    HUGE Dent
    1 Star
    HUGE Dent
    Good product. BUT was delivered in a box (which showed no signs of damage) unwrapped in any kind of protective sleep or bubble wrap with a HUGE DENT near the bottom and NO PACKING SLIP. Like someone just threw it in a box and shipped it.It's a cosmetic complaint but when you spend over $100 bucks on something you expect to get an undamaged product. I chose to keep it, as it still works, and do not want to go through the hassle of returning it to the seller and then waiting to have a replacement sent to me. Whenever that might be.
