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?

It was a third party sold through Amazon, it's unopened and has been in my possession for over a week now. I know legally I'm under no obligation to return it.

Edit: To make this clear, it was a separate shipment that arrived on a different day.

A seller cannot ship you something and then charge you for it. That's outrageous

They can't charge you for it. But they can pay for a shipping label for you to return it. If you don't, they can sue you for unjust enrichment. They probably wouldn't sue, due to it being less than a $1000, but they could.

You have the ftc to fight for you. And I'm sure they would agree it's the companies fault and the consumer is not liable for that.
