I thought I'd chime in as someone who has dealt with bouts of depression most of her life. Thankfully medication and lifestyle adjustments have helped tremendously.
At any rate, I think if a friend had taken the time to send a care package even in my worst days I would have still accepted it regardless and at least sent a thank you even if it was a quick e-mail or text. And while I do empathazie with your friend and what they are going through to me it seems like it was sort of a passive-aggressive move on their part. Unless they magically managed to move between the time you confirmed their address and when you mailed the package out.
With that possibility noted above, I think the best course is to let them know you care for them and if they need help to reach out and leave it at that. I also believe with depression that people need to realize on their own when they should ask for and get help, I know in my own situation in those moments I just felt like I had no control over life (even though in hindsight I did). As hard as that might be for fixers to hear. Best of luck.
