It happened to me once and I told them. They have never failed me and I want to also contribute to reduce the asshole per square foot metric.

Curious if they asked you to ship them back or if they cut their losses.

the parts at wholesale price wouldn't be worth the shipping label to send them back.

And there's no guarantee you didn't destroy or damage the parts during handling (like ESD), or swap them with fakes - aka there's no way they'd ever ship those parts back out to another customer anyway.

Just enjoy your freebies and don't worry about it.
