I've just ordered an XP3. Does anyone know if it supplied with Bio Chem Stars?

Package received. No sign of obvious damage to the shipping or commercial box. I take the filter out of the box only to find the corner smashed in and two hinges broken off. Thank you API/Amazon, now I have to go through some kind of warranty claim while my tank runs the risk of another cycle.
I can't believe how loosely packed the filter is in the box. No chips, styrofoam, or foam holding things in their place. About an inch free space on either side and above the filter. If the box is not handled VERY carefully, its almost guaranteed to break.
Not a happy camper right now.
