Anyway, frame's arrived several hours ago and there's another problems. See plural there:
Hint: The Fork
No, you're eyes not playing with you. It's bent! The fork is bent!
There's a dent on a top-tube! About 15mm width and 1mm deep. I know it won't affect functions at all but it's visible and I know it's there. Nice, really nice! I did ask the seller twice whether there's any dents/dings at all, he confirmed twice there were none.
And another thing, the left dropout is bent! He told me just to straighten it with plier. Excellent!
Contacted the seller, tried to keep calm and see what solutions he'd offer me. I was calm until he blamed the courier saying they didn't handle the parcel correctly. Yea right! The seller himself didn't really package the frame safely. He put the frame loose inside the box and bubble-wrapped it single layer. And no "fragile" signs at all on the box.
Still trying to figure out the best solutions.
