You received non-conforming goods as a result of an ambiguity in the contract.

You ordered goods thinking it was a particular product.  You wanted Razor

scooters as that was the original oral communication when the selling merchant

was first contacted by you. Thereafter, in phone conversations, you and the seller

just talked about scooters.   The selling merchant shipped scooters but not Razor

scooters.  Upon receipt of the goods, what are your merchant options under the

contract?
