If the boxes are mangled, it is not necessary to take pics of the boxes before you open them. It is still nice to do so Axiom can see this which can help them constantly improve in any way on their packaging. Axiom has damage insurance claims with their shipping companies so if there is large cosmetic damage, they usually ship you a brand new product and ask you to send back the damaged unit (at no cost to the customer of course).
