BT apparently has a *lot* of troubles w/ their new Chinese supplier, who apparently farms out work to cottage industries, sweatshops and maybe to prisons.

Maybe if you complain to BT and Pavement Ends you'll get a response. (I got a response telling me they'd get back to me w/in 48 hours.)

BTW, BT seems to be finding what others have found. China is cranking out immitations of PE tops. The neighbor bought one last month & it looks at least as good as the PE top... for $50 less.
