Hello,
Our silistretchers are prepared with oil on the turn knob for better function. We assure you this device has never been used. This is literally the oil we apply when assembling. Even if we were to send you a new device, the device will also have oil inside. However, if you would like one without oil that is possible just know your device will not function the same.
You say you are not getting any suction, are you using the device properly? This is something we can discuss in detail via email. There's also instruction located in our shop you can print out if need be. And videos on youtube.
( We don't include instructions in any of our packaging due to the privacy of all of our customers)
We also don't ignore our customers, you emailed us and I remember specifically speaking to you or to someone with these same concerns. (It May have been another customer because it seemed we had come to an understanding) Did you provide photos in the emails you sent to support? We always ask for photos. Thanks for the photos you uploaded here, it really helps me explain to not only you but to other customers who may have these concerns in the future.
(Actually, we may add this disclosure to the website so others will know your
silistretcher will have grease/oil inside for function purposes)
As for the blue padding, they are also made in-house and we assure you your padding has never been used. However, can you please provide photos or explain why you feel the padding has been used as well?
Customs:
Are you saying you paid $300 for your order or did you pay $300 for your customs duty? If it was for duties well sir that would be Impossible! However please provide an order number and customs receipt so I can look into your order to see why your customs duty would be $300. If for some reason we failed on our end to take care of you, we have no issue with resolving this. Simply provide the necessary proof. Thank you.
I hope this has helped, as we want you to be satisfied. Please reach out to me here, or via email:

Thanks for your support, look forward to hearing from you.
