AKA the Gorillas write the rules - or abuse them for their gain. Several years ago my Father-in-law worked for Malleys. There was a merger and another and acquisition... He had left and began a distribution business to Hardwares etc. The giant started swallowing up his suppliers 1by1 and ended up with 85% of whitegoods manufacturing under their reign. Then put the squeeze on cost went up and they brought in their own undercutting distributors. Fair enough so F-I-L went to Asia and brought in a container of samples to distribute got the certifications. When 2nd container hit the docks ready for sales - impounded under trade practices write - as market dumping - too costly & time consuming to fight in federal system he turned from bathrooms to kitchens. A few years on this firm has close whitegoods manufacturing down and imports it all from China - go figure.
