So does this prove that we probably just need to start fully opening the boxes while the delivery guy is there to fully inspect the machine? I never fully opened one just so driver doesn't have to wait, but after the recent events, I'm going to say too bad for delivery guys. I'm not signing off until I see entire machine. Sorry you got a machine with blemishes. If you bought a new car with scratches down the side, would that be alright? Absolutely not. Good luck with getting fixes.

It is like buying a new car special ordered, or anything else that gets delivered after bought. If you bought a new refrigerator from best and it was delivered with scratches down the front, what do you think best buy would do? They'd return it free of charge for a non damaged one. These pins cost ten times that amount. It doesn't matter what it is. Anything bought NEW should be undamaged. Otherwise we would all buy used and save money. Hell, most huo games have less issues than some of these QC issues on nib lately. That said, the particular issues here are fixable. The legs will cover up the holes and you'll forget about them. The scratches can be fixed with a new decal, but what a PITA. That's probably your best bet at this point I'm guessing though. As long as people keep buying and putting up with this stuff, it will always be something new from stern.
