Kasilofchrisn Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) So a few weeks ago I realized I needed some more #6XH Rosco ss split rings. I had considered ordering directly from Rosco but they have a minimum order of 5,000 and I really only wanted ~1,000. Well I found a vendor with a decent price on them and ordered up 1,200 via their eBay store. When I got them I dumped the first bag of 100 into my bin and quickly realized they were not the same as the ones already in there. Got out my Micrometer and my calipers and quickly realized they were standard #6 and not the 6XH I had ordered. The #6XH have heavier gauge wire and these were not made with that wire. The bags were marked 6XH. I notified the vendor via email and he said that's how they came from Rosco. Not sure I believe him though I did promptly receive a full refund. I inquired about return shipping costs in my initial email and he said he doesn't pay return shipping. So until he pays for their return I guess I'll hold onto them. I did tell him he needs to correct this with his other buyers but it's doubtful in my mind that he would unless they figure this out. Fortunately I caught this before putting these on my customers jigs as they are half the # test rating of a #6XH. we catch some big fish here in AK and these need to hold up I ended up ordering from another vendor so hopefully these are the correct size this time. But anyway the moral of the story is double check your parts or order from known reputable vendors.
