【解析】

第一處：complaint前加a。make a complaint是固定搭配，意為＂抱怨＂。

第二處：send→sent。根據下文可知，作者已經收到了書，所以send是過去發生的動作，故用一般過去時。

第三處：week→weeks。week為可數名詞，且結合前面的several 可知，此處應用其復數形式。

第四處：final→finally。此處意為＂今天上午，我終于收到了你們書店(寄出)的包裹＂，應用副詞修飾動詞，故用finally。

第五處：eager→eagerness。此處表示＂帶著渴望，我打開了包裹＂，with后面跟情感名詞，表示＂帶著……的感情＂。

第六處：in→to。此處表示＂令我失望的是＂，應用to my disappointment。

第七處：missed→missing。＂我＂發現這本書的封底不見了。此處在句中是形容詞作賓補，missing意為＂缺失的＂，符合語境。

第八處：刪去but。Although引導讓步狀語從句，but連接兩個并列句，此處為兩種句型的雜糅，故刪去but。

第九處：other→another。此處表示另外一本書，應用another。

第十處：are→is。這表明你們的客戶服務方面仍然有改進的空間。room表示＂空間＂的意思時是不可數名詞，故用單數is。
