Ben, while I usually respect your opinion, and always regard your posts as more than informative, I think you are wrong in this case.

It is becoming increasingly popular, in this faceless, internet connected world, for companies to expect the customer to take the initiative over things like this. It's simply wrong.

I wonder how it would stand up in court if VM wanted to charge a customer for a box that had been available for collection for 6 months?

You say it's simple to contact VM to arrange a collection. It's even more simple not to!

I'm not saying bin the box, or sell it on evil-bay, but it should be in the owners interest, i.e. VM, to collect their own kit. You say we all pay for the discrepancies in the end. This is correct, but it's VM's shoddy attitude in not collecting the kit, NOT the customers.
