I've been eagerly awaiting a specific PCB for a custom build. I found it shoved into my mailbox because the USPS driver did not want to walk to the door apparently. Upon opening up the shipped packaging,I noticed there was a bare minimum amount of padding in the box and the PCB packaging had slight creases. The PCB itself is bowing slightly or bending away from the desk at the corners when placing the board in the key up orientation.

I'm thinking about returning the PCB and was curious what others think or would do.

Well, you can still get an answer here ?

I would say that you try to mount it, and if it attaches with enough screws they will make it flat since it doesn't look to bad.

Yes, I think it'll be ok once the switches are seated and soldered properly with the aluminum plate for the board.
