It could get expensive, but we could start sending all obviously substandard 
junk (not fitting, falling apart, etc.) back to the distributors. The 
catalogue companies get away with selling junk because there are no 
consequences.  The same is true of China - they sell cheap junk at a cheap 
price (remember "Made in Japan?") and people keep buying it.  Once it starts 
costing them money, they will improve or find new sources.  And we will pay 
more, because higher quality always costs more.
