Gentlemen,
I need your input. I just received my 1st pair of Black Rain. This is my 1st $400+ category shoes. My concern is the condition of the shoe box that it came in. The shoe box is torn in several places and there are some black (wax??) stain in side the box. Also the size embossed on the box say 7.5 but the white stickers on the box says 7. Shoes looks ok but needless to say I am bit surprised that my $450 pair of shoes arrived like this! Am I getting a floor sample or previously returned shoes? Is this normal or am I over reacting? I have been buying Meermin ($200 range) for several years now and it always arrived in pristine condition box. Please advice.
Thank you

These box issues are likely due to mail handling. Most of my Carmina’s have arrived in pristine condition, save for one pair. The mail handlers must have played football with the box.
As long as the shoes are fine, I wouldn’t batter an eyelid . As said above, probably the delivery company being heavy handed. Enjoy your shoes
@aajagar the black marks in the box are most likely from your shoes bumping against the box in transit. No harm to the shoes, though it is annoying when the post office folks leave you with a torn box.
It's just a box, so I wouldn't worry. I ordered some Cleverleys that also came with a damaged box. Probably fro shipping.
It's just a box...Gentlemen I sincerely appreciate your feedback. The shoe box was shipped within another outer box. The outbox had absolutely no signs of any abuse what so ever. No dents, no tears...it was perfectly fine. That is why I was concerned.
7M means 7.5
It's just a box...
