Are you saying you didn't order them?
Have they arrived?

Re: Unwanted devices
I don't as on the phone to someone from sky this morning saying I've got a free item coming, which sounded odd. Logged into my account and now got two Samsung tablets on there. No not posted yet. I wanted to fine away of removing them before I get charged and sent out

No, probably a scam. Did you provide sufficient details for scammers to order these?
You need to call Sky asap. See this link
https://www.sky.com/help/articles/account-takeover
The scammers will likely recontact you (again claiming to be Sky) saying they've made a mistake and to send it to a (non Sky) address. They then have the device and you have the bill. They may send packaging to post the item (to them) or even send a 'courier' to collect it.
With any unexpected calls from 'Sky' if the caller asks for your telephone password to confirm you're the account holder (which a genuine Sky agent should in my opinion) initially give an INCORRECT one on purpose. If the caller doesn't challenge it then you know it'll be a scam call.
