9 Gauge Loops Broken on Arrival

9 Gauge Loops Broken on Arrival
I remember as a kid buying Ernie Ball strings for my bass guitar and they were perfect. I just got my banjo back from my father and it was in storage for quite a long time; just over 10 years. I decided I'd swap out the strings and knew they would have to be Ernie Ball's. So I prepped my banjo before hand so I could restring it upon arrival of the new strings. Well, unfortunately, both 9 gauge strings had their loops broken. I can understand that this may happen every now and again, those are small gauge. But now I'm going to have to wait a couple more days for them to arrive.
