It could also be a too-tight jacket forced to split at the weakest point by too-thick 180 gram records. Or it can happen from the records being too loose and sliding around during shipping and punching through.
At any rate I took a picture and will ask them what they will do about it. Many times they have extra jackets, even for limited releases, and can send one free. Or at the least I expect a discount for damaged goods.
This actually happens to probably 25% or more of recent vinyls I have bought online. It makes me mad every time but sometimes I just don't care enough to report it.
