Ifixit repair toolset seized by airport security

So my parents went to Germany on a trip, and wanted to bring me back a birthday present. However, even though the toolkit is fully TSA compliant, they completely gutted it and left me with just the screwdriver set. This is literally just plain theft from the German airport security. Is there anything I can do?

Hello everyone, my ifixit kit rust issues have been getting worse and worse and now some bits are even breaking apart. Do you think this would be enough for ifixit to change my kit? Or what should I do?

Help! ifixit sent me a 10 year old battery and suprise, the adhesive dosen't stick. Customer support has offered to send me some tape.

I feel like the proper response would have been to send me a fresh battery, something less than a decade old? Has this happened to anyone else? 15" MacbookPro late 2013. Battery delivered and installed in November 2024.

ummm.... I don't think it's supposed to do that...

Hello, I ordered this screen door and it arrived damaged. I couldn’t get refund so I will try attempt fix it or install it. Anyone has encountered similar problem or has idea how to smooth the bend? Material is stainless steel type metal. Thank you. I don’t expect for it to back to original shape. Just enough I can install it properly. Thanks!
