Companies don't find out a China manufacturer switched something until
the products have already been imported and sold. They will NOT allow
inspection.

Oh, please, that's just pure BS. There are numerous quality control
strategies that any company with a pulse can use to prevent
that from happening.

Or they set up phony assembly lines for quality
inspectors. Out and out deception and fraud! See for yourself...

And when you do normal quality control sampling of the incoming
product that is made like crap, you find it. Or if the product
won't fit on the assembly line or breaks you know you have a
problem. Then you figure
out what they pulled and you send it back, don't pay for it,
and cut them off your vendor list.



Read the book: Poorly Made in China: An Insider's Account of the
Tactics Behind China's Production Game...http://www.amazon.com/Poorly-Made-Ch...tion/dp/047040...

They can have a tactics they want. Any decent US company
that is concerned about quality won't let them get away with it.
On the other hand, there are US companies that don't give a
damn, and know perfectly well what they are buying. If you're
a US company shipping crap that is made in China, it's not
because of the Chinese, it's because of YOU.
