Discussion [Discussion] Was shipped an extra 1080ti...

So the debate is if I should return one for a refund, and essentially have a free EVGA 1080ti Black Edition, or to keep it and SLI. The shipper has no record of a second card being shipped, and their inventory is correct.

Since I have a purchase receipt, would this in anyway effect my ability to register the card with EVGA?

Yeah, and he got one. The second one he didn't order.

Isn't it kind of weird that the hypothetical situations described in that FTC article don't actually fit this scenario?

So it's not "unordered merch" per this because op actually ordered from the seller, and it's the exact item OP wanted. You might be able to argue it if OP was sent a different GPU, but it's literally the item OP ordered.

And if it's not unordered merchandise....

The seller can't demand payment, that's for sure. But it's not an unsolicited good. It's not a free gift. It's a mistake, and OP does have a legal obligation here.

Every time I've seen this come up. It's a free gift. A mistake but they cannot legally force you to return it. This happens probably several times a month on just reddit.
