Question:
Hi Rabbi,
Several years ago, I made a large order for pickup at a kosher store that was further away. They accidentally delivered an extra of one item. I called them to let them know and they told me to bring it back next time I came and I said ok. I didn't go to that store very often in person. I don't remember exactly but I think either the item was lost or accidentally used by another relative. I then tried to pay the store by calling them and leaving a message and asking them to charge me for that without sending the item on their order form. I think they may have been confused but I never heard back. What is my obligation at this regarding this item.
Thanks very much
Answer:
Hello,
Being that you are not sure if you paid them back or not, and they also don’t know, they wouldn’t have a v\clear claim against you, however "לצאת ידי שמים", you should pay them for it.
Best wishes
