People like you are the reason why manufacturers have dropped the quality standards on so many fronts nowadays. It`s a rush to the bottom, using cheap Asian labor to churn out junky, ultra-cheap products in sweatshops for undiscriminating and easily pleased Homer Simpson-like consumers. D`oh!

Well I have had products leak on me in the mail, but they were replaced without question. As far as the issues with return, I still don`t grasp your concern! If you sent a bottle of polish back to the maker for a return, sure they could just refill and re-seal it if they wanted. A reputable company who wants to stick around in this business probably would just throw it in the trash and move on (or maybe test it to see if was a defect batch).

Then it turns into an issue of trusting the maker rather than trusting that it is sealed.

People like you are the reason why people like you have no friends. :chill:

Hmm, pretty racist comment there. So everything Asian made is "cheap" and "junky"?

Hmm are we seeing some of your true colors now?

Bryan, you miss the point. An unsealed product can be mailed out, adulterated, then mailed back for full refund, then resold. Sure, does not happen a lot, but my experience with buying via the `net in recent years is that quite a lot of stuff gets sent back and then re-sold. I`ve had electronic and camera equipment sold to me that was clearly sold before, as I could tell from the state of the cables, etc.

Electronic and camera equipment=$100s

I see you have reading comprehension problems. Labor is cheap in Asia. Is that a racist statement? Discuss. Cheap and junky product are produced in Asia (as are very high quality products). Is that a racist statement? NEXT.

Man, you have a lot of bad luck buying things, Shubba. I don`t want to alarm you, but I`ve heard that some people, while they are out, have their residence broken into and all their belongings replaced with exact duplicates. This could have happened to you or me! That computer you are typing on might not really be yours! Sorry if I ruined your day.

**Shubba** · 12-20-2005, 07:25 PM

boring as most of your posts are
