Asking for a friend
What's the legal situation regarding misdelivered packages from couriers or the postman guys?
Scenario, multi-national delivery company delivered the wrong package but took a photo of said package in porch/safe place and left property (no one home) then sent an email saying that the parcel had been deliver and thanks so much, now eff off.
Now apparently this package is substantially worth more than the expected package (dog food) however my 'friend' has contacted the petfood supplier and advised that said courier left the wrong package which was for someone else and thier petfood hasn't been delivered so they're sending out a repeat order and thier advice regarding the misdelivered package was basically 'we don't give a shit, just dump it'.
My 'friend' also contacted the courier via thier chat window which was hopeless apparently but he did provide them with the order number of the package and also the postcode of the intended recipient however they've never responded so far despite having my 'friend's' email address and his mobile number (see above).
So can my 'friend' dump the contents of the parcel or must he wait befote a certain amount of time has elapsed before disposing of the contents?
