I had no open orders with Music Magpie when it was sent.

Ye basically people who ordered the CE from them had their order cancelled since they couldn't get stock. Then when the Standard Edition came out suddenly had that mailed out.
This is covered by the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 as an unsolicited order, which voids any rights the seller has to ownership of the item.

I never actually have the standard edition arrive so I have no clue if they sent me one, or not. I just know that everyone who did order the CE from them to have it cancelled has had one sent out.
The reason I'd be annoyed is since I have nothing to do with them after the order was cancelled, and haven't used them since. If I were to suddenly get charged for no reason I'd be very annoyed.
Knowing the laws that protect you as a consumer is how you prevent yourself being screwed by the mistakes of a heartless company.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd feel so guilty, that I'd write and ask if they wanted it back...
Also, given seemingly nobody affected by this did that, why shouldn't Music Magpie treat them as heartlessly as they treated MM?

Zavvi has Outlaw Star Blu Ray for £39.99. The VC50 (10% off £50+ orders) code can be used with it, if there's another set you're interested in.
I think this price is only going to last until midday today.

I bought a movie from All Your Music once, and they stuck in a copy of Muv Luv Total Apocalypse Part 2 alongside it by mistake. I contacted them and they gave me a Freepost address to send it back. There ain't a lot of karma in this world, it's best to save up as much as you can.
I would always contact them and ask how to send it back. The unsolicited goods rules are for when companies send you a product for marketing purposes e.g. a 'free' laundry basket which you can either keep and pay for or send back. Since you never asked for a laundry basket in the first place, it's unreasonable of them to expect you to go to the trouble of sorting it out; it wastes your time and you get nothing out of it. In the case of Tokyo Ghoul it's clearly a mistake where people ordered a CE and the huge monolithic company didn't realise that the identical-looking-to-them standard set wasn't the same product. Obviously they screwed up and it would be fair to demand some kind of compensation for the inconvenience like a coupon, but keeping the replacement item as unsolicited and refusing to pay does sound a bit off (and like a good way to be blacklisted by the company). Maybe it was deliberate and they don't need you to return it, but opening communication to find out for sure would be the reasonable way to react.

They were pretty bad at packaging about a year or so ago, but I think they've gotten a little better since then.

Well this just got weird.
Got a reply from Music Magpie stating that they have no record of charging me for anything on Thursday and to send them an image showing the charge. The app for my card can generate pdf receipts for all transactions so I have sent them a receipt for the charge.
Still this was already strange seeing as the transaction put me into negative balance on a prepay card.

RightStuf has started their Annual Holiday Sale. Not sure I'm going to indulge myself this year like I did last year now that the exchange rate is so poor. @NormanicGrav normally makes much better posts about the daily sales than I ever could hope to achieve, they normally sway me into buying something.
I'm working on the Day 1 list at the moment.
Just to note, I've decided to place all of the Rightstuf sales in its own thread for easier reading.

Zavvi have the FMA UE back at £124.99. I think that was the same as AL Early Bird Deal?

That is indeed the same as the Earliest early bird since there were 2 tiers of early bird

Received a transaction log for my account from Music Magpie and it shows the last transaction being at the end of July. They seem to have no idea why I was charged. This is looking more and more like a fraudulent transaction.
