a real hamon or wire brushed ? Wire brushed As in they made the wrong hamon pattern or there just wasn't supposed to be any differential hardening?

A pretty minor error, and likely SOP. Easy enough to fix by oneself, but let's see what happens.

One can sand them off. I’ve done it. Plenty of information on here if you do the research.

I've seen Metal Glo and Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish recommended for removing but etched and brushed hamon. Just takes some patience and elbow grease.
Very fine grit sandpaper would work, too, but be mindful of your bevels.

My experience with metal polishes is that after I finish working adjacent to the cutting edge it’s always duller, not much but duller, than when I started and needs resharpening.

*Update* they got back to me and said they had shipped it out right before Chinese New Years and avoided confirmation so it wouldn’t be a long wait, they said I can ship it back for a replacement or they can give a discount or something extra for the inconvenience.

Sounds like a very adequate response form the vendor. Case closed!

removing a brushed on hamon is possible but it can be a lot of work and getting the blade to look decent with self polishing is much more difficult than you might think, especially without experience. I'd say if you really don't want the hamon, return it for what you asked for or a refund and save yourself a lot of trouble and headaches. if the brushing is deep, just metal polish probably won't be enough.

Just be aware that shipping INTO China can be a huge mess. They don’t like imports of any kinds of “weapons”. Make sure to contact SoN AND check postal relgulations with whatever company you decide to use to make sure the sword isn’t impounded by customs and you’re out of $ and a sword.
