That's good news.
One look at that action and my vote would be to send it back. Probably not worth investing in the repairs as it's not American made. My $.02

30 seconds with a truss rod wrench and it would be fine. Once the relief is dialed in properly the action will most likely be fine without even touching the saddle.
Do you return a new car because the seat is in the wrong position?
The truss rod being adjusted made a huge difference. It's hard to tell from pictures. But I think the fact that it is MIM had some people leaning at the start.
All that said, it's not a bad guitar. My son is working to earning it. I think he's going to do it, and play it for a long time.
