More re TheSource 351607 Back order

I'm not proud of this one, but their reply annoyed me to no end, for some reason, so I morphed in mighty morphin' super-B for a moment, then hit Send before I could stop myself.

I wish to receive the camera. 
If I didn't, I wouldn't have ordered it.  And paid for it immediately.
I wish my daughter could receive her birthday present on time.
Receiving a picture of a camera is a lousy gift.
I wish your website hadn't said it was in stock when it clearly wasn't.
I wish your customer service person hadn't said it would be in by "this Friday at the latest" when it clearly won't.
 
Oh, and "thank you" doesn't need a hyphen, but a comma would have been nice between "order" and "please."
Nothing anyone there can do about any of my wish list items, but maybe you can fix your grammar.

I applied for a writing award yesterday. I'm not going to get it, but that's not what I wanted to share with you. Here's what I wanted to share. This box:   I stared at this box for a long, long time. And then I decided not to check it. Even though I believe people like me truly are underrepresented, we probably wouldn’t fit the definition in other people's minds. Why? Well, because we're European. Because we are white. Because as everybody knows, Jews control the media. (do we???) If anything, some people say, Jews are over -represented in publishing. And yet. Some definitions are careful not to include people like me. Like this random definition from the State of California which defines underrepresented for some very specific business purposes as: "an individual who self-identifies as Black, African American, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Alaska Native, or who self-identi
