On a serious note are there any apple store around you? I would take it there ask to speak to a manager, show them your work order, hopefully if you plead you case they will swap it.

If there are non-Apple parts in the iPad, it's possible the shop that sold you the products cheated you by not providing a brand new device. Sounds like it was refurbished by the shop or a third-party. You could take that letter from Apple to the shop that sold you the iPad and demand your money back or a replacement.
