Q: Crime for package being sent but card declined?
Is it a crime if I ordered something on a website but my card didn't go through and the package was still delivered? For backstory I was placing an order for holiday gifts and the company shipped the items but my card declined due to my rent and other bills pulling out. I don't know what to do/how to navigate this?
A: A Colorado attorney should advise, but your question remains open for two weeks. It does not sound like a crime, because you did not expect the package - which seems to have been delivered as an oversight, and what you describe does not appear to be an intent to deceive or defraud the merchant, but more of a mix-up. Speak with a local attorney, but one option could be to contact them to make arrangements to return. Good luck
