Regular occurrence unfortunately when booking Asian carriers on Delta. Try calling Delta and have them conference in Air China.
thanks

Air China is a Delta partner?

My friend had the same story when booking China Southern with Delta

Is this only with Asian Airlines?
Only with Delta?
Are others better?
What's the best way to prevent last minute surprises?

Any possibility for reimbursement?

Always confirm the booking with the Asian carrier when booking with Delta.

I got my bag in what I thought was less than 20 minutes from DL, but tried my luck with the 2.5k miles and scored. Is it possible that it's just not enforced?

Can confirm this. Bag was delivered in 15 minutes and I was still able to successfully complete the form. Just try not to kill it. (It sure is nice to get a 5k mile rebate for every trip…)
