I ordered a DeVilbiss dekups kit and gun adaptor from an online paint supply vendor for about $40.
The dekups kit part number is DPC 654
I receive FLG 654 which is a DeVilbiss Finishline 3 gun with three tips worth $170, but they did not send the adaptor I ordered.
I called the vendor explained the situation, they agreed to send the dekups kit with adaptor and send a call tag for the gun shipped in error.
I receive a dekups kit with the wrong adaptor.
I call again explaining I still do not have an adaptor that works with my gun and have a gun kit I did not order or pay for.
They agree to send out the adaptor and a call tag for the gun kit.
The FedEx guy comes Saturday with the adaptor but has no call tag for the gun.

I don't feeel good about keeping something that I did not pay for, but my feeling is that if I ship this back, someone on their dock will just keep the gun since they clearly did not do any paperwork to process the return.

I made two attempts to "do the right thing", should I call it a day and keep the gun? I don't feel great about it, but I'm thinking of sitting on it for another couple of weeks and putting it up for sale here at a bargain price.

Have I fulfilled my obligation to try to resolve this?
