Well, it's a fairly recent thing.  We just did this on one of our last
orders.

The best way to solve that little problem is to call him and gently explain
that what he sent is not what you ordered.  Ask him to please wrap what you
ordered and send them UPS overnight -- assuming that you need them that
quickly, we usually do -- and to please not do that again.  It shouldn't
happen twice.

Yes, they are.
