Should I worry? Panel marks/scuffs.

Hello everyone,
I finally purchased my first panels, figured $75 was a good price for 315w Qcells.
I noticed some scuffs and scrapes when unloading them.
Would you be concerned?

Test them to make sure they have good output. As long as they have good output and are not cracked I wouldn’t complain for $75.
 
Thanks.

Ill dig the 'scuffed' ones out of the stack in a bit and throw the clamp meter on them. The 3 I have temporarily setup now seem to be performing great. Not even 10 am.

Here is the seller I bought the panels from, drove to pick them up. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again. They banded them to the custom pallet for me and put on the fork extensions to load in my truck.
They said anything over 300w sells out quickly. Freight is an option as well, rates to the nearest terminal were ~$300 less than residential lift gate.
