So, your question is this:

Is it ok to steal?


Send it back, ask that they pay the shipping...

Keeping the product would be entering you into a quasi contract which would require you to pay for the product. Ask them to send you a return label, or put return to sender on the package and put it in the postal box

a "quasi" or implied contract seems like being just a little bit pregnant to me.:p

Either your are or you're not pregnant. If there is a meeting of the minds and consideration there is a contact. If there is none, there is no contract.
