man...I hate hearing this stuffId contact them first but try to figure if its even possible that a blade could have been pulled out of that tear in shipping..is the tear hole large enough? does it have the weight printed on the envelope?
Lssson learned...and than some lolI have seen a BG ASH-1 cut straight through the box it was en route in, the postal delivery man asked me if I knew what was coming in the box cause he 'found' it in his bin that the box was in. He almost put his hand straight on the bare blade, would not be difficult at all for it to have been lost similarly FWIW. I always ship with great care to securing the blade with tightly wrapped layers of corrugated cardboard around the blade, I have not lost one yet for this reason.
