This doesn't happen often, but I thought a package from a used bookstore 
got lost in the mail. I wrote them, and they said, we're sorry, here, have 
another one!

Sadly, I then discovered that it was the post office that forgot to notify 
me of the package, so it had been sitting there unclaimed for 4 weeks and 
I got it 2 days before it was going back.

I wrote the book store and apologized and asked if I should return the 
books or pay for them (I could always use them as gifts) and they said, 
don't worry, it's on us!

Needless to say, I _will_ buy books from them in the future! =)
