In case you didn't receive vs In case you don't receive it

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'In case you didn't receive' is used when referring to a specific past event which involved something being sent. Meanwhile, 'in case you don't receive it' is used when talking about a future or general situation where something is being sent. The choice between them depends on the time frame you are referring to.
