Quality lost – Made in PRC

Haven't you at least once turned your eyes of a product, while purchasing because the damn thing was printed Made in PRC or China, i am sure you have

China now is the hub of all manufacturing, rather its the world’s factory. That should have made this place more quality conscious, its not i have often felt it to be

Shell petrol is running a campaign which is selling Ferrari model cars – 6 variety – at its Petrol pumps here in India. Last Saturday i drove into one of Shell’s station to fill up my car with some Petrol, as usual they started marketing their wares and seeing my baby boy in the  vehicle the lady started pitching the Ferraris to us. Well, that was quite an attraction to hear 100 Rs for a look alike Ferrari. We went into their store and i decided to buy my son all 6 of the models on sale.

Back home, the cars were already causing my son restlessness and we tore it all out of the neat packing, eager to play with them. They were single motor fixed cars and were sure to be a good thing. We started playing with the cars and realised the tension built up on its coils when we pull it backward wasn’t enough to haul these small toys even a distance of 5 ft. So low quality they were made… even the tyre coating were coming of the wheels.

Shell’s brand and Mattel’s co branded toys are of such poor quality – the question to be asked is that Is it because its made in china ? Well i am sure it is.

Its not these cars alone instead almost anything that you get made from PRC quite distinctly reflects bad workmanship. I only wonder, how in the world do people still buy these things !
