If goods are sent to you randomly, you may keep them.

And it may be a criminal act for the suppliers to ask for payment.

But this is a case of error/accident. The same would apply if you had
ordered white shoes and been sent black ones.

You should advise the supplier of the error and cooperate with any
reasonable attempt to recover the goods.

In terms of fairness, turn the mirror around and ask yourself "what
would I expect if I had made the mistake"
