Where's the needle??!!

Alright guys, help me out asap. I opened a syringe that I ordered from the hawks eye, and came to find that there wasn't a metal needle. At least I can't see it. There's a white plastic covering which holds a blue plastic covering. Where the hell is the needle?? And the informational paper that comes with it mentions that the needle is no longer shipped attached to the syringe, but to twist the white covering off and attach it then. So does this mean he doesn't ship needles? I must be missing something here.... And does this mean that I can no longer use this needle?
Attached pictures for reference.

And since everything seems to be plastic, how would I flame sterilize?

All that was in the box was a piece of paper and a ziploc bag full of the syringes. I've emailed the vendor. Perhaps I'll try to buy some needles tomorrow at the pharmacy.

Do you have a Rural King near you? If so, go to the animal supplies section and there will be pre-sterilized needles. Any gauge will do but I like the bigger/longer ones.
I've tried the pharmacy, they don't have what your needing. At least my Walgreens didn't.

i did to...must just be my minds eye; it knows it should be there, so it just visually assumes it is.
you made the right move contacting them. maybe you'll get free stuff...like a sticker. wait, can you noc up cakes with a sticker? 
i use LilShopOfSpores for my cubes, and Out Grow for edible LC syringes. both have a great "buy some, get some free" deals.
sorry for your luck brother, what a pain in the dick.

well theres a good chance that it is now. you really should not have taken the cap of the syringe and just left it sitting exposed like that.

Its the 4th of July wait for THE to respond to your message, most vendors supply a needle with the syringes. I have never ordered from THE so I don't know how he does things. I assume this was just human error and he forgot to pack the needles unless on his site he says needles sold separtly or something. From now on I wouldn't remove the blue syringe cap before you have the needle, you will contaminate your syringe.
