Pouch is solid, but was shipped damaged or used... - High Speed Gear Triple Taco Shingle Rifle Magazine Pouches

First purchase from Optics Planet. I was looking to find a couple odds and ends in MultiCam Black, so I was excited when I saw this item in stock. My other two purchases arrived in the shipment new and packaged, but not the HSGI Triple Taco Shingle. It came in the box with all of the components loose and out of the packaging. More concerning is that it was damaged and from the way it looks I suspect an item that was returned. The bottoms of all of the bungee chords were severely frayed to the point where the inner bundles of elastic were exposed on all 6 ends. It looks like someone cut the bungee straight across then purposefully unraveled the nylon, but I can't imagine why someone would do that. The shingle was pretty badly bent into a "U" shape, away from the wearers body. The HSGI clips also came bent, with 2/4 being bent the incorrect orientation. Really not happy with how it showed up.. looks like someone just threw a bunch of loose parts in a box. I took pictures and was going to just send it back, but decided to fix it myself instead since I could not find it anywhere in stock. I cut off the exposed bungee on the pull chords and sealed the nylon with a lighter. The bungee is now kind of short so I'll probably be replacing that eventually. The HSGI clips are good quality and bent back no problem, but the Shingle doesn't sit flush on my rig even when attached so I'm weighting it down hoping it'll break in. I looked up a bunch of videos and pictures of HSGI products, nothing I saw was in such bad condition as what I received. I believe you get what you pay for, and the pouches themselves look sweet and feel like good quality... I haven't used them yet, but I bet they probably deserve a 5-Star rating. That being said, I would not have knowingly spent the amount I did on a (seemingly) used product that was shipped in that condition. Bad Quality Control.
