if it says on the pack its something different to what you thought you had ordered, then the most likely thing is that they just sent you the wrong thing.

Check your receipt to see what you were charged for, so you know on what grounds you can return it.

(If you were charged for the 5300 model then you'll have to just say you got the wrong one and you want to change, you may be charged particularly as you slotted it in to your computer.

If you were charged for a higher model that you didnt recieve then you can return it asking for what you paid for :D)

Try looking at the stickers on the RAM sticks themselves, see what they say they are, they might have just put the wrong sticker on the pack.

It's not really that big of deal anyway. You won't notice in any applications.

PC 5300 and PC 5400 are basically the same thing - the bigger issue is recognizing it at the lower speed, and even that, again, won't make too much of a difference.
