Between manufacturers in some third world country employing pre-pubescent workers, and distributors using minimum wage order pickers, the results are pretty predictable. Then everybody gets into a race to the bottom to see who can provide the worst customer service at the highest possible profit margin. Welcome to the brave new world of doing business online instead of going to the corner auto parts store when you need something. Also, three of the packages I've received from USPS in the past month have arrived with damage, taped up and bearing a USPS sticker saying "We're sorry your package was damaged in shipment!" One of them had no merchandise in it at all- - - -just wadded-up packing paper. The seller reimbursed me for the cost of the item and my shipping charges, but I doubt that he will be ablle to collect on his loss.
