What do I do? TNT sent me the wrong (but more valuable) box

Okay, trying to decide what to do about a shipment I got today from TNT. I had ordered a box of Puros Indios Maxima toros which were on closeout for $49.95 plus free shipping (TNT lists the retail for the box at $130). I'd had one and really wanted to sample more.

Greedily tore open the package today and had to stop. It wasn't a box of Puros Indios Maxima, it was a box of Padron 4000 Maduro (retail on TNT is $153.00). Now, I know most people would say "A box of Padron for 50 bucks? You'd be crazy not to keep that!" And I kind of agree.

Then you don't know the members of this forum very well, but you're beginning to show your true colors.

But here's the thing - I still want to try those Puros Indios Maximas and, due to an unspoken agreement with my wife, my cigar budget is blown for awhile.

If you would have approached this with a different attitude then I'm sure there are some members that would send you a couple to try or would have traded with you.

Step into my shoes. What do you do? I assume if I call TNT, they'll replace the shipment and have me send the Padrons back on a prepaid label. I'll get what I ordered at the price I paid (will have to wait a little longer, but ...). If I say nothing, I get a total STEAL of a deal on the Padron 4000 maduros (which I've never had).

I would call them and let them know what the problem was. If they make it right by letting you keep the Padrons or by shipping out what you paid for along with something for your trouble, then your problem is solved. If they ask for the Padrons back without any comps on their part, I would not do business with them anymore.
