yep, there's a great book "Poorly made in china" ( https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/5116296 https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/5116296 ) that explains how the do it...
It's basically making a deal, and them replacing the components until you notice, then making you pay more for more expensive components, even though the more expensive ones were in the original deal. Sometimes also replacing key components, because someone from the factory tought that they were 'better' (=cheaper for the company)
- KingOfCoders 4y agoThey learned that from outsourcing companies. Replacing people with less-experienced ones until you notice, then let you pay for additional people, or QA, or project management.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoYep, plus additional tactics, like waiting for the importer (of chinese goods to eg. USA) to get a huge deal, and then raising the price, because the importer has to deliver the goods in a relatively short term, and there's no time to change the supplier. Also (in the case from the book - cosmetics) a lot of questionable health/hygine practices.
