Strange that some have very little of no damage and others are beyond hope. I wonder if somebody dropped a container or something. They must not be looking at the kits before they leave the warehouse. Mine must have been at the bottom of the pile. It shipped about 11/23. I opened it on 12/3. With only a small crack in the canopy. I sometimes wonder about the UPS/FedEx/DHL delivery people as well. I never have a issue with stuff coming to me, but stuff going to one particular area I have lots of issues with. Oh well. good thing it's so cold out anyway.
