Am I Being Petty

Here's the story. I finally saved up for the suspension upgrade on my 85 911. Did a lot of research on this forum, based on that research, one company's name kept coming up as the better one to deal with (I purposely left the name out). I went on their website chose performance package that I thought would best suit my needs, but I still had some questions, so I called and spoke to a gentleman, and while we were on the phone I explained to him what I was expecting out of the package (in terms of driving experience).

We ended up adjusting the on-line form a little and finally got it where we wanted. At the bottom of the form the total dollar amount came up $2900.(being in the negotiating business for close to three decades) I asked if there was any wiggle room in the total, he said the prices are what they are (I had to try, but wasn't offended). I asked if there wasn't a discount is it possible if he could throw in a t-shirt or a baseball cap or a couple of stickers, or any combination thereof, he said sure, "at the bottom of he form there is a special instruction box just put what you just told me and we will take care of it"(least that's what he made it sound like).

Three days later two boxes showed up, took inventory of content(to make sure all components were there). Well almost everything was there what happened to my free goodies??? The reason I bring this up is when I placed a simple low cost order with our host they at least threw in a cool sticker (now I'm spoiled).

Am I being petty for expecting something for free even though I ended up spending close to $3100 after taxes and shipping cost, let me know what you think......
