They were in fair shape when I received them. 2 were bent on their corner but I was able to reshape them somewhat. Also, the "V" shaped part of all the filters were not evenly spaced apart so I did what I could do to spread them out evenly. It shouldn't have been my job to fix these new filters.
From the time that I purchased these filters to the time that they arrived at my home was very quick. They are well constructed and will last a long time in my furnace/ac unit.
