Sounds like they actually did a good job letting you know and getting it to fairly quickly.

I had to cancel my Sunday afternoon plans to wait for my bag to be delivered. The delivery guy called at 2 and said he would be here in 30 min - 2 hours. He showed up 2.5 hours later and I had to go out to the street to meet him (I live in a NY apartment bldg) while I was in the middle of cooking.
<This> sounds like the absolute most horrifying part of this entire ordeal! Heavens to Betsy! No doorman in your building, I guess? Would it have been possible to have a friend or neighbor accept it for you?

Personally, I wouldn't even ask. I save my complaints for thingz that truly ARE much larger inconveniences. Sure, they'll probably give you a few miles, but this type of a complaint seems like a nuisance complaint. Have you seen the story about the Rabbi who complained too much? Just sayin'.
Welcome to FlyerTalk - Delta forum! 
Congrats on achieving Silver Medallion status! When you get more miles under yer belt, you'll look back on this story and realize just how trivial it really is!
