The UPS tracking says my Bradley is on the truck for delivery today! What should I check for when unpacking? Things that typically get damaged or come out of adjustment?

 Aside from looking for any dents. Be sure to check for any obvious cracks in the plastic parts. (i.e. faceplate)  One thing that I would do is loosen the screws that hold the faceplate 1/4 of a turn.  There has been cases of them being overtightened at the factory and with the heating and cooling of the unit, the faceplate has been known to crack.

4Given,

Like MikeCorn said, these folks LOVE pics.  I hated having to use photobucket as a hosting service.  (Yup I'm technologically lazy).  Just downloaded "TapaTalk" to my I-phone the other day, and I am off to the races with posts-with-pics.  My first posts in the forum always promised pics, but were rarely followed-up with them.  Now that I've got an easier way to do it, I'm gonna post pics of all my smokes (well maybe not the complete failures  :-[)

Anyways, season her, fire her up, and prepare to get a ton of new friends.
