If a company sends unsolicited merchandise and asks for payment, the recipient does not have to pay and can retain the merchandise. If this was the result of carding, then it is receipt of stolen property; granted, it may be entirely innocent, but the potential difficulty and expense of proving that is not worth a stack of video cards. Personally, I'd contact Nvidia and offer to send 10 back at my expense. (And yes, I get that it's not real; but, it is a fun hypothetical!)
 
If it was addressed to someone else from the usps, it's a felony. However, no matter the delivery service usps, ups, fedex, etc., if it's addressed to someone and you deprive them of their property you'll still get in trouble.

If addressed to you or no address visible etc...

I wasted time on this thread.
Crying or implying "wolf" just makes others wary of giving credence to such people in the future.
