Scratch in my new rotor

Doing the brakes on a 1998 E150. I just received my Brembo rotors today from UPS. Heard the clang when they dropped them by the front door. It looked like they used to each be in its own box then placed together in a larger box. Well the individual boxes fell apart and the two rotors were touching.

Now I have about a 3/8" long scratch in my shiny new rotor. Its about the depth if somebody keyed your car. Is this something I should
A) Don't worry about it, it wont hurt anything
B)Send it back it will cause problems

Thanks
Jay

The way UPS treats packages they are probably warped anyway. If you drop them even once they need to be machined. Just take them to a brake shop and they will clean them up for $20 or so each.

If you know UPS did the damage, why not turn it into UPS to replace?
