BUT here in the U.S.A. we're obviously not that concerned about quality, if we were companies like walmart and trail-gear would not be in business!!
One of my favorite quotes: ‘There is nothing in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply. Those who buy on price alone are this man’s lawful prey.’
Sadly, so few people will do any research on companies like those, and even if they did they're too often groggy from the cheap price and don't want to believe what they hear/read anyway.
Bingo. It always amazes me how many people claim to want the best, buy a new Toyota, and then go to Wal-Mart for everything from toothpaste to tires. When the car needs a repair they head to AutoZone for the part. Gee, folks, do you think maybe there's a reason Toyota didn't put AutoZone parts on the car to begin with? How long do you think a Camry would stay running if every part on it came from Advance or Pep Boys or Kragen?
