Good oscilloscope but questionable quality control and support

I like the oscilloscope but have issues with quality control and AmScope support. The microscope arrived sealed and well packaged, but the plastic cap on top of the stand was broken off. It almost looked broken and part of the lid was discarded before the package was closed. I fixed myself Also, there was no dust cover included. I contacted AmScope support and they said they could ship it back to Revain. Wouldn't it have been easier just send me a protective case? I also separately ordered and received a ready-made collection of AmScope 100 slides. I had to return, as many dividers in the wooden box were broken. At the same time I bought a compound microscope from another manufacturer from Revain and it arrived in perfect condition; I doubt I will ever buy an AmScope product again. Also, the product delivered was different from the images shown on Revain and on the AmScope website - the lighting controls are different (knobs, not rocker switches), as is the power cord to the skylight (it's a heavy coil cord). . no rocker switches), as is the power cord to the skylight (it's a heavy duty coiled cord). . no rocker switches), as is the power cord to the skylight (it's a heavy duty coiled cord). .
