Jeff,

everything you have mentioned is absolutely right from the customer's perspective. No question at all.

But in reality the hair replacement industry in Asia does not work the way you assume it does or as it should according to our Western common sense.

Or to put it into other, more drastically words: no worker, no technician, no factory owner in Asia/China cares about how many people might have boxes with unworn pieces or whatsoever at home!

To deal best with all your mentioned concerns you would have to set up your own factory... and guess what that would require quite some cash and even more nerves!

The result? Yes, hopefully you would might get better than good products. But no, you would not ever get perfect products. And hell yeah, the production costs per piece would easily double or triple... and you know exactly what that would mean, right?

So, the only economical alternative is to use an existing factory, one of the best available and most capable to be precise. And even if you find one and even if you succeed to establish a more or less healthy business relation and even if you are in a very lucky position to place orders for more than a million per year, they will never ever do exactly as you say or as you wish! But the more money you have the closer you come.

Is this fair? No. Is this what we expect to be taught in Harvard? No. Is this how it shoud be? No. But is this how it works? Well, unfortunately, yes, it is.
