“But this doesn't apply to items sent to you by mistake (as happened to Robert); if the order was sent to you twice; or if there's extra stuff on top of what you ordered. If a firm has left goods with you that weren't unsolicited goods, they still belong to the trader and you should try to give them back.”

“Not unsolicited goods

  1. If you have been sent items by mistake; such as a duplicate order or additional items, mistaken identity, wrong address, in your name but you didn’t order them, any kind of fraud”

“5) If you have had any contact with any company and you have any order with them and they send you something different/additional”

Additional items or wrong items in an order you did place with a merchant you are expecting items from is NOT unsolicited goods.

If you purchased a PlayStation 4 on Amazon and received a PlayStation 5 instead, you should immediately contact Amazon to let them know about the error. It is possible that the PlayStation 5 you received was mistakenly sent to you and was intended for someone else. If this is the case, Amazon will likely ask you to return the PlayStation 5 and send you a replacement PlayStation 4.

If Amazon registers the PlayStation 5 as stolen and it becomes unplayable, you will need to work with Amazon to resolve the issue. This may involve returning the PlayStation 5 to Amazon and working with them to identify the source of the mistake. It is important to cooperate with Amazon and follow their instructions in this situation, as using a stolen product can have serious legal consequences.

In the meantime, it would be best to avoid using the PlayStation 5 until the issue is resolved. If you have any concerns about the legality of the product you received, it is always a good idea to seek legal advice.

Thanks, this is really helpful. Sorry for the very general question. I’ll try to research some more on the topic based off your suggestions. What are some good sites? Also, are Nintendo switches worth it? Is there like a console equivalent?

according to Citizens Advice. Items that firms send to you, but you didn't actually order are called "unsolicited goods". You're well within your rights to keep them. You have no obligation to send them back to the company or to pay for them.
