I am just amazed this thread has no reply.  I was buying a Z97-A, and got serious trouble directly when I opened the box.  Just as you experienced, some pins where badly bent in the processor socket.
As I am old customer to my supplier, there was no problem getting a new one directly. But if I have been a green blueberry, I can imagine how to convince the supplier that it was not me doing this defects. Now the box was not having a seal so it was already open. Thats an hint if you buy something.  Check that is sealed.

You SHOULD SERIOUSLY get a new mobo, Ashley.
