Thats the way it went. After my order, I received one day prior to the commited date. I was happy. But then when I opened the package I was disappointed that the flask was dented as in the picture. No way amazon could be blamed but was enough to dent the image of amazon by the seller AM Store.
So next time, I will be sure not to purchase products with the particular store.
Note:
I had ordered for replacement.
Let me share once this is done.
