Delivery mix-ups

In the past when I got duplicate or wrong items from Amazon, they usually said to just keep it (but none of these were particularly valuable).

Over 30 years ago I ordered a refrigerator from Sears. I had a confirmed delivery date and time and my in-laws over to accept delivery (my husband and I were both working). They never came. They rescheduled a new delivery date, my in-laws came again, and we got the fridge. About a month later, we came home from work one night and when we opened the garage there was another refrigerator from Sears. They had delivered another one with nobody home and left it in the garage (which was not locked.) Frankly, I was shocked that a delivery team would live a major appliance in an open garage with nobody home and nobody signing for it. I called them and explained the whole thing. Sears was so confused, they had no record of the extra refrigerator. I tried to get them to come and take it away but they were not interested. I ended up selling it to a friend.
