    With some exceptions, it is at most a minor annoyance, the vast majority of poeple are not so hung up on it that they’re going to bother raising a complaint.

    Besides, there is an argument to be made that the easier it is to remove an external label without leaving residue, the more likely it will fall off during shipping or stocking, or removed outright by someone before the customer gets it. These kinds of labels stay put and that’s what the company wants until it’s paid for.

    Hell, the label OP posted has “Important” right there. The manufacter wants to ensure that label stays right where it is until its in the customers hands so they can convey whatever they need to convey. These types of labels absolutely accomplish that.

      The label says “importado”, which means “imported”. It really had no important information on it. Of course, compared to other things this is a minor nuisance at most, but I still get mad every time. They even added a second label saying that the bowl is not dishwasher safe. And my wife bought a whole set, 20 pieces, 40 labels.

        where I am import labels usually have information that is legally required. if they fall off in transit the item could be considered illegal to sell. (not like anyone checks labeling requirements though)

      Nah, it says “IMPORTADO”, not Important. And if both the manufacturer of the product and its seller/re-seller accepted it, it means they think it “good enough”.

      Money beats logic, quality, professionalism. I work in corpo, I can attest it to be truth.

        Manufacturer, seller and buyer are in the EU, the import label wasn’t even necessary…
