I speak up, and 99 times out of 100 they say "ha, whoops, no big deal, it's on us."

The feds already have rules on this sort of thing. When someone sends you unsolicited goods you didn't order, they are yours to keep.
> Finally, what if you accidentally receive a high ticket item in from an online order. 3 months later, the online retailer figures out what happened, and asks you for the item back. If you refuse to send it back, should they charge you for it?
That's actually the same example. You're asking moral questions, but they have established legal answers.

Likewise, if Amazon sends the wrong item to a customer, they have to send the right item, or refund the purchase. I wonder if this also applies to packages being delivered to the wrong address.
