Some are so bad you can't actually fit a BB in them in the first place. Hambini also makes custom BBs to compensate for terrible manufacturing and companies like Boardman who refuse a warranty claim on a brand new frame with BB shell that was undersized, oval and forward/back and high/low out of alignment.

Such as? If that's the case you or the shop aren't going to accept the product then are you? I mean, if manufacturers want to ship that kind of shit out they've got to expect for it to cost them more than they make in terms of returns and damage to reputation.

No one refuses my warranty claims...

I don't get it. Either the bike functions properly or it doesn't. If I buy a new frame and it starts killing BBs every month because it's on the piss I will get a refund. If it's not on the piss, I won't be asking for a refund. I'm not going to measure it up to check though. Who else is going to measure it to check and where's this tolerance limit increase you're talking about? Some companies are going "oh, our bike only kills your BB in 8 months so no refund"?
