I am almost happy with the order, except for a few blemishes.
I was concerned when I saw the package taped in Posta Moldovei tape, which means the post have opened the package. When I opened the box, my concerns were validated: the plywood box of the granite surface plate was unsealed, and the cover just sitting on top, having all it's sharp staple prongs exposed to the other items inside; the lapping films were scuffed and wrinkled; there was a sizeable scuff on the saw's handle, as seen on the second photo. The unboxing was not pleasant, but I put blame on Posta Moldovei.
The granite surface plate comes with a technical certificate and a hight map protected in a plastic bag. The certificate stated 0.001mm accuracy, which exceeds the 0.003mm accuracy stated on the product page, which is excellent.
My suggestions:
- Protect individual small items in additional wrap of paper or plastic film so they don't rub against each other or take a direct hit when the package is pierced.
- Let a better postal carrier handle the packages in Moldova, like Nova Post. They work in Europe and worldwide, handle packages with a lot more care, use modern practices, notify of delivery immediately, and most of the time do not open and unseal packages.
