so a friend of mine that works at a store got delivered this awesome expensive sun glasses by accident as part of their shipment. Meaning they were not part of the shipment. Could he keep them without a problem or is fedex gonna come back talk to the store and get him in trouble? he is not stealing just got that "hey just found 100$ dollars on the floor" thang
who has worked at fedex or someone that has being at either end of something like this
thanks

The tracking number on package knows the box's rightful owner. He has the means to send it along its proper way. This package is not as anonymous as a random bill.

As far as I know you are under no obligation (other than moral, but who has those!) to return anything that was sent to you in mistake, nor can they charge you for an unsolicited delivery.
Folk used to run scams where they'd send you a box of stuff, then later send you a bill charging you for the shit you didn't order. Hence a law was passed to stop that from happening, thus, finders keepers.

hang onto it for 30 days, if no contact i'd say it's cool to keep

i once got a shipment of hardware that was assembled in Israel - they accidentally left a lot of their tools inside the box when they sealed it up. they were nice tools- but the customs tariff to return them + shipping was going to cost more than a new set of tools. in the end, we kept them. I still have some of them. they're good tools.
sorry, doesn't answer your question -

Off topic, but I ordered an external CD burner back in the day (christ, must have been around '96) from MacWarehouse, and in the box that was MUCH bigger than it should have been along with the CD burner was an $1800 Canon MiniDV camcorder. It was all in one box, but was not on the invoice and I hadn't been charged for it. I figure there was a disgruntled packing employee that day. Score!

Your friend works at a store. The package was not address to him personally. Your friend stole from the store as the shipment was intended for the store and store has the right to claim. Since the shipment is commercial, it is different from personal shipment. If they could prove that the shipment was by accident, they can rightfully request return.
I once had a RED camera shipped to a wrong address in a different city. They were able to retrieve and demand it because it was delivered to a commercial address. The shop fought to keep it for about a day. Once cops were called, they quickly give up.
Few things about it: in this case there was a proof that the package was delivered to the wrong address, it was a commercial address, there was an invoice proving that the rightful owner didn't get it.

If he signed for it, he could get in trouble no?

It ain't me baby. But yeah it will get returned. But sometimes ya know someone spending 1k probably is not hurting in life or cares
- it's kind of the same scenario, when an item is accidentally marked down. they MUST sell it to you at the price marked.ohhhhhsnap
- but if the shipment has your friends name on it. he's not obligated to send it back, less he wants something extra this year in his stockings.ohhhhhsnap
- in his stockings in december. he's watching.ohhhhhsnap
