Def. annoying and I would feel the same way as you, but I think the issue of that would fall more on UPS and that's probably the stance that SX would take. It's also good to know that you plan on wearing these - if you had bought something to collect, then I would really weigh options, but I'd get the box back to it's regular shape (maybe stuff it with some things to keep the shape) and rock those bad boys. By the time you're ready to flip, someone isn't going to be mad that a used pair of shoes have an imperfect box.
