Well it showed up today. I was a little concerned when I saw a hole in the side of the box but once I opened it I was relieved. Here are the pictures of the obvious scratches and dents.
Here is the front pic.

The only pic of a dent that I did not include is on the back but I could not get it to show up. Hope this helps anyone who wanted to see it.

I just did the initial clean with some oxyclean and windex to get the inspection stamps off the glass. Let it sit outside for an hour to dry and then did a baking soda wipe down. I now have some baking soda sitting in the unit while it runs to test the mechanics of the unit. So far it seems to be cooling ok. Room temp is 74 and the inside temp on the coldest setting is now at 55 after 2 hours running.

Got my beads in yesterday and have them in a cooler now. Any more advice on setting this up is more than welcomed.

Set the temp where you want it, 64, 66.
Yes plug the drain, i calked mine.
Put in some boxes, and beads and dont open it for a day or so.
Then take a reading. Keep a hygro inside one of the boxes and also
in the unit.
