Ordered a pair of silicone Sealskin gloves from a private seller on Fleaby a couple of weeks ago. They arrived very promptly two days after purchase. Knock on the door this morning, the postie has delivered me a second pair!

Checked my account to make sure I haven't been charged for two pairs. Nope.

Now gonna look to see if the seller has any bikes for sale!

Send the second set back or your conscience will eat away at your soul until you can take it no more and you will end up attacking your bike/bikes/neighbour with an axe.

You should take reasonable steps to let the supplier know and they can choose to collect at their cost/convenience or not.
Yer, I must admit that I'm starting to have the first small prick of conscience. Might have to contact the seller and make him aware of his generosity!
I ordered some domestic led lights from a company on eBay but they 'forgot' to send them!

After complaining to the company I received profuse apologies, and eventually my order was sent to me.

Two days later another parcel arrived, containing a duplicate set of lights. I checked and the company had not charged me twice. I got in touch with them again and said that they could send a courier to pick them up but I was not going to post them.

Next day, I got a message from eBay saying that the vendor apologised for non-delivery and had refunded my payment. At which point, I gave up trying to do the right thing - I ended up with twice the number of lights that I had ordered, and had paid nothing for them! :laugh:

I suppose I could contact eBay and say that the item(s) wasn't as described and demand a full refund!
 
My understanding is that legally it would be theft and you are obliged to tell them. Had they sent you something you didn't order it is yours to keep. But as you did order something, but it came twice, the 2nd item is theirs.
