Are these medium geranium plants or have I been ripped off?

Just had a delivery that I’ve been waiting for of 70 geranium plants from a large gardening website. Not cheap but ordered them in medium size as I wanted to plant them out and not have to grow them on. I don’t have a greenhouse nor any ‘pots’ as we have not long moved and then lockdown happened. Only have some outside larger planters. These arrived. Don’t see how these can be medium. What on earth shall I do with them as they are tiny and so delicate to plant! Do they look medium to you?

To me those are real babies - they’ve only just got the first proper shaped leaves? But otoh I bet they cost a lot less each than mine!

I got these recently from B&M (white) & Aldi/Lidl (red) - both same price I think. (I only have a small back yard with a dozen or so pots so generally buy in ones and twos except for trays of bedding plants.)

fwiw these have been outside since I got them, at least 2 weeks and we’ve had some very cold nights in that time so these can stand it but yours maybe not. Would it be easiest just to cover them with fleece or bubble wrap if you’ve got any?

I agree put Them in your planters and put them out in the day if it’s not too cold but not in full sun if it’s hot. Water them sparingly while they are outdoors then your floor in your garage room won’t get too wet. Maybe stand the planters on some plastic bags when they are indoors to protect the floor.

I would have classified those as plug plants. Double check that there's nothing in the small print that specifies size - a reputable firm would say something like "10cm pot", then take it up with the company.
