    Getting them to replace the entire kit has been a challenge. I would avoid this vendor if possible.
    VMI did finally give me a full refund. I reordered from Amato and the kit arrived in a much better package and interestingly enough, scotch tape over the R-0870-1 reagent.

    Yes, it's best to order directly from Amazon if possible. They ALSO screw up shipping, but returns and refunds are much easier with Amazon.

    So far, it appears all the other guys (Amato, VMI, etc) *eventually* straighten things out, but it's not always fast or fun.
