Good tips overall, but honestly, if you're buying from a reputable supplier, you shouldn't have to go through all that trouble inspecting every sheet. Sure, a quick glance for obvious issues makes sense, but flipping sheets and tapping edges seems excessive if you're dealing with quality stock. I'd say spend a bit more time upfront finding a reliable seller—someone local with a solid rep—and you'll save yourself a lot of hassle down the road.
Fair point, but even reputable suppliers can have off days or shipping mishaps. When I got my roofing sheets, one batch had minor dents from transport—nothing major, but glad I caught it early. A quick check never hurts...better safe than sorry, right?

True, inspections are crucial, but even then, minor dents or scratches might slip through unnoticed initially. I've seen cases where small imperfections led to corrosion issues down the line, especially in coastal areas. Did you end up applying any protective coatings or treatments after noticing those dents? Curious if others here take preventive measures for minor transit damages or just leave them as-is.
