Yes your peach should have done something now...if it is total sceleton then I'm afraid it would be better to send it on it's way...
No leaves..no nothing?

If you scrape the bark is it still green underneath?

Take it back right away - tell them you planted it according to instructions and ask for your money back, saying you are very disappointed. I have done this before. Many of the plants sold in these places aren't fit to be sold, often they have very little root system and have been neglected.

i went in today and told them about it  and they asked if i had a reciept for it which i hadn't so they wouldn't change it, she did say the people who supply them have a quick turnaround and they whip them out so quick they spoil the roots . i did notice they were still selling them though and they looked like they were dead also . i got myself a plum tree at my nursery, so  here i go again , at least it has leaves

nilly thanks for telling me how to get to my posts

It means it's alive. It doesn't necessarily mean it has trhe strength to recover.
