You didn't get dinged, you got the item you ordered. You should contact Amazon about shipping issues since they're responsible for it. Also they don't guarantee delivery dates, and it's reasonable that shipments will be delayed occasionally.

Returning for the wrong reason just creates more work while you end up with nothing, and creates waste as the returns usually end up in the trash while the seller loses money and reputation for something they can't control.

Amazon does have guaranteed delivery dates. Almost always in my experience (I live in a top 5 metro area in the US). Sometimes they provide an estimate and it will be listed as such. But anytime they say, "Delivery date: specific date", then that is a guarantee.
