Rob I used to import 1 to 2 containers a month from India and China as a regional manager for a furniture import company. My job was to unwrap each piece of product and do quality/damage reports with camera in hand(sometimes containers would have 3000 pieces)Although the company I worked for had 10 other locations with nearly the same turnover it was near impossible to control the quality control issues. Working trade shows and talking to other exporters it was evident that this was expected at the price points americans are getting for the labor costs. After awhile I later learned that the company I worked for was able to write off a certain percentage of baits ::ahem:: I mean furniture that were declared damaged goods. Prices should reflect the workmanship in everything especially knockoffs from China

btw does anyone want a "Tiff any" necklace I bought for my g/f a few years ago? not only does it have a space in the name it turns your wrist green in just a few minutes.:7
