Rotors arrived chewed up from shipping.

Would you accept these? Zimmerman rotors arrived with virtually no padding. nothing and install or send back?

Scuffs & dings are one thing, but that crack ? no - dont install them. Dont run them at all, get back in contact with whoever supplied them to you. The condition they are in is replacement worthy.

thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t being unreasonable.

I *think* that crack may be just in the coating layer. I ordered a pair of zimmerman calipers too and was amazed at the lack of padding in the shipping box. Mine didn't look as bad as yours do though.

You might be right on the crack but there were definitely dings elsewhere on the rotors. They arrived in a retaped box and obviously were poorly packed. ECS issued me a RMA on the rotors. I reordered from Pelican for local pickup and the new rotors were in a sealed box and mint condition. Somethings are just not meant to be shipped fedex/ups I guess.
