It seems to me there are enough tested sources, and if one stick is sent out that is suspect, then at the min, that place dont know what they are doing, worst case, they r rippin u off!
Most legit places open the boxes, usually bands are sent sep or shipped at your risk if left intact.
This is my 2 cents and experience, what little I have.
Our money is to scarce to "hope" for legit sticks.
There is a chance a band stick gets thru but legit places are FAST to make it right.
I will never buy from them.
