I purchased it from a member on another board. When I picked it up from the PO, the pvc tube had already been shattered in two, and 'repaired.' Either it got jammed in a sorting machine, or a fork truck ran it over...these are the only things I can think of.
The USPS then had the stones to tape the tube back together, and send it on as if nothing had happened. There were literally several shards of plastic missing from the reconstructed tube.
I filed a claim with the PO, and received a refund of the purchase price, but not the shipping.
I wanted to go postal...and that's an understatement.
