These are unfortunately my exact experiences with manufacturing / ODM done in CN. Tight management procedures are needed, otherwise milestones aren't reached and the use of hot glue seems like a fetish, instead of proper cable routing. Given that we got way better (reference) quality from an amateur workshop in Spain for relatively similar devices, i'm soo happy we dropped that ****.
