I have to many stories, Like the hood rubbers that can't even survive the install.
The can opener that you bend the handle on long before it will ever puncher the can,
Its a sour subject for me because I believe half these items sold are sold knowing full well that they suck and they are passed on with the "Give it to Mickey and see if he eats it" mentality.
I have had issues, and reported issues about inferior parts, and returned items. rightfully complained about the way they where represented and guess what. They are still out there unchanged, represented the same way, wasting peoples valuable time, and making money for the USPO.
OH see now you got me started

1 beuatifuldaughter I agree with you 100% and I apologize for getting your day off to a bad start.
My point is basically the consumer is in control. If we buy by price instead of quality than we will continued to be bombarded with junk. I think we all know when it comes to the almighty dollar you have to be your own watchdog,
