Buyers beware! Quality control problem

Worked great for about 5 months, at which point the compressor seems to have weakened and will not pump air past ~20 PSI. This item is way too expensive to be this defective.

This battery holder were just right to fit my flashlight.  Unfortunately, one was missing parts (spring and electrical contacts) right from the factory.  This CLEARLY is a lack of quality control from the manufacturer, since I observed the fact that one of the holders was missing parts even before I got it out of the plastic packaging!
The vendor selling this (Far Cloud) was reasonable in their response, by refunding half the purchase price - but now I am stuck reordering another part for the other flashlight (and waiting another 6-8 weeks to get it from China).

Like the idea, but there is some quality control issues here. Got a set of two lamps.  They have 3 LEDs in the base, one green, one red, and one blue. The 3 LEDs run through a cycle by themselves and then together to roll through a sequence of colors.  After a minute or less, we noticed the blue light had all but stopped working, it looks like the whole unit just shuts off then turns on again when the cycle goes back to red.  Well, good thing we got a set of two.  Tried the second unit, but same thig happened -- only this time, the blue LED didn't make it to it's 5th turn in the rotation before it stopped shining.  Returning for refund.  If we can't get a good unit out of two, not gonna bother with another order.  It's a shame, becuase it's a pretty lamp when it works.

Update 1/15/15 - the manufacturer contacted me regarding the problem noted in my original review, immediately sent out 4 new legs, all the correct length, free of charge.  I appreciate their willingness to stand by their product and their willingness to immediately  correct any issues.  Because of their customer service I have increased my review to 4 stars.

[Original review] Ordered this set for a New Years party,and while I was glad I received it on time, unfortunately I had to modify the legs due to very poor quality control.  The first board I set up had a wobble, looked at the legs to find one leg was about an inch shorter than the other.  Set up the second one and the exact same thing!  So I removed all four legs and found that I had two that were long and two that were short but each corresponding leg the exact length?!  So I put the long ones on one board and the two short ones on the other.  Now I had one board with a greater incline than the other, so I had to go find some lumber I could cut down to raise the short legged board to closely equal the other.  Will have to do further work to make modification more permanent.  So, to the "answered question" as to if this set is ready right out of the box, not so much.....at least not with that type of quality control!!  Disappointing to say the least.

Ordered 2 cases of bubblegum gu from seller "boardparadise" and one of them only had 77 out of 84 bars.  Not only was I shorted 7 bars, these were yellow instead of pink (color that they were when ordered directly from bubblegum) and 27 grams instead of 30 (they're exactly 30 from bubblegum). Each bar was 10% short on wax. When all is said and done, I got 161 x 27gr wax instead of 168x30 for a total of 693 missing grams or the equivalent of 23 entire bars!

Bubblegum gu is a good product, and the seller shipped promptly.  The review is for their shoddy quality control.

Horrible quality control.  This product arrived with two left side supports instead of a right and left.  This is a large item so was very inconvenient to get it all unpackaged only to find out that it contained the wrong parts, and then having to pack it all up again so that it can be returned.  Buy something else.  Cannot recommend this product.

Light output is uniform with good color.  Lost two stars for quality control. The bulbs are made of two major pieces, the lower shell which has the LEDs and screws into a standard socket, and a translucent cover that snaps over the top. With my  package of eight, received in an undamaged box, there were 3 bulbs with lens covers popped off.  After fighing them to get the covers on, which wasn't easy, I installed them in a 14' ceiling, where I found two were dead; one of fixed bulbs, and one of the un-damaged ones. 5 major flaws in 8 products is pretty poor quality control.

 Called Amazon customer service and got a full replacement without shipping back the working and non-working bulbs.  Replacements all worked fine, but still, I will probably not buy other bulbs from Phillips.

Purchased 2 orders of 4 each of these Flameless candles. The first delivery arrived with Orange tips and Two ( 2 ) of the 4 had Broken bases . Instead of sending back , I glued the bases together and they looked decent . Problem solved so I place a Second  order .Big Mistake !!!
Second delivery of what was supposed to be a box of 4 Candles only contained Three ( 3 ) .Also , the candle tips were NOT Orange but Clear to White .. So much for matching them with the First order. Two stars because they actually look good but I would say that quality control on this item is a dismal failure . Would not purchase again !!

Just got them and haven't really worn them yet. The shoes fit as expected and are pretty comfortable at least before walking into water. However, as you can see in the picture, the left shoe is a different product from the right shoe. There are only three days left before I have to use them so I won't return the shoes under the risk of not having them at all. The product itself might deserve 4 stars but the seriously poor quality control makes it only a 2-star item.

Terrible quality control!  One door opens & closes relatively smoothly. The opposite door,however, was mis-sized or misaligned.  It's So stiff to fully open or close, it would encourage it being left ajar. Where the heck was the person designated to assure quality???

Poor quality control! Had to send back.  Strap missed loop and is sewn in at factory so could not fix.

This product has very poor quality control on the manufacturing side. After assembling about 75% of this stand, I discovered one of the posts that was shipped was completely unthreaded. I mean it looked like it was never touched. I can't believe that the piece was allowed to ship.

I contacted Amazon directly on a Saturday and they provided the manufacturer's phone number, but the hassle of having to order a replacement part due to poor quality control is mind-numbing. I can't remember the last time that I received a machined piece like that which was clearly not even inspected by anyone on the floor. So, buyer beware....don't be drawn in by the 4.5 star rating. Apparently this is serious issue that gets obfuscated by some people actually getting a product that was inspected.

I like the product idea very much for project work.  Unfortunately, quality control is a problem; one of the five jacks was unusable upon arrival. One screw terminal is stuck open and can not close to clamp down on a wire.  Buy extras if you need 5 working sets.  I am pleased with the build quality of the functioning items.

I will not buy from this publisher again.  Any book publisher who has a standardized caveat in the front of the book saying "This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process...." has no quality control.  That disclaimer should be shown with their listing on the Amazon site.

Ordered one each of these for our 2 65 lb. Golden Retriever girls as Xmas presents and they love them!  The purple and the teal colors are vivid and classy looking.  The main problem is the quality control in the packaging.  One set came with only one rubber foot and the other was missing 2 so had to go to Ace Hardware and buy extras and the sets work great - no wobbling.  It's a good thing because these would have been very expensive to ship back.  Please improve your Quality Control!

Horrendous quality control. I just noticed that part of back of the shirt is sewn into the back yoke like a HUGE horizontal pleat! The shirt is crooked.  Too bad I did not notice this defect a few months ago so I could have returned it! Levi's, what happened??? I've never had a problem with QC on any Levi's item in my entire life. So disappointed in them. Can't imagine how this Boyfriend shirt passed inspection! The so-called inspector must have been blind.

I ordered this item because of the previous reviews, thinking I was buying a quality product; however that turned out not to be the case.  When I opened the package the first thing to catch my eye was the rivet closest to the metal spatula on the handle was sticking up above the handle.  Upon closer examination, the wooden handle was not secured flush with the metal flange, leaving space between the wood and metal to accumulate food particles.  Also, the wood next to bottom rivet was not completely finished, meaning the tool used to shape and finish handle did not make it to the end of the handle leaving an annoying ridge on the handle.  One expects that paying 5 to 6 times the price for a common tool such as a spatula would result in receiving a product without flaws or defects; after all that's why you pay more.  There were at least three opportunities for these defects to be caught before having a customer receive a flawed product: At the manufacturer, vendor's receiving & inspection, and before product was put in box to ship; all failed.  I don.t know if this is a growing trend, like in the software business, to let the end user/customer be quality control, but it sure seems like it when all 3 possible quality check points failed.  I hope this not the case, but the end result is I will never buy another Dexter Russell product due to apparent lack of quality control.
