Dale from Vacuumtubes.net asked me to send the tubes back to them.
I have raised this issue to Paypal as well.
I actually bought 12AU7 tubes for my upcoming Bottlehead Crack on a separate order from them as well.
And it's sent to my US mail forwarding company - instead of directly to my Aust address.
From the photo taken, they seem to be OK.
But I won't know until I have the Bottlehead Crack, built it, and try the tubes.
Yeah, I 100% agree with you.
Most of the tube stores, incl Vintage Tube Services (http://vintagetubeservices.com/) and Audio Tubes (http://www.audiotubes.com/) don't show measurement as well.
It relies a lot on the seller honesty and reputation esp if you don't have a tube tester.
So, Vacuumtubes.net is a miss for me.
They obviously don't check and test every single tube before shipping as they claim.
The good thing is at least they're responsive.
Always pay with Paypal when dealing with them to add another level of security.
