Wheel damage

So, I just got my HFP wheels from the UPS guy and one has a ding and a chip on the outside edge (aaargh). The box was fine, so it was packed this way. Neither will be visible. Anyone else had similar issues? Tires are waiting for the wheels now and it may be a while to straighten this out given the holiday etc. Am I expecting too much here? Of course, if I get a replacement, I'll likely slide it into a curb and really mess it up ;-) and this makes me wonder if I should bother with the replacement.

Get it replaced...getting something new with nasty damaged isn't pretty. You paid for something that is new not damaged. Call up the shop and have them replace that certain wheel. I dont think it's a good idea also to curb them even though you know you're getting a replacement lol.

I would wait and not mount the tires first and get them replaced...
