One other issue - I ordered about 25 small pairs
of the Jerzees sweatpants from Alpha and when
they arrived, 5 were clearly longer than the
others.  They were somehow mislabeled and Alpha
sent me new ones in the correct size.  That's not
something I thought I would need to deal with but
I now check all the garments against each other
to verify the size.  Takes a few more minutes but
sazes headaches down the road.
