Exhaust Shipping Damage - What's acceptable?

So I just got my exhaust parts in this past weekend. My Top Speed from a pretty high rated eBay dealer, my Motordyne XYZ from Riverside Infiniti. Neither had any major dents, but both had some pretty noticeable scratches. My Motordyne pipe had a significant line of nicks on one part.

I realize this is all going to be on the underbody of my car and will probably be in much worse shape in a few weeks anyway, but I was just wondering what other people have experienced.

Long story short, both parts are installed and I didn't have a chance to take any pictures.

I'm not really known to be a disgruntled customer, so I guess it is what it is. I know the exhaust will look like **** when this winter is over anyway.
