Thanks for the advice Randy. 

I ran my hand over the skins when I pulled them out, but I'll unwrap and check them during my inventory over the next couple of days...just in case! 

The skins were under a sheet of foam at the bottom of the crate.  I did notice what seemed to be a footprint on the foam but don't think it would have caused any damage to a skin,  It might have been done before the foam was put in the box as well. 

The inventory sheet packaged with my bill has all the contents listed, but some are marked with an "X" and others with a checkmark!  Don't get that, maybe some stuff was on backorder or different people were involved with the packing and marked it in their own way?  That would make me nervous!  I'd prefer only one person was marking things off on the sheet as the items were placed inside!  I'm hoping it's all there!  Seems to be, but I've heard of some guys finding out they were missing some parts.

Mark, be aware of things setting on the skins. I didn't notice anything damaged when I pulled everything out of the box, but when I started to build, I have 4 skins so far with a round dent, like from a heal of a shoe or a 2 1/2' pipe was dropped on the skins. Nothing I did, I was very careful to not damage anything. I only opened the ends of the skin paper to count for inventory. Very disappointed to find this after I started building. Have fun with your build.
