I know there's more pressing issues in this world but this is a joke.
I bought a pack of good looking xmas cards to send off to the family, says made in China on the back. Just about to write my wishes in them and the cards have nothing inside, didn't they used to have messages and that inside? Also after writing on them I noticed there is not even any sticky stuff on the envelope.. WTF? The only thing I have to glue the flap down is loctite. I know it's probably a petty winge but how can they sell this crap. Loctite 406 isn't cheap either |

It's a blessing in disguise bro. Imagine going old-school and having to lick the 'glue'? The Mums over there refuse to feed their infants baby formula that's made locally.

I picked up a pack of Aussie made Christmas cards they were the best I had seen this year. It was a pack of 10. I out it back when they wanted $30.00 for the pack.
Next to this pack was a pack of 30 for $5.00 probably made in China. |

I bet the importer scraped the barrel & imported the cheapest cards on offer to make big profit's here. Where they from Woolies?

They used all the sticky stuff on the envelopes to assemble their cars

I should have known, it was like a while ago i bought a cheap welding helmet from bunnings, got it home and it didn't have any bolts in it to affix the frame to the mask so I had to go BACK to bunnings to get some 6mm bolts just so I could use the new mask i bought.
I should have learnt my lesson then lol. |

God bless Australian small business, I support them but I think I'll give their Crissy cards a miss now!
