Yes but the receipt should have an invoice number which should be able to be looked up by rpm to tell specifics 
either way if mayhem did pull a fast one on ya. Its still pertinent to develop undisputed proof.
If your going to pursue it that way

Safety Car
i was curious if the switch that was cracked and glued back together have anything to possibly do with it? it is hooked up to the computer thru wires and if not working properly because its busted couldnt it cause the trans to not act properly? i dont know far as it locking up properly Chris because i really only drove it home on the highway and around town here maybe 3 days tops (about a hour a day) so i didnt notice if it was or not but i do know the car would idle high sometimes and sometimes not and if say driving down the road and i come to a hill and let off the gas to maintain speed it would sometimes continue to pull and sometimes it would downshift like it was being downshifted manually and sometimes it would go from say 2k rpms which is where i would be at around 45 to 50mph and when i let off the gas it would kinda stay at that rpm for a few then just drop down to 1000rpm like i was in a manual and put the car in neutral. so yea i guess it acted different all the time

I don't think the lockup runs thru the neutral safety switch, but I've never tried running without one either. There is another trans harness on the other side. That "cruise control" behavior and idle drop sounds like Throttle Cracker settings in the tune. It would be good to have your tune checked by another shop. Do you have HPTuners?

no i was going to buy hp tuners from a forum member last week or so but then the trans went out so that killed the funds for hp tuners and believe me i know more than anyone what this shop can and has done and dont trust the tune lol. Chris my Ti piping kinda looks like a black snake that has that blue highlight to it

Update!
so i called rpm today and was told the following.... my car was tuned for a 3.42 which is what was in my car a year ago like i said not a 3.73 like mayhem said to me that they looked at my tune and said it was tuned for a 3.73!!! gotta love some honesty right?!?!?!?! sent mayhem the tune file as well and guess what? silence!!! no response at all!!! I also still have issues with the parts i am missing which customers of mine are waiting on and 2 batteries that mayhem said they were old and both dead..... well the red top optima battery was brand new within 3 months or so before even going to their shop so it died from something on.... then get charged by mayhem for a replacement battery which also died again probably the same cause of sitting around for 6 months!!! so now i am told they were junk batteries... which both were paid for out of my pocket and were new when i had paid for both!!! now i have a sidepost battery in my vette and the other 2 were dual post for my audio equipment which i cant hook up cause i dont have the proper battery!!
If mayhem motorsports was the last place on earth to work on my car...... i would walk instead of giving it to them!

How car RPM tell if the trans was tuned for a 3:42 without even opening it up ? Or did someone look at the tune and see it was wrong tuned for 3:42s and the car has a 3:73 because mayhem stole your 3:42s

i sent the tune file from my car to rpm and they sent it to their tuner who confirmed my tune was for a 3.42 and a 3.73 is in it which when i got my car back from mayhem last december and put it on the lift at the shop i work at it had a 3.42 in it and when i got it back this october it had a 3.73 in it

they continue to deny it stating that the 3.73 has always been in it from day 1 of the swap 3 years ago which is totally false period!! I seen the 3.42 with my own eyes last year along with 2 other people who were there when the car was up in the air. I also know that the trans that was in it a year ago was a cast color rpm trans not a black trans that was in it this time. so basically the trans and rear that was in my car was swapped for whats in it now so alot less unbolting etc etc. when i talked to the owner of mayhem and he told me point blank that its always been a 3.73 in it which is a lie and said rpm only makes black transmissions which was also a lie then flat out told me he had the tuner at his shop pull up the tune on my car and they both said 100% tuned for a 3.73 again another straight out lie but im expected to believe that after 2 other parties have looked at my tune file besides myself and confirmed it was tuned for a 3.42 that they are being truthful about the swap? im not buying it as far as i can throw it!!! when i confronted the owner with ....remember you telling me rpm only made black transmissions? i said if thats the case why is another 1 of your customers cars in a pic that was uploaded to your shops facebook page show a car with a cast rpm trans getting put in it and is cast in color not black? he stated because they only make automatic trans in black which was another lie from the post a forum member posted on this thread of his automatic transmission in cast...
and finally he wanted me to email him a copy of my tune file as well which i did and have not heard anything from him since ....why? because he knows that the tune was for a 3.42 not the 3.73 he said that 100% was on the car..... when they switched my stuff that was the minor thing they forgot to cover up in getting caught and wants to blame it on the hp .... which i am sure that was the plan as they knew the trans was old etc and wouldnt last because you just dont burn up a trans at 15mph pulling out of a gas station and you dont use 825rwhp to get up to 15mph to do so...which basically means
SHADY BUSINESS AND BUSTED!!!
