I don't know about any other countries, but certainly in Britain if
you receive goods that you have not requested, they automatically
become your property.  No one has the right to send something through
the post and expect to receive anything in return, whether or not the
recipient makes use of it, whether or not there is a note attached
saying "send me $xxx or I will scrap your hard disk".

Someone in Sydney may have to pay you for your dog hair, but rest
assured that no-one in Britain need do so.  And if you send me
exploding dog hair, I'll fight for your extradition :-).
