I recently upgraded to a set of Intercomp scales, and was surprised to see how banged up they were upon arrival. There are gouges, dents, deep scratches everywhere, black marks along the sides of the pad, and weird circular marks on the top and bottom.
Now, I certainly understand some scratches and dings during the test/calibration process are to be expected, but this seems excessive. Every scale pad has multiple marks and scratches. For a premium product at a higher than average price, I expected more.
Intercomp didn't seem surprised at all, and told me that there wasn't anything they could/would do about it.
Should I expect the same fit/finish from Longacre? Do their pads come with the same marks on them?
