Absolutely.
I do it frequently because I am like a little kid and want to make sure everything is OK and then I want to install it on the car as soon as I open it, that's why I take the day off.
Priorities!

UPS just found the C5 seats I bought about a month ago. They lost them. Owner is re-shipping via Fed-Ex. Work won't accept personal deliveries.

How could they loose 2 huge boxes???
