The more successful these cheap Chinese websites are at selling their garbage, the more they will make. Look around and you'll see this junk is everywhere, and becoming more and more ubiquitous every day. Before we know it, quality products will be a thing of the past and we won't even have a choice but to buy cheap ****.
Stop supporting the companies that make throwaway products and continue to support the companies that make quality products made with pride, and made to last.
Amen! But it may too late, given all of the cheap Chinesium parts sitting on the shelves at O'Reilly's, Auto Zone, Advance, et al.
And it's not just auto parts, as I'm sure you aware, but this cheap crap is flowing into damn near
everything now. For instance, I quote repairs on/for commercial HVAC units (rooftops, air handlers, boilers, etc), and it's getting harder and harder to find "good" parts (motors, pumps, starters, relays, contactors....you name it). Common "name brand"
U.S. manufacturers, manufacturers that one would think would use quality
U.S. parts (Carrier, Lennox, Trane, etc), have all gone to using "off-shore" components, and the replacement parts are just as crappy.
In my opinion it all boils down to the desire for "low cost", and it seems to me we're in a race to the bottom. Which isn't good considering we've lost a lot of our manufacturing base....
But this is starting to lead into an N&P-like rant, and I don't wanna go there, so....
Good Luck to all of us!
