I already received vs I've already received

These phrases are both correct, but they would be used in dissimilar contexts. 'I already received' is used in simple past tense to indicate that the action of receiving has already happened in the past. 'I've already received' is used in present perfect tense to indicate that the action of receiving happened at an unspecified time before now. The choice between the two phrases depends on the specific context and the desired emphasis on the timing of the action.
