Yes, contact Lyben and tell them what happened.  Give them a chance to
make good on the mistake before you complain to the network.

Lyben Computers is located about 3 miles from my home.  I have purchased
several items from them and have had no problems.  I have been in their
store several times and they have been very helpful in answering
questions.
