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?

Amazon returns can be dropped off at any Whole Foods outlet. They’re more common than UPS depots.

Bought a record from a record store 6 months ago. It was IMO warped badly. Stylus would move up over 1/8th in every spin. Record guy tried to tell me it was normal and he wouldn’t take it back. I honestly couldn’t hear an effect from it but obviously in my mind it wasn’t right. He ended up taking it back after an amicable argument and I got something else. 
 

send it back. It could be a batch thing though so if ordering the same thing may have the same issue. 

I have hundreds of 50s/60s originals that sound great with no trace of warps. I’d say 30% of new pressings are warped. Mikey Fremer played three new records in a recent video and all were warped.

Not one of my old 2000  records is warped.  Only this new one which I exchanged for a more warped one!    
‘Kept the original and returned the replacement.
