Notify seller. Just give them time . They may pull though. If not, its on seller who contracted shipping. I would just let them be and see.
 
Agree with the other posts. Doesn't look like a whole lot to work with there. Sitting on the sand like you have them with mild flow is about all you can do and see what happens.
