I'm sorry that happened to you.
I ended up recieving 2 copies of one of the books that I ordered.
My sister was like 'just pretend you never recived it' but I felt bad so I asked them how I could ship it back and the company that shipped it to me said that I could (on this occasion) keep it. That was a huge relief for me, because it was rather a heavy book, and it cost me around $50 to send significantly lighter documents to the Queen so I was a bit afraid of how much it was going to cost me...
So, then I thought to donate it to the library. So I did that. And the librarian was actually super-nice about it. Like, really genuinely happy to get it. And I suggested they buy a companion volume from Book Depository (that was the donor really) and they agreed and so...
And so I guess I feel just a little teeny bit nice that I contributed towards something nice in this world.
Which is just a tiny small relief against this background of awful that is the injustice of the Universities of New Zealand refusing to process Degree completions and applications and the like.
