I went in for a closer look
Bigger picture

The middle one (third from bottom and top), IS FAULTY  :-BROKE.
Silkscreen on 2.0mm to 1.4mm is faded. Also text "EEVBLOG.COM    µRuler" text has jagged edges for the same reason. When I look really close with good light, I can see it looks like rasterized, with not enough ink. Maybe their machine ran low/out on white ink/silkscreening?
Issue can be clearly seen on that top ruler. Rounded corner.

After playing around all day with my shiny new µRulers (I was doing other things and just fiddling around with them, also I played only with two but all five are the same), I noticed all of my 5 rulers have a notch at the inch measurement end. Measurement end is not straight. Not all corners are exactly the same, some rulers have bigger notch than others, one is almost non existent, if the others didn't have it I wouldn't have noticed. Millimeter start and end are straight, inches start is straight and stop looks like router was badly configured to produce these in a hurry, so it took too much from the end.

Anyone else have this? I doubt it's only my rulers. The faded silkscreen might be more rare issue. Not that it is a huge issue for me, thought I should still report it. Might still be enough to complain to pcb manufacturer for discount on possible new batch?

I got my 5 uRulers today (19-11-2013) in the Netherlands.
And i can also see the very tiny notch on all my rulers like Legit-Design mentioned but that's not a problem.
Tanks Dave :)

Hi Dave,

Thanks,

I got mine today, envelope looked like ViceSpys' picture. The Australian post label was covered by the sticker; no idea which country they were posted from. (I'm only 200 miles from Sweden, but I don't think they came there.)

Received 5 uRulers here (Sweden) today, sent from "DLWW Pty Ltd, Malmo, Sweden".

No problems except some slight warping and a slightly smudged silkscreen on one. Already using them. Thanks!

I was one of the people contacted later into this that was told that my address was not on file, despite me already being aware of the issue and being 100% sure I entered it in the day I pledged the money.

Were those by chance sent at a later date? That might explain why mine hasn't arrived yet.

No, all were sent at the same time. I exported the database a day before they were sent, so if your address was in by then it would have made it, otherwise nothing was sent at all.
