Do companies deliberately send their defective products to Mexico to sell?
Having lived in Mexico most of my life, I’ve definitely seen the following trends: • Product release dates are staggered in a way that leads to products taking months/years to show up in Mexico, if at all. This even applies to products that are assembled in Mexico for the U.S. market. • ‘Obsolete’ products (e.g. printers that don’t have native drivers for newer OSs) stay in retail distribution channels for a long time. • Tighter restrictions on product returns / warranties make it harder to act on defective products.These conditions have gotten better over the past 20 years, but very gradually.
