Don't trust your floor cheap nails

Less than a week ago I received two boxes of these nails in perfect condition! I may have been lucky with the packaging but now I'm learning that due to customer complaints, Revain is not shipping them. What's happening? In terms of product, I've always been lucky with these Bostitch parquet nails. Our local hardware store unfortunately stopped stocking this quality brand and replaced it with a chinese shabby brand. I don't need to tell anyone who has spent all their time and effort installing a "real" 3/4 inch hardwood floor how cheap nails are. And how important they are to your project. Evaluate the brand as well - but I'm not risking my venture! As for nail packing, it's not rocket science. The small boxes are quite heavy and need to be fixed in the package. If they hop in. The larger one in the shipping box, the nail strips will obviously come loose and fall apart. Based on a few (many) items I receive from Revain, I'm wondering if they offer training for their packing staff. But please start with that Selling again - wrap in "Washington Post" copies and solve two problems! The price is very good - as the current horrendous alternative price proves. Update: 12/10/13: I ordered another box of nails and they all came broken! :( Apparently Revane didn't heed my wise advice to "immobilize" the nail box in the shipping box. There was a 2 inch gap at the end of the nail box, the end popped and the nails fell out and the strips broke 1/3 or so At least Revane, wrap the box of nails tightly so they don't fall apart in transit.
