Default Ordered Something, Havent Been Charged Yet..

Hey, need some advice...

I ordered some stuff from a company mid July. They split the order in two since one item was being shipped from elsewhere. They took my CC info, charged it, and told me the drop ship item will take a few days to ship out. I said ok. 3 days later recieved the one box from them, the next day recieved the drop ship box. However, the day my first box came in, the charge for the drop ship item disappeared from my CC. Now, 2-3 weeks later, that charge still has not came back up. I contacted my bank and they said there is no pending charges from them, and if it was on my CC then fell off, that means that the company did not accept the charges.

Should I just shut my mouth and see what happens or should I call the company and ask them to charge me? Their customer service did suck and almost made me not want to buy from them (no replies to any emails, had to wait 10 mins on hold to order, sales person seemed like they didnt care) but at least the items were shipped quickly and I got the exact things I wanted that noone else had. What should I do??

This is an ethics question...

Obviously this benefits you, so that's not in question. This is no different than say finding a wallet with $100 on the curb. Morally you should turn it in; you bought the part, you got the part, you should pay. Morality is in your hands now.

Their accounting dept. will locate the imbalance and trace it back to you so you would likely recieve a phone call in the future if you don't get it straightened out right away. That would be my guess.

If it's less than $10, forget about it. It's not worth the hassle. If more, try to get the money to them but only after they aknowledge that you will be sending the balance you owe..

Merchants have up to a year to bill your credit card. So if they didn't bill it now they will sooner or later. I'm sure it slipped now but will eventually catch up on accounting. I'd just pay now and get it over with.
