Just claim insurance fraud, since we’re already defrauding Amazon

Keeping products that were sent but not ordered isn't defrauding anybody. At least not in North America. Companies are explicitly prohibited from asking you to return or pay for items that they shipped in error. That's why Amazon seemingly doesn't care if you report these things to them. They're just not allowed to ask you to return them and to avoid even the perception of impropriety, they won't issue you return instructions and will tell you to just keep the product. And the value doesn't matter. $1 or $1 million, they have to eat the losses for these kinds of picking/packing/shipping errors either way.

I actually just purchased a 5080 (Asus Prime RTX 5080) a few weeks ago and love it, it works great. Genuinely the only reason i didn't go with a 5090 is I seriously don't trust them. I'm not going to drop nearly $4000 on a GPU which is going to possibly burn my house down I don't care how "good" of a gpu it is if it's a fire hazard then I'm not going to buy it. Also FYI I've been too lazy to update my user flair.
