Well... I got an extra blush during the MAC X Proenza Schouler launch debacle and I contacted MAC and they actually told me to keep it.
MAC always destroys stuff that's return so it would've worked out better for them to let you keep it. I'm quite happy to receive extra samples of things haha.

Back over Christmas last year when UPS was just doing the most nonsense, we couldn't locate my Nordies 2 day shipping order. UPS had no record of ever receiving it and no tracking. Nordies shipped out a duplicate next day and both items showed up together. There was a gift bag you got for spending over $150 with loads of lovely deluxe sized samples. I advised them of the error and sent back the duplicate items but kept the two sample bags... They were "free" anyways lol.

Yep, I was really surprised when one time maybe 5 or so years ago I received an extra one of the holiday lipgloss sets (they had sent 2 identical shipments) and I called to tell them MAC sent me a return label and had it picked up!

There are some really good people in this world. Hubs and I were on vacation---about 6 hours from our primary residence. We decided to refuel the car before getting on the highway heading home. After on the road for a couple of hours we decided to stop for lunch. When Hubs went to pay the bill---NO wallet. We tore the car apart looking. NOTHING. We headed back to our original location and specifically the gas station. We looked all around and then went into the adjoining mini-mart. Hubs doubted someone would return the hundreds of dollars and credit cards but he just wanted his driver's license. The clerk said, "oh we have your wallet--you left it on to of the pump and a man found it and left it with us". "We tried finding a phone number to let you know". EVERYTHING was intact. The man who found the wallet and returned it was a Boy Scout troop leader from New Jersey! There are some really good people in this world.
That made me smile! That is AMAZING! This happened to my mom, to-be stepdad and I, quite a few years back... With not so happy results. My mom saved up many overtime checks to take me to Six Flags for my 16th birthday. She had her two credit cards and about $800 in the wallet. She accidentally left it on the trunk at the gas station, and an hour later she discovered it was missing. We turned around to go back, and SCOURED that gas station, and even the highway ramp going up to the turnpike. We asked the clerk and nobody had turned it in. My poor mom cried the rest of the way to Six Flags. She felt horrible. My step dad felt so bad that he gave her $800 from his personal savings so we could still go. This was before they were married or even considering marriage and before sharing their assets.

I've found a credit card on the floor of my complex and looked the girl up on facebook and told her I left it with our front desk. I even took pictures so that way if the desk people were shady about it... she knew exactly who to go after!

But your story is seriously heart-warming!!!!!! :)

Yes there are and it's especially nice when one good person helps another good person (like you). Very glad for you that it worked out this way!!!

I was quite happy, too, even though I have to pay to receive my packages because I then had a chance to give it to my friend :-D If they would have asked me to return it I would have had to pay to ship it from outside of the US but I felt I absolutely had to contact them either way.

Oh how awful for your mom but so sweet that your step dad made good on her loss. I hate losing anything and I obsess about it, but that was a big loss for your mom. Hubs and I were prepared to loose the money. He was just anxious to get his driver's license back because he had an important business trip coming up and had reserved a rental car and needed his license to get the car and drive to the meeting location. Fearful that we wouldn't get the credit cards back, we canceled them before we even left the restaurant. You just never know!

I hope that if I ever drop a credit card, someone with your integrity finds it!!!

My Raw Jade arrived today from Nordies in an envelop. How odd that they would send the duo in an envelop and the 3 little samples in a box

Thankfully,
the duo was in tact. I ordered Ripe Plum before I ordered Raw Jade and that's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I'm impressed with the color and I'm glad it's more olive than emerald.

It was quite the day today because I also got my Chanel & Sephora orders.
