Nissan's oil filter I feel SCWD!!!

Hi Guys. This is not a repost. I bought 10 pack of oil filters for both of my maxes from nissanparts.org I forgot to check maxima.org before placing an order.
I went on their site and ordered them thru on-lne catalog. 2001-> Nissan ->maxima. SH*T today when I got the package and opened it I was like WTF??? 10 small filters were laying in box part# is 15208-65F00. Hell i feel so screwed!!! Fortunately VQ30 engine is not listed on the filter's box!!! there's mostly VQ35 and QR20's. So do you think it's worth to claim that they sent me wrong filter and and my engine not listed on the chart? Basically I wanted 15208-9E00 which is way bigger.
P.S. I really don't feel like installing that toy filter.

call them up and tell them. just make sure they send your new filters with a shipping label so you dont have to pay for shipping the small filters back

Um, I knew about the preferences on here and orded the listed ones anyway. Several oil changes later I'm still running fine. So what are you going to do when the old version is phased out? Not drive anymore?

thanks for your replies guys. I talked to them and they don't really like sending them back. They say that it's fine for VQ30. I have three maxes though so I'll get rid of them pretty fast . Next time i'll know what filter to buy though.
