Sounds like you should be calling the place you bought it from and asking for a replacement ASAP.
Truth be told, I've moved fridges around plenty of times, and completely disregarded the wait time, and have not had a problem.

It is generally only an issue it the fridge was laid on its side at some point during transportation. The compressor oil makes it's way into the cooling tubes and can take a while to drain back into the compressor.
Supper picky, but modern fridges don't have freon anymore, they use R134a but sane difference.
