Back when I was a fabricator I made some of the critical components used in Amazon stores. Amazon was incredibly particular about every little detail, even on parts that didn't call for tight tolerancing in any conceivable way. They, on several occasions, sent us one bad set of prints after another. Which we could only discover after completing a run of parts. We're talking 20-30 thousand units that ended up being scrapped because of their shitty prints. Millions of dollars set on fire, basically.

They became such a huge pain in the ass to work with we eliminated every single SKU they ordered from us.

@SippyCup I have never heard a single good thing from anyone who works with or for them.
