A shipping crate gets mislabeled. A box of "tungsten carbide" drill bits gets routed to a warehouse, then distributed out to various Harbor Freight locations.

People buy them, and they get dull and break upon use, and the people throw them out and swear they'll never buy Harbor Freight junk again.
