Come-on Bob,

Amazon doesn't give a shit if you ever buy from them again. My distributor =
had better give me as good as I can get or they know the consequences. It c=
ertainly wouldn't pay for them to knowingly provide sub standard anything a=
nd if it did occur they have no choice but to change sources or lose more b=
usiness from their dealers. It's not that they can't be duped into a bad so=
urce but once finding out they have no choice but to remedy it.=20

If you buy bad wire from a distributor and you go back and show them and ot=
hers do the same ..... they're going to change their source. Doesn't help y=
ou now but if you see that they don't change in the future it was either a =
mistake on your end because nobody else complained or they will soon not be=
 selling any more of that product and will sell something else.=20

Same thing will happen with Amazon but much slower because they'll keep sel=
ling it to new people all the time and just won't know (or care if) they ha=
ve a problem. But eventually after they have accumulated enough bad reviews=
 of the product will stop selling it. But you're gonna have a hard time get=
ting re-reimbursed from them for a roll of wire that you already have insta=
lled.
