Sorry to hear this Zos. Such things kill the moment of joy & enthusiasm. How sad!?? But some camera stores are known to ship returns w/o inspecting them.
Only a rather severe jolt in the box can move the sensor plane off center. You deserve a special add on offer from Adorama with a Brand New K-3. Please do check the shutter actuations using the website on the Pentax Forum. Whenever I receive a package or a carton with the sides crushed as if from a drop or a severe gash on it, I make it a point to mention this on the Delivery Order or through an email. Good Luck for a better K-3 this time. Regards.
