I can live with the tint, but it's definitely lighter as I put an original right next to it for comparison. Although it could very well just be the fact that it is thinner ... so less glass, less tint.
It was wrapped in bubble wrap (lots), had blocks of styrofoam, cardboard holders on the ends, foam around all the edges. Unwrapped it and took a closer look ... appears to have been dropped on the edge as there is a chunk out of the edge ... OR, almost looks like the box stapler could have caught the edge. Shattered much like yours OG. Break corresponds exactly with the position of one of the staples ... no apparent impact damage to the box at all.
I had a bad feeling when in the first day of shipping it had an exception due to unreadable bar code, then a couple of days of extra delays for no apparent reason ... usually the more time something is in the hands of the shipper the more likely it is to be broken.
The icing on the cake ... wife bought this for me ... today a notice comes from Capital One ... someone is trying to make a $10,000 charge on her card, last place she used it ... was to order this glass, the only place she has typed in her number and security code in months. So ... card cancelled, new one on the way.
When it rains it pours ... I have a feeling the next one is going to be broken too. Guessing things will get complicated at that point.
