7700k 4.8Ghz bundle packaging, is this normal?

My old 2500k gave up last week (well I think it was the mother board) so naturally I jumped on Overclockers to find a quick replacement.

I picked up the 7700k 4.8 bundle as it had everything I needed and I really didn't have the luxury of time to go through everything. (I needed the machine this weekend.) Yeah you pay a bit more, but time was of the essence.

When the package arrived, I was surprised to see the CPU packed with no anti-static bag, in a box with two bits of sponge that didn't fill the box so the process just slipped out. Is that a normal way to post a CPU??

Couple of other issues as well. The CPU cooler had quite a few dents.

And one of the fans had a sticker on that was impossible to remove without leaving residue. (The other was stuck to the other side so came off easily..)

All in it feels a bit disappointing. If this is whats '8 Pack Approved', then right now I guess that doesn't mean much.

Yeah, works fine and I can't return it as I've got to use it. Was just surprised. Just don't expect to take a heat gun to something that you've just bought.
