Thanks all for the help!
Same thing happened to me. A couple of the wheels looked off to me so I pulled off one them and, sure enough, it was the rear part mounted on the front passenger side (I couldnt find the offset stamp though, so, I looked it up using the part number). Even better, the wheel that they put on the front clearly has an R written on the inside of the tire.

Any word on whether this is likely to cause any damage due to the reduced brake clearance on the rear? I didnt have a spare or a stand so I couldnt change them myself. I have it back in the shop tomorrow for the swap, so, Ill report back if there's any damage found.
