So far no error issues since lowering temp to 215--220. I believe I need more calibrating now the print walls have gaps in between the filament layed for thickness

You were flying too close to the safety cutoff, I take back what I said about the wire failure (though that is a common, but easily fixed problem).

What temperature were you printing at? BTW to reset the error, you need to unplug/replug the machine, or disconnect/connect in Repetier-Host.

But I agree 10,000% that you should not be having any issues at 1 week. Shipping can be hell on pretty much anything, so I can;t badmouth SD on this (although others could). Unfortunately, it would be cheaper and definitely faster to replace faulty wiring yourself depending on the true cause.
If you feel that you are wronged and unacceptable, contact SD ASAP. Just bare in mind they are at least one week behind on shipping new printers as promised. So it may take much longer for SD to fix it.

Catch 22 in my opinion.

1) Set the hot end (extruding) temp. at 210C-215C, don't set it at 225C，
     if the temp. Reached 230C, the M999 will be showed up.
2) Press the "reset" button, restart 3d printer.
3) Check wire connection.
