Well,
I would be angry too. I assume he had no good answer for you, and parts really were not ordered on Monday. (you could find that out easy enough)
I wouldnt waste to much energy, becuase you will simply take more time off of YOUR life. I would send a formal, and professional (but brief) letter to the dealer. If they dont respond (dont threaten them) in one week simply forward a VERY brief letter to Yamaha with the letter you sent the dealer attached. Let it play out, but if you speak with anyone DO NOT get loud emotional etc or all bets are off and they will simply clasify you as a loose cannon.
My 5 cents

I'm no attorney but my knee jerk reaction is that you had a contract that defined the price of the parts and shipping. Without getting into weather they actually ordered the parts when promised or had the shipping expedited as specified, they have no right to change the terms of the shipping after the fact. Can you say bait and switch! Look into it, nothing like a threat to file a complaint with the states Attorney Generals office.
In MI there are big fines to pay for bait and switch and incorrect pricing. The AG guys love this kind of shit! Gotta justify their existance and the merchant has no choice but to pay the fines. Too costly to fight it. As a result the consumer has a lot of leverage when some dipshit like your dealer tries to take advantage of an urgent situation.
Good luck
