yeah, we got 1000 DC-DC modules from one supplier and about 5% have
parts missing.   Perhaps they sent us 1050 units and expect us to
reject the faulty ones. I didn't count carefully.

I ordered 20 of some other product and one was clearly defective,
on further checking they'd sent me 22 units.

but usually all perfect, or at worst "as described"
