I cannot believe that a capacitor would actually come unsoldered and fall off a pcb; it's more likely that it was packed loose for some odd reason and just happened to drop out when you opened up the box. I've never come across a component not taking any solder at all having passed thro a solder wave. Does it look like it has been soldered at some stage?
