If you can't comfortably ride the bike with the seatpost at the proper height, the bike is too small for you.

No, you "should of" bought a larger bike.

So you're saying that the distance from the bottom of the seatpost to the minimum insertion line is less than 10cm? Post a pic of that measurement.

So you assembled the bike yourself? Pretty sure the instruction manual advises that the bike be assembled by a professional.

I think you can be pretty sure it didn't.
