ezl,

Before you panic, follow Rex's advice. Could be that car was over filled, or possibly car was tipped during shipping, dumping oil into the cylinders. As far as the oil pressure goes, the numbers you give don't seem out of spec for a warm engine. Mine often appears to show "0" at idle (after running at temp), and tends to show 10lbs. per 1K rpm. when running. I doubt something major happened in transit if the engine was good before shipping. Try draining all oil (from sump and tank), replace oil filter and refill to proper amount--try 20-50 wt. (it's ok to under fill as it's a dry sump system.) If the car runs fine but oil pressure seems low, check the sender also.
