. 10"
X 5" X 3" ! Nice piece of modern technology. Will see how long it lasts. Bought it primarily for my own safety, but used twice in last two bitter cold days to help others, including not so bright woman who ventured out at early evening, with her child, with a known weak battery, and a cell phone that died on her during her call home, because she had failed to charge it up. Got her going, let her call home with my phone, and then ( and I'm not gonna lie ) Gave her a stern lecture , an @$$ chewing actually, about her responsibility as a parent. Sometimes when it comes to kids, I get a little unhinged , and interfere where I should probably just shut up and mind my own business. But, I don't. As Steve Martin used to say, well Excuuuuuuse me !

I would call them. More than likely they would just tell you to keep them to avoid cost of shipping. No guilty feeling later

I have heard that if you receive a package in the mail, and it has your address on said package, it is yours to keep even if you did not order it. just sayin

That is true but he ordered something and got 2. Mistake for company. If someone gives me the wrong change I let them know, doesn’t matter if mistake benefits me or them. Father taught me this and I have never felt guilty.

I believed you and you did what I would have done. Not much else you could do being honest with them. If they’re confused about it at least you did the honest thing and told them about it👍

I’m with you Frank. Honesty is a virtue I’ve always lived by and I sleep good. Anyone that, actually, knows me will attest. The truth ALWAYS comes out one way or another. I was elk hunting in Jackson Hole Wyoming a few years back and I stopped for gas at a KOA along the buffalo fork of the Snake River. Got $30.00 worth of gas, handed the little gal behind the counter 2 $20.00 bills and she gave me $60.00 in change. The 2 bills I gave her and 2 $10.00 bills back. I asked her why she was tipping me. She looked at me kinda funny and I gave her $50.00 back. She was new and said “thank you so much for being honest. That would have cost me my job.” My buddy said I was nuts for giving that money back. He said “they make plenty in there”. Needless to say he’s not my hunting buddy any more.

Not much for morals or ethics in that though. I’ve received packages that weren’t mine and I returned them or found the rightful owner. The folks that ordered them are told “it shows as delivered”. You are right though. The owner of the the meat shop my wife works for ordered a, pretty expensive, rolled ice cream machine and it was delivered and signed for in a town 300 miles northeast of us. Her boss stopped payment on it and ordered another one but the people that signed for it kept it and there wasn’t anything the company could do to get it back. That’s just wrong in my opinion.

Good choices, both giving the money back and dumping the jerk hunting partner.

As for the extra rod, contact them. In almost all cases they will tell you to keep it along with an apology for messing up your order. At that point it is yours. The truth be told, It cost more for postage, restocking and paperwork than the fishing rod or reel. That being said, it should be their choice, not yours.

Well like you said if you feel guilty while fishing just called them and paid for them, if they say don't worry about it them you don't have to feel guilty while fishing.

Well Tony. I just ordered a reel and I sure hope they screw up the order and send me two of them. I won’t tell if you won’t tell.🤐
