I've also found that sellers try and pressure you to resolve the case immediately - tell them that if they post a refund you can resolve the case, otherwise you'll need to receive your replacement parts first.

Thank you for the recommendations.  I have opened up a complaint and am waiting for the seller to respond.  I'll update everyone once I hear back.  For reference, the seller is smallpartsbigdifference.  18,015 feedback of 99.7% so hopefully he will make good.

I will have an opportunity to power these up on a breadboard in a couple of hours, so I'll see just how bad they are.
