 What's the deal with Bonade ligatures these days?

6 or 7 years ago I bought a silver player inverted cut-out Bonade ligature for my bass clarinet and loved it. Sadly it got lost at some point and I have been looking to replace it. I ordered one from Amazon and when it arrived it was in a plastic bag, unlike before when it was in a plastic box, and it was crushed. I returned it, thinking it was a shipping problem, but looking around I am seeing reviews on other websites (wwbw was one) saying that theirs arrived crushed in a plastic bag too. Further, not that it really matters too much, but I can only find people selling the nickel plated bass clarinet ligs, not the silver plated ones that I liked the look of.

1. Anyone know what's up with the quality control? I looked around but I couldn't find a manufacturers website for the Bonade ligature, either to give them a heads up about the issue or to see if they still make the silver plated model for bass.
2. Is there anyone selling the same ligature I had before? Or should I switch to something different? I am a bit concerned about ordering another nickel plated one only to find it crushed again.
3. If the answer to 2 is give up and try something else, what would you recommend? I looked at the Vandoren Optimum, but it is pricey.
