They might want the pics for QC purposes. Whomever is making those parts might have messed it up. Not really all that hard to take pics in all seriousness.
I'll repeat,
The request to send pictures is a PITA for some of us. I have use a camera, take several pic's as I'm not a photographer, then download the pic's, review them, pic out the best and or edit them, then do an email and attach the pic's. Translation: A time consuming royal PITA for a 20.00 purchase.
My shop rate is more than 20.00 for time required to do the above. In addition, 440's cost is likely more as well.
please re read the entire post especially the last sentence or two
