Arrived damaged and in suspicious packaging

I was disappointed in the looks of the Nagoya NA-771 VHF/UHF antenna. The packaging was a simple clear plastic bag loosely wrapped around the antenna. No hallmarks other than a sticker on the pocket.

There was a gap of at least 1/8 inch that the included sealing washer didn't fill properly. It was not attached as securely as the Std Yaesu Rubber Duck antenna. I also tried a friend's diamond antenna and it installed correctly. I contacted a
