Warm it a blow dryer or heat gun and try again. Don't get it too hit though.

Try setting it in the Sun, then resquishing it

I would guess you are at a higher elevation than autogeek. My bottles come like this sometimes also and I just open the lid remove the seal and it'll straighten the bottle out.

Open the bottle remove the seal and squish it, if that doesn't work get a pencil or pen and press the plastic from the inside out. That always works.

Many times I see this related more so to the temperature that anything else. Once the liquid becomes normalized the bottle should return to a more cylindrical shape. Removing the cap while it liquid stabilizes will also help...

I think AG loves you and sent you the special edition one so when you put it in your shelf its "Rima Lick"

The Epic I received a few weeks ago is like that, too. I've tried to let the air out several times to no avail. I was a little disappointed in the product packaging. The Hydro Wash, Amigo & Mistique I have aren't like that at all - they all look like they should. The Amigo, Epic & Mistique all came in the same shipment, so I don't think it's an altitude/atmospheric issue. They were all shipped via ground, too. Bad batch of bottles? Chemical reaction with the contents? Certain products affected by temperature swings?

Difference in temperature.
Mine were slightly squished when I got them last month, they sucked in a little air once the seal was removed.
I suspect it's because it's warm in FL and not here :)
Open them (don't forget the seal under the lid) and let them sit in the house to warm up, they should return back into shape.
