Why have I been sent a LoRa module of 434MHz by default when I live in the UK, an 868MHz LoRa region? There was no opportunity to select an alternate LoRa module frequency!
As it says on the website, all kits are being shipped with a 433 MHz LoRa module. The fact that 866 MHz in the UK (and in other regions) is an exclusive LoRa band, does not mean LoRa cannot be used on other frequencies. In all of Europe this is also part of the 70cm amateur radio band, so all hams can use it. In addition, in all of Europe this is also in the ISM band, which can be sued without license for small power (as is the case here).
You will only use LoRa if there are other Morserinos ion the vicinity (maybe a 100 m max). If any other Morserino user happens to be in your vicinity, you will be able to talk to him, as he will also have a 433 MHz module. If no-one is near you, you are not going to use LoRa anyway.
... It is illegal(?) to use out of local region LoRa frequencies!
It is not, as far as I know, see above.
There is no email address associated with the Morserino-32 shop to identify problems with purchasing.
When you order the Morserino you got an order confirmation, a later a processing notice and a shipping notice by< email. Replying to any of these messages will bring your message to my mailbox.

I trust somebody can help me and the Morserino-32 project resolve this difficulty. I am disabled, confined to bed, living in isolation here in the UK that might explain my lack of intelligence? With thanks in advance
