Wespro 8 MP Digital Camera — Damaged Battery Supplied

I ordered over phone for a Wespro 8 MP Digital Camera(Model No.DS8060S) and paid the cost in full to Homeshop18. The order No. was[protected]. The product was delivered on 09.02.2010. On opening I found the battery in a split condition and unuseable. As such I also could not use the camera and confirm whether it is in order. When contacted Homeshop18 told me to contact the Service Centre at Guwahati. But this being new purchase why should I get it repaired or replaced at my own cost. The seller should take the responsibility of having packed a damaged battery. How the damaged battery be replaced. The Homeshop18 Team should immediately provide solution.
