GOOD LORD!!! i sent 4 packages and two got there and two were returned for fraudalant shipping labels per the postal inspector. WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO THINK?? I was very surprised the other two reached their destination. I was expecting them to be returned to me any day now. As far as the crank goes it was buttery smooth till i took it to work and cleaned it in my solvent tank. after that the bearings had some noise, but no play and i just assumed it was because there was no oil in there at all. Wasn't like that before i cleaned it. I just cleaned it so it wouldn't get anything oily in the box. Anyway, I am as honest as they come, or try to be at least. Karma is key here and i truly believe you get what you give. I've already sent Minin22 a PM and we will come to a resolution quickly. Its just a big ole headache at this point. But its nothing i can't handle.
