Default Urethane bumper warped please help!

Hey my car is in the shop getting a new m-power rear urethane bumper installed since my old fiberglass version was cracking and damaged from being rear ended. The problem is, the bumper was sitting in my basement for like a year, and apparently it warped. the flat part of the bumper by the hatch is bubbling out, giving it a wavy appearance.

Is there any way to fix this with the flexible urethane material? Bumper cost me like 500 dollars, and I really don't want it to look awful...once painted, it would absolutely look horrible. Here is the bumper I'm talking about for reference.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

A decent shop should be able to reshape it with some heat. That's what they did with my OEM bumper when it had a crease in it.
