Keep in mind that AQIS - The Australian Quarantine and Inspection
Service - along with Australian Customs and reciprocal authorities
within the United States, can and will open goods for inspection.
This is particularly true of goods made of wood where almost certainly
AQIS would unpack the goods to make their inspection.
In other words, any number of other third party people could have been
responsible for the damage.
Though I know absolutely nothing of the particular case mentioned,
it does not necessarily follow that someone at Obsession must have
noticed it and shipped it anyway. Therefore it does not necessarily follow
that Obsession has inferior QA.
