Warped record


I just received a record from Amazon, beautifully packaged and protected for a change.  However the record is warped.  
Question is will it affect the sound and/or damage the cartridge?

@ellajeanelle , Amazon makes it really easy to return items. Records warp if you look at them funny. If you don't like warps don't buy records. All warps ar audible in the form of wandering pitch. A good arm will follow any warp. Don't like warps? Get a turntable with vacuum clamping. Only the warps that won't seal are returned. Every record is as flat as a billiard table and as thick as the platter. 

@whart I almost bought the Orb, but since I've owned a turntable with vacuum clamping I've had only three records that would not seal and it is way more cost effective to return them. I also think I've run out of space. I suffer from TMS (too much sh-t)
