Book 'give way' being re-given away?

Why haven't you told the sender you've received two copies?

belgravian, why have you assumed that the OP hasn't told the sender that, four months apart, she received two copies?

Sorry for my assumption but it's a point missing from the op so that's why I queried it!

The sender was Gransnet!
It was a Gransnet giveaway which is why I asked if there was a Gransnetter who had entered but not been lucky to let me know!

Sorry but I'm still one the wiser! Did Grananet say for you just to keep the second copy and do as you wish?

Or are you asking for someone else who also won the book but didn't receive it to get in touch?

None

Has it occurred to you that what you're asking is none of your business, bel?

Wish I hadn't started this now!
It was a Gransnet competition of a book give away.
No doubt there were other Gransnetters who entered this but were unsuccessful - hence my offer to get the second copy to them.
Almost wish now that I had said nothing and just given the book away to the hospice shop -sadly I have a conscience and didn't want GN or whoever supplied the books to pay double.
I haven't contacted Gransnet direct for two reasons ...
Firstly I am unsure how to ......
Secondly I have always believed that GN HQ monitor our posts - in which case it will have been picked it up at some stage and they would have contacted me?
I merely asked if it had happened to anyone else out of interest - not to cause any trouble!
I seem to have stirred up a real hornet's nest!
If anyone can tell me how to message GN HQ I will do so!

This happened to me some time ago when I won a classic book and chose Heidi. Some time later another arrived. I emailed GNHQ saying I knew of a good cause to which I could forward it, and they were happy for me to do so. I was the same as you, not wanting to feel I had diddled anybody.
You can email [email protected]

Isn’t it the publishers who send out the books, not GNHQ? Probably a clerical error.

Thanks shysal - I will email GNHQ.
I believe Greyduster may be correct in that the publishers send the books out and it may well be a clerical error. However, I am concerned that it must cost 'someone' so will contact GNHQ. I will probably get the same answer as shysal in which case the hospice will benefit.
Thanks for your help!

Don't feel guilty, fourormore.

Thanks so much Cari - it was an odd thing to happen after all this time
Thanks also Baggs for understanding my situation!

fourormore I meet with a GN friend on a regular basis and we are always swopping our Gransnet books. This isn't much different. So as Baggs says, don't feel guilty.

By the way, I once had two fridges delivered. Now that was a story I couldn't persuade the suppliers to take the second one back for love nor money.

But they still made a profit ?

grannyknot - that must have been a nightmare - they're not exactly small items to have lying around the house.

Many years ago I received two deliveries of a pair of jeans and jumper from an online company (which I won't name as they might come after me). I was very hard up at the time so just kept quiet, but put the extra parcel aside for a few months until I was sure they hadn't realised. Then found the extra clothes a very useful addition to my wardrobe. I'd never make a success as a criminal, I still feel guilty about it !

Bellanonna I only paid for one fridge ...

The number of times my husband has ordered something for DIY and been sent the wrong part and he emails or phones to correct it and they send the correct one and tell him to throw the one sent in error away ...

wildswan it went in the garage, still in its box and after many, many hours/weeks even months of phone calls, emails, begging and not getting anywhere, we kept it. As it happened the first one packed up after about a year ...
