I've bought a number of items from them with no issue. I just purchased a preamp and it arrived with one of the capacitors detached. I contacted them, sent them a photo, and they had a prepaid shipping label to me the same day, no questions asked, no hassle. It remains to be seen how long the repair and return takes, but they certainly responded quickly and appropriately to the issue.
I disposed of the tuner
And you're expecting a refund? I'm confused.
