There's a few things that I notice (and I have no dog in this fight, because I've had only positive business interactions with QSC so far):
1. When QSC came here, there was a little bit of the Western bigotry leveled against him. Here comes the cheap Chinaman with his cheap Chinese shit, and he doesn't deserve to be here (and I'm not just saying this because my kids are half Asian or anything, but it's a sentiment that I noticed from several posters from the beginning....maybe I'm just more sensitive to it given my life experience). So he responded in-kind with his unique attitude. And then things got off to a rocky start.
2. Then there was the fact that some brewers felt he would cut in to their business with the prices. So they were on top of every lower purity test they found, and they were on top of every business interaction that they felt was not up to par. This made QSC even more defensive.
3. The desire to hold sources accountable (which I TOTALLY agree with) became even more intense with QSC because his business started to pick up. So then he became even more of an asshole back. And he knows he's got the best prices out there, so it affords him some room to talk some shit. This made him even more of a lightning rod.
The 2 grand deal that went bad ...I don't know much about it...I'd have to read more. I've only had good communication and good business so far with QSC. I am on the fence, because I side with the vets with holding sources accountable, but in my experience, it's all been good so far with QSC. I am going to order some finished oils next week and post my test results here for everyone to see. Maybe that will help some bros out there.
