If they can't afford to tell the person running them or person shipping to take the 30 seconds and check artwork for each item then they may as well automate the whole thing and have it autoprint like walmart photo vs paying for a premium service.
Yes, this was a big order but from the sounds of it there was an amount of messed up printings, not just one and a decent amount of people affected by their lack of quality control measures. Maybe you were just lucky, or maybe they just had a crappy don't care worker the day our stuff was made.
The fact replacements had to be made in the first place may very well affect any future business sent or not sent their way.
