CB550 Gasket Bend

I'm fairly certain I know the answer, but I figure I'll ask anyways. Got a head gasket in the mail, and even though the package said "DO NOT BEND", the mailman still shoved it into the mailbox.

About what I figured. I won't get to chew out the post office until friday evening, they pull this kind of stuff all the time. Minimum effort, no concern.

One way ticket back...

They could've packaged it better though, who knows how its handled even before the postman delivers it out?
