It may be a "cost" to you but I'd send it back registered mail, signature required with a "nice" letter. Remember, we catch more flies with honey than vinegar. However, be firm. This should not happen as you took precautions against such deteriation. We, as a community let our voice be heard. At least they should replace it even though it may not be any better. THEN they should send it back to where they purchased it. Its called the "journey upstream" and can, at times, be beneficial.
I have did exactly what I've mentioned and it has paid off. Replacement or credit. You may want to mention both in your return letter. Otherwise, it will NEVER get better.

...I was in nickel/copper/chrome plating for 13 year and can tell you they did not PLATE it...merely FLASHED it in the chrome bath. Nuff said....and yes, I've had dealings with the same company over two of their own parts that would not fit together!

Thank you for your information... and for speaking up.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
