I bought a kayak for my fiancee online (Perception Tribute 12) - locally there wasn't anything available for her.
CEVA is the freight shipper. It is to be delivered today 9/15/2015 - any advice regarding receipt or potential "pitfalls"?
Poly
Certainly check it for shipping damage, but poly kayaks are fairly tough, and any structural damage should be visible. I’d only expect problems if very heavy things were stacked on it or someone impaled it with a forklift.

So look for dents and holes. How likely are flat spots to occur - kayak traveled for 5 days and temps were cooler mid 70's.
Hopefully CEVA will be patient during inspection
Thanks for the input

Well the boat had a significant warp or bow in the stern - bummer because this was for my fiancee.
