I would not worry chris, you will most definitely be compensated decently for this incident.

Unfortunately Flavius is likely correct regarding the law. In most states, there is no legal obligation to return or pay for items sent to you that you did not order. This is to prevent companies from sending unsolicited items and then demanding payment for them. Of course, it also means that people who are sent items legitimately by mistake generally have no obligation to return or pay for them.
Of course, even if there's no legal liability there could be some civil liability. Who knows what would happen if this were sent to small-claims court...
