I know this damage is disturbing and I would certainly return it.

I agree with your statement. And I would certainly accept minor hairlines or even moderate scratches without complaining.

The lugs end links were deformed from the damage, one so much that it rubs on the next lug, so it is "stiff" as indicated in my last picture.
